How can I invite Fireflies to meetings from multiple email aliases?

  • Updated

In this article, let us see how to invite Fireflies to meetings from multiple email aliases. 

What is an alias and how does it work? 

Alias are multiple email accounts owned by the same person. 

  • You may have different email ids or aliases that you use, which are different from the email address you used to sign up with Fireflies.
  • For example, you may have used bob@tesla.com to signup to fireflies. But you may have bob@gmail.com that you use to conduct meetings.
  • In order to be able to invite Fireflies with different email ids and still see the meetings in the same Notebook afterward, you need to invite the other emails as teammates.

More FAQs about Email Alias 

Q1: I have signed up Fireflies using bob@gmail.com. I've one more email bob51@gmail.com that I use to conduct Zoom meetings. Is it possible to add the email as an alias? 

  • Yes. You can add bob51@gmail.com as an alias. You can invite bob51@gmail.com as a teammate (using the above steps) and log in to Fireflies using bob51@gmail.com. Alias will be created.

Q2: How many Alias emails can I add? 

  • If you're on the free plan, you can add as many alias emails as you'd want. Note that, here you will have limited transcription credits and storage
  • If you're in the paid plan (Pro or business), you can add at the most two alias emails under your current admin email
    • Anything in excess of two will be charged as one seat and will have the same plan as your main email address

Q3: Does the alias email need to have an account in Fireflies?

  • Yes. Alias's email needs to have an account in Fireflies.
  • You can use the Invite team member option to send an invite to the alias email
  • Login to Fireflies using the alias email.

Q4: If I add two aliases in the Free plan, would it change my overall transcription credits and storage? 

  • Assuming that you've used a Gmail id to signup, in the free plan, you get 800 mins of storage and 1 transcription credit/seat.
    • When you add two alias emails in your free plan, it's essentially like adding two teammates or accounts into your workspace.
    • So, in this case, your entire team will get
      • Total storage of 2400 mins (800*3 accounts)
      • Total transcription credits of 3 (1 credit*3 accounts) 

If there are certain aliases that are not added to your team after sending an invite, feel free to ask your questions here.
