Have you ever found yourself sending the same email to a group of people over and over again? It can be time-consuming and frustrating, especially if you have to remember each person’s email address. Luckily, Gmail offers a convenient feature called “email groups” that can save you time and effort. In this article, I will guide you step-by-step on how to create an email group in Gmail.
Step 1: Open Gmail
The first step is to open Gmail. You can do this by navigating to the Gmail website or opening the Gmail app on your mobile device.
Step 2: Compose a New Email
Once you are in Gmail, click on the “Compose” button to start a new email. This will open a blank email draft.
Step 3: Add Recipients
In the “To” field of the email draft, start typing the email addresses of the people you want to include in your email group. Gmail will automatically suggest contacts as you type. Select the first contact by clicking on it or pressing the enter key.
Step 4: Create and Name the Email Group
After adding the first contact, you will notice a little downward-facing arrow next to their email address. Click on this arrow to reveal a drop-down menu. From the menu, select the option that says “Create new” or “New group”.
A new window will appear where you can name your email group. Choose a name that is descriptive and memorable. For example, if you are creating a group for your coworkers, you might name it “Work Team”. Once you have entered the group name, click on the “OK” or “Create” button.
Step 5: Add More Contacts to the Group
With the email group created, you can now add more contacts to it. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each contact you want to include in the group. You can also add contacts to the group at a later time by editing the group’s settings.
Step 6: Save the Email Group
Once you have added all the desired contacts to the group, click on the “Save” button to save the changes. Gmail will now remember the email group for future use.
Step 7: Use the Email Group
Now that you have created the email group, you can easily send emails to all the contacts in the group. To do this, start a new email as you did in step 2. In the “To” field, begin typing the name of the email group. Gmail will automatically suggest the group as you type. Select the group from the suggestions, and all the contacts in the group will be added to the recipient list.
Conclusion
Gmail’s email groups feature is a fantastic time-saving tool that allows you to easily send emails to a group of contacts. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can create your own email group in just a few minutes. Say goodbye to manually typing each email address and hello to efficiency!
