A few weeks back Google introduced a new application called Inbox which aims to revolutionize how we deal with email on our mobile devices. Google has a habit of making new products and services “invite-only,” we all remember the Google+ days, so there has been a lot of demand for Inbox invites. Those who still haven’t been able to secure one can get their invites straight from Google, which is going to feed the frenzy today for two hours.
This isn’t the first time that Google has started sending out invites to anyone and everyone for a predetermined amount of time. The company did this during a “Happy Hour” last month as well.
During that Happy Hour it received so many requests that the mailbox started rejecting emails, so Google had to extend the time limit in order to be able to accommodate those who had sent in their requests for an Inbox invite.
If you want to claim an Inbox invite today, send an email to inbox@google.com between 10am and noon Pacific today. The email must be sent from a @gmail address, Inbox does not support Gmail for Work addresses right now.
You will immediately receive a confirmation that says an invite will be dispatched “as soon as possible.” It shouldn’t take long before your invite for Inbox arrives.
