Choose your Bot's email name carefully: you get one, and it stays
Claiming an email address for your Bots takes one sentence: tell any Bot "Get yourself an email address." What's easy to miss is that the name is a one-time decision. Each Grok Bot account gets a single address at mail.grokbot.com. You can't rename it, you can't delete it, and once a name is claimed it's never handed to anyone else.
It's an account address, not a Bot address
The address belongs to you, and every one of your Bots uses the same one in your chats and routines. So don't name it after one Bot. "researchbot" looks odd when your shopping Bot signs up for a store with it six months from now.
Think about who will see it
Stores, newsletters and the people your Bots email will all see this name. Your own name, your business name, or a neutral word you'd be fine reading on a receipt all work. Skip inside jokes and anything you might outgrow.
Know the rules before you type
Keep it short and plain. You're limited to small letters and numbers, plus dots, dashes and underscores in the middle, and the first and last characters can't be punctuation. Sixty-four characters is the ceiling. Generic words like support, admin, help, billing, team, grok and xai are off the table.
Let the Bot check, then approve
Your Bot will ask what name you want and look up whether anyone has it. If the name is open, a card comes up for your OK, and the address stays unclaimed until you tap it. Treat that card as your proofreading moment and read the name letter by letter. On desktop you can skip the Bot: in Connect apps on the sidebar, go to Email, enter your pick under Choose a name, then hit Create address. On a Cursor team, an admin has to switch agent email on before anyone can claim one.
After you claim it
There's no inbox screen and no new-mail alert. Ask a Bot what arrived, or have it set up a routine that wakes when mail comes in.
