Google postmaster

The Google Postmaster tool allows you to track and analyze information from Google through three main tabs: Dashboards, Domains, and IPs. This guide will walk you through the process of adding domains for tracking, integrating via API, and viewing results.

To add domains for tracking, you need to share your domain with our system. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Go to the Google Postmaster Tools website and sign in with your Google account.

  2. Select the domain you want to share from the list of domains.

  3. Click the Settings tab.

  4. Scroll down to the Access Management section.

  5. Click the Add Member button.

  6. Enter the email address you want to share the domain information with. For EmailConsul, use [email protected].

  7. Click the Send Invitation button.

Method 2: Google Postmaster API Integration

For those managing lots of domains and adding them constantly, it is recommended to integrate via the Google Postmaster API. Here’s how:

  1. Log in to your Gmail account associated with your Google Postmaster account.

  2. Visit Google Cloud Console and search for “Google Postmaster Tools API”.

  3. Click Enable, and then click Manage.

  4. In the left menu, click on OAuth consent screen and create a consent for the EmailConsul app (refer to the attached screenshot for guidance).
