Automate Your Email Outreach: Sending Gmail Messages from Google Sheets Via Zapier

Published on Feb 28th, 2024

Are you looking for an efficient way to send personalized emails directly from your Google Sheets using Gmail? Zapier, a powerful automation tool, offers a seamless solution for this task. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of setting up a Zapier workflow that will enable you to send emails from Gmail to a list of addresses stored in a Google Sheet.


First, ensure you have a Gmail account and a Google Sheet with a labeled column for email addresses. Next, sign up or log in to Zapier.


Here's a step-by-step guide to creating your automation:



  1. Create a New Zap: Log into your Zapier account and click on ‘Make a Zap’. Give your Zap a descriptive name, such as ‘Google Sheets to Gmail Email Sender’.



  2. Set Up the Trigger:





  • Choose 'Google Sheets' as the trigger app.

  • Select the 'New or Updated Spreadsheet Row' as the trigger event. This means your Zap will run whenever a new row is added or updated in your spreadsheet.

  • Connect your Google Sheets account and grant the necessary permissions.

  • Select the specific spreadsheet and worksheet that contain the email addresses.



  1. Set Up the Action:



  • Choose 'Gmail' as the action app.

  • Select 'Send Email' as the action event.

  • Connect your Gmail account to Zapier.

  • Customize the email by adding the recipient email address from your sheet. Fill out the subject line and email body. You can include personalization using fields from your spreadsheet.



  1. Test Your Zap: Run a test to ensure that the email is sent successfully when the conditions are met in Google Sheets.



  2. Turn on Your Zap: Once you have confirmed that everything works, switch the toggle to turn on your Zap.




From now on, whenever your Google Sheet gets a new or updated entry in the designated email column, Zapier will automatically trigger an email send from your Gmail account, streamlining your outreach and saving precious time.


Remember to comply with email regulations such as GDPR and avoid sending unsolicited emails as part of your campaign.


By following these steps, you can practically put your email outreach on autopilot. Zapier’s integration between Google Sheets and Gmail provides a robust solution that is both effortless and efficient, ensuring your communication is timely and professional.
