Are you still trying to get an invite to Google’s Inbox? Did you miss that massive invite-spree last month, where everyone who asked nicely got an invite?
Fear not! They’re doing it again.
If you still need an invite, Google is doing the happy-hour thing again this afternoon.
[Update: the happy hour window is now over. You can still try the below steps, but your email might go ignored.]
How to get in:
- Compose an email from a Gmail address (but, sadly, not a Gmail For Work address. Those still don’t work.)
- Send it to inbox@google.com between 10 am and noon pacific today.
- Tada!
Last time this happened, the onslaught of emails hit Google so hard that their mailbox actually started rejecting emails, resulting in Google extending the spree for a little while longer than planned. No guarantees that’ll happen this time, so be quick if you want in.
