Project email hub spoke architecture
name: Hub-and-spoke email routing: all brand inboxes forward to justinwieb.com Workspace hub description: All brand emails (Nova Design, Gus Outdoor, Gus the Bass, Sip-N-Serve, JWVR) route via Cloudflare Email Routing to [email protected]; Send Mail As configured per brand type: project
Approved email architecture (discussed 2026-05-18, not yet implemented):
- Hub:
[email protected](Google Workspace) - Inbound: Cloudflare Email Routing for each brand domain, catch-all
*@<brand-domain>→[email protected]. Free, all domains already on CF. - Outbound: Gmail "Send mail as" configured for each brand address and
[email protected]. Forge can send as any brand address via Gmail APIfrom:header. - Sorting: Gmail filters label by destination brand (e.g.
to:*@shopnovadesign.com→ labelnova-design). - Personal Gmail:
[email protected]stays alive as identity/recovery/YouTube account. Auto-forward + auto-archive filter on personal. Forge never needs to touch personal Gmail directly.
Brands in scope: gusthebass.com, shopnovadesign.com, gusoutdoor.co, sipnservesociety.com, virtualrealityalliance.com.
Why: Single SA in justinwieb.com Workspace handles all brand email/calendar/drive with zero extra Workspace subscriptions ($400-600/yr saved vs per-brand Workspaces). Hub handles solo-operator multi-brand cleanly; scale to per-brand Workspace only if employees are added.
How to apply: When building email automation for any Forge brand, read/write from [email protected] hub and filter by brand label. Do not design per-brand inboxes or separate OAuth paths.
