To send thousands of emails at once, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform facilitates the integration of Google Sheets and Gmail, streamlining your email marketing efforts. First, visit the Pabbly Connect landing page and sign in with your existing account or create a free account.
Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘Send Thousands of Emails with Gmail,’ and select a folder to save it in.
2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect
In this step, you will set up the trigger for your automation using Pabbly Connect. The trigger determines when your workflow will initiate. For this tutorial, we will use the ‘Schedule by Pabbly’ trigger to run the workflow every Saturday at a specific time.
- Select ‘Schedule by Pabbly’ as your trigger application.
- Choose the frequency to run your workflow, selecting ‘Days of the Week’ and then choose Saturday.
- Set the time for the email to be sent, for example, 10:25 AM.
After configuring these settings, your trigger is set. This means that every Saturday at 10:25 AM, your workflow will automatically start the email sending process.
3. Fetching Data from Google Sheets Using Pabbly Connect
Next, you will set up Google Sheets as the action application in your workflow. This is where Pabbly Connect plays a crucial role in fetching customer data from your Google Sheets. Select ‘Google Sheets’ as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Get Rows’ to retrieve customer details.
To establish a connection, click on the ‘Connect’ button and sign in with your Google account. After successful authorization, select the spreadsheet containing your customer data, which should have columns for names and email addresses. Specify the range of data you want to cover, such as from A2 to B250.
- Choose your spreadsheet titled ‘Customer Data’.
- Set the range to A2:B250 to include all relevant customer information.
Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that the data is fetched correctly. You will receive a response that contains the details of your customers.
4. Sending Emails with Gmail via Pabbly Connect
Now that you have your customer data, it’s time to set up Gmail as the action application to send emails. In this step, you will use Pabbly Connect to connect Gmail and send personalized emails to your customers. Select ‘Gmail’ as your action application and choose the action event ‘Send Email’.
After connecting your Gmail account, map the email address field using the data retrieved from the previous step. Set the sender name to ‘Sam Supermart’ and create a compelling email subject, such as ‘Saturday BOGO Sale!’. In the email body, personalize the greeting by including the customer’s name, which you will also map from the previous response.
Map the email address from the response to ensure each email is sent to the correct customer. Add the subject line ‘Saturday BOGO Sale!’. Include a personalized message in the email body.
Once everything is set, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test email. You should receive a confirmation that the email has been sent successfully.
