  • Remove internal links to the G Suite Domain Contact page for your organization

    We just got an mail from Google


    You are receiving this email because users within your organization may have active links within their documents, websites, scripts, or applications that go to Google’s G Suite Domain Contact page. On August 31, 2020, the Domain Contact page will be removed, since it contains the Admin contact details of Google’s customers. If your users don’t remove internal links to this page in their resources, the links will break as of August 31, 2020, resulting in a “404 Error” code.

    What do I need to do?
    Instruct your users to remove the following Domain Contact page link within your organization’s internal documents, websites, scripts, or applications: www.google.com/a/<domain-name>/DomainContact.

    You will need to provide your users with the <domain-name> for your organization and send them the following step-by-step instructions:

    To remove the Domain Contact link, follow the steps below:
    Step 1: Open your internal documents, websites, scripts, or applications.
    Step 2: Search for any links that reference www.google.com/a/<domain-name> with your domain name filled in for <domain-name>.
    Step 3: Look for links that contain DomainContact.
    Step 4: Remove each link.
    Step 5: Replace the link with a tested, live link to a document or website.
    Step 6: Save your document, website, script, or application.
    What if I don’t do anything?
    Google is not providing a redirection link for the G Suite Domain Contact page. This may cause a 404 “Page Not Found” error when your internal users attempt to use documents, websites, scripts or applications that rely on the link.

    I found the reply of this on Reddit

    Apparently the email refers to if you have a 'support message' set up on your Gsuite account, which many people don't. This is used mainly by organisations or teams of people collectively using a Gsuite Account. Here is what they said at support:

    'Basically, when your users open this link > https://gsuite.google.com/dashboard they see the support message, that you as an admin have setup (admin.google.com > Account settings > Profile > Support Message )

    This message can be all by your preferences, as it may be the company name , or it may be guidance on how to contact the admin of the account, etc

    It's now deprecated, as most admins are using it as a way of providing contact details (theirs or of other admins, which is basically violating... to say so, the policies for information privacy'
