Description
Who is it for
This workflow is designed for anyone who wants to simplify email automation without leaving Google Sheets. You can also send out emails automatically, without even visiting Google Sheets. It’s especially useful for:
- Marketers sending bulk or personalized campaigns
- Recruiters managing outreach from candidate lists
- Small business owners who want automated follow-ups
- Anyone who wants to trigger emails directly from sheet updates, e.g. event updates.
How it works
The workflow connects Google Sheets with Gmail to let you send emails in either of two ways:
- Bulk emails (mail merge): Use data from your sheet to send an email to multiple email addresses, one by one.
- Triggered emails: Automatically send an email whenever specific values or conditions in your sheet are met. No need to manually copy, paste, or switch to Gmail, because the process is fully automated.
