Distribution lists and shared inboxes solve different problems. Learn the differences, pros and cons, and what works best for support and operations.
Distribution lists (group emails) broadcast messages to multiple recipients, while shared inboxes centralize messages into one workspace with assignments and status.
If you need visibility and collaboration with clear ownership, a shared inbox is usually the better fit. If you simply need multiple people to receive alerts or announcements, a distribution list can work.
The common failure of distribution lists for support is double replies and missed messages because there’s no single source of truth. Automyc is designed around shared inbox workflows so teams can collaborate without chaos.
