Are you wondering how you can send email from Google Sheets automatically?
If yes, then let me tell you the easiest way to do so that too without any coding. In this article, I’ve explained the step by step procedure. For this automation, I’ve used the Pabbly Connect service to establish a connection between Google Sheets and Gmail.

Before getting started with the procedure, let’s discuss a little about the services that are involved. Google Sheets is an excellent spreadsheet program. Whereas, Gmail is a free email service.
By integrating Google Sheets with Gmail we are going to auto-send email from Google Sheets entries. This way, whenever a new row/data is added on Google Sheets an email for that particular entry is sent automatically.
