Since it is a Google product, you can only add Gmail addresses to Google Analytics.
The person, or people, you added should receive an email that they were added to your site's Google Analytics, as long as the box labeled 'Notify users by email.' was checked on your Analytics.
Why It's Important To Have Freshy Add Users
We recommend clients go through us to add users to their Google Analytics account as opposed to doing it themselves.
Your site's Google Analytics tracking code / account houses a variety of sensitive information about your website.
Having too many people given access to your site's Analytics puts all of that sensitive data at risk if the account of one of the people with access gets hacked for some reason. Keeping the number of people who have access to your Analytics at a minimum is recommended to keep your website's data secure.
