Whether you’re running a small or big business, managing emails can be quite time-consuming. But what if you could automate certain actions in your inbox and save time and effort daily? In this blog, we will cover How to Use Gmail Automation For Your Business in 2024.
What is Gmail Automation?
Gmail automation is the process of using technology to automate tasks that are typically performed manually in Gmail. This can include tasks such as sorting emails based on conditions or sending a sequence of emails till someone replies.
Automatically Sort Incoming Emails with Labels
You can use Gmail’s built-in filters to automatically label and sort incoming emails based on specific criteria such as sender, subject, or keywords. This helps keep your inbox organized and ensures important emails are easy to find.
Here are the steps to set this up:
Step 1: Open Gmail and click on the search bar.
Step 2: Click the dropdown arrow to open advanced search options.
Step 3: Enter your criteria (e.g., sender’s email address) and Click “Create filter”.
Step 4: Select “Apply the label” to choose or create a label. And finally click on “Create Filter”.
This way, all the emails from a specific sender will be automatically sorted under the new label.
Automate your Follow-ups
Think about all the hours spent composing and sending email follow-ups, whether it’s about post-meeting, interviews, weekly and monthly reports, or just checking in about a task or something else.
