How to send automatic emails to your contacts based on pre-scheduled
dates specified in a Google Sheet. Use it for sending reminder email/ Deadline
reminder/ Meeting Invitation when a due date is reached.
If you run a company or you are in such position in an organization
where you have thousands of clients across the globe to be managed through
emails, or send reminders time to time, or have to send deadline reminders. It’s
cumbersome job to send individual mails or track record of it, which is again a
huge task to handle.
In such situation, we wish to have some automated function or
application/ process which make your task easier.
Send Automatic Emails with Google Sheets
Let’s say, Paul is looking for a reminder system that will
automatically send an email notification/meeting invitation to their colleague
when their per-scheduled are coming up in next few days. Let’s see how he can
build such a workflow in 10 minutes with the help of Mail Merge for Gmail.
The idea is simple.
We have the customer data in a Google Sheet or a Microsoft Excel
spreadsheet. The “Meeting Date” column in the spreadsheet contains the date
when the meeting is to be happen at mentioned “Location”. We set up a workflow
matrix that runs in the background and monitors the mail scheduled date. If there’s
any meeting coming up & you want to send the invitation mail in advance
from the meeting scheduled date, an automatic email reminder is sent to the Colleague
at the particular location as per the workflow matrix maintained by you.
