Yesterday I shared a simple Gmail trick for those emails you find yourself typing—or copying and pasting—over and over again. A few of you asked how to set it up, so here are the steps. 👇
Turn on Gmail Templates
→ Open Gmail.
→ Click the ⚙️ Settings icon.
→ Click See all settings.
→ Select the Advanced tab.
→ Find Templates.
→ Select Enable.
→ Click Save Changes.
Create the email you want to reuse
→ Click Compose.
→ Write the email exactly as you normally would.
→ If you'll personalize the message, use something obvious like [FIRST NAME] as a placeholder.
Save it as a Template
→ Click the three dots ⋮ at the bottom of the Compose window.
→ Choose Templates → Save draft as template → Save as new template.
→ Give it a recognizable name, such as New Member Welcome or Customer Follow-Up.
Send it to someone
→ Click Compose.
→ Enter the person's email address.
→ Click ⋮ → Templates.
→ Select your saved template.
→ Replace [FIRST NAME] and make any other personal changes.
→Click Send.
Do it again for the next person
→Start another email.
→Select the same template.
→ Personalize it.
→Send.
In a few minutes, you'll create a reusable Gmail template you can pull into a new email anytime, personalize for the recipient, and send.
Write it once. Personalize it. Send it again. 📧
