> Google Sheets expert Ben Collins shares tips and tricks for getting the most out of G Suite for your personal or business email.

In this interview Ben also shares a number of Google Apps Script based solutions he has developed and shared for managing his inbox including “I wrote a small program that automatically creates a draft reply from each row of my Google Sheet. Based on the sentiment of the response, the program adds a generic thank you message. Now my workflow is to go directly to my draft Gmail folder, review these draft emails (which include the feedback so I don’t even have to look at the Google Sheet) and add a custom response before hitting send”. You can view the interview for a link to the example script Ben shared for this.
