You need to ensure you have set up the alias account in Gmail before beginning. Please ensure you have marked your alias account to work as an alias (see below)

Once this is ready, navigate to the left hand side of your dashboard and next to "shared inboxes" click + to add a new shared inbox. Click "sign in with Gmail Alias"
