New Gmail Features You Need to Know About

MEL: 00:00:11

So I noticed two new features that we have on Gmail.

MEL: 00:00:14

I don't know if you have noticed them, but I would like to show

MEL: 00:00:17

you how anybody could use them.

MEL: 00:00:19

Not only marketing people or content creators, but anybody in the organization

MEL: 00:00:24

can benefit from these two features.

MEL: 00:00:26

This is a new one in which you are able to send the same email to different people.

MEL: 00:00:33

Without them knowing this new feature allows us to add up to 1500 recipients.

MEL: 00:00:41

That's a lot of people.

MEL: 00:00:47

Hello YouTube.

MEL: 00:00:48

My name is.

MEL: 00:00:49

A and this is my first time on the channel.

MEL: 00:00:51

I'm very excited to be here sharing with you today.

MEL: 00:00:53

I'm a knowledge manager at Solution State.

MEL: 00:00:56

I do social media content and I also um, manage the knowledge

MEL: 00:01:00

that comes from John and KA spray.

MEL: 00:01:03

That's a lot, right?

MEL: 00:01:04

Well, just a couple of days ago I noticed.

MEL: 00:01:06

Two new features that we have on Gmail.

MEL: 00:01:09

I don't know if you have noticed them, but I would like to show

MEL: 00:01:11

you how anybody could use them.

MEL: 00:01:13

Not only marketing people or content creators, but anybody in the organization

MEL: 00:01:19

can benefit from these two features.

MEL: 00:01:21

Let's dive into them.

MEL: 00:01:22

Okay, so here We are in Gmail.

MEL: 00:01:24

We are writing a new email.

MEL: 00:01:26

Right at the bottom.

MEL: 00:01:28

You will notice that there are two new bottoms.

MEL: 00:01:31

Let's explore them.

MEL: 00:01:32

The first one are layouts.

MEL: 00:01:35

Whoa, what is this?

MEL: 00:01:36

Yes, you don't need a graphic designer anymore because Google has built

MEL: 00:01:41

in some templates into our email someone they're called call to action.

MEL: 00:01:45

Some are a little bit simpler without any images.

MEL: 00:01:49

Then these look like pretty cool announcements with a lot

MEL: 00:01:52

of color in the background.

MEL: 00:01:53

Or even Just simpler, just the title, maybe a button an image.

MEL: 00:01:58

And that's it.

MEL: 00:01:58

If you want to customize it, you can, you can add your logo.

MEL: 00:02:03

I have added so let's just say logo in here from my drive.

MEL: 00:02:08

Also I can customize my brand colors.

MEL: 00:02:12

I click here on the plus button and then paste my hex color.

MEL: 00:02:17

And there it is.

MEL: 00:02:18

Everything should be green.

MEL: 00:02:19

Now I can customize my fund also Sarah or something a little bit

MEL: 00:02:25

chunkier or a little bit rounder.

MEL: 00:02:27

In our case, we're just going to stick with this one that looks

MEL: 00:02:30

a little bit similar to the one that we use at Solution Site.

MEL: 00:02:33

Then at the footer I added Solutions Aid business.

MEL: 00:02:36

Mailing off address.

MEL: 00:02:38

that's the one that I'm going to leave.

MEL: 00:02:39

And in the links, these are pretty cool.

MEL: 00:02:42

You can choose, just maybe.

MEL: 00:02:44

An email in here or your Facebook link.

MEL: 00:02:47

In my case I added solution save so.com.

MEL: 00:02:50

That's our homepage.

MEL: 00:02:51

Then the YouTube channel chasms Twitter, just in case you don't

MEL: 00:02:54

follow him, go follow him now.

MEL: 00:02:57

And you can add as many as you like.

MEL: 00:02:59

Just make sure that you choose the category because, and

MEL: 00:03:02

you will see why in a minute.

MEL: 00:03:04

Let's say the change.

MEL: 00:03:05

Now you can see that everything is very green, so aid green.

MEL: 00:03:09

So I'm going to use this one, and here it is.

MEL: 00:03:13

You will see that.

MEL: 00:03:14

so aid logo appears on the header, and now I'm going to customize the title.

MEL: 00:03:20

So I'm going to call it newsletter just for.

MEL: 00:03:28

Okay.

MEL: 00:03:30

I want them to be my email subject as well.

MEL: 00:03:35

Okay.

MEL: 00:03:35

I can change the font of this title.

MEL: 00:03:39

Let's add one with Sarah.

MEL: 00:03:41

Then the beautiful copy should go in here.

MEL: 00:03:44

And then this button, you could either leave it or remove it.

MEL: 00:03:48

You can change where is it directing to?

MEL: 00:03:50

Maybe you have a form that you want people to fill out, or maybe you have

MEL: 00:03:55

a blog that you would like people to read after what you have offered or.

MEL: 00:04:00

Wherever you want to direct them.

MEL: 00:04:01

And also you can add another image.

MEL: 00:04:04

You can change your image for something related to your product or

MEL: 00:04:07

whatever you are communicating about.

MEL: 00:04:10

In this email this one has more images and more descriptions.

MEL: 00:04:13

Make sure that you update them okay with your content.

MEL: 00:04:16

And then you have an option of a second button.

MEL: 00:04:18

If you don't wanna leave it, you can remove it or just change it.

MEL: 00:04:22

As you can see down here, we have the links or the buttons that will

MEL: 00:04:26

direct us to the links that we added.

MEL: 00:04:29

This is our website, our YouTube channel, and cast's Twitter.

MEL: 00:04:33

And then our footer is the address that we.

MEL: 00:04:36

Okay.

MEL: 00:04:37

Now second feature.

MEL: 00:04:38

Pretty cool, right?

MEL: 00:04:39

Click here on the little envelope.

MEL: 00:04:41

And this is a new one in which you are able to send the same email to

MEL: 00:04:47

different people without them knowing.

MEL: 00:04:51

We used to do this in a BCC mode but then you would lose track of

MEL: 00:04:56

who have you sent it to, et cetera.

MEL: 00:04:58

But in this case this new feature allows us to add up, to 1500 recipients.

MEL: 00:05:04

That's a lot of people.

MEL: 00:05:06

A lot of people.

MEL: 00:05:06

So I'm going to add it as myself.

MEL: 00:05:09

I am going to add myself as a recipient.

MEL: 00:05:12

Here it is.

MEL: 00:05:13

And then we are okay.

MEL: 00:05:14

Every person will receive a copy of this email personalized because it doesn't say,

MEL: 00:05:20

for everyone that they'll see all of the email addresses, just the one for them.

MEL: 00:05:25

And that's it.

MEL: 00:05:25

If you don't have to twitch anything else, let's click on continue.

MEL: 00:05:31

it should say that I have not changed either the text or

MEL: 00:05:37

the images, and that's okay.

MEL: 00:05:38

I am aware of that.

MEL: 00:05:40

Okay, I could either send myself a preview and that'll be in my inbox

MEL: 00:05:44

before I blast it to everyone else.

MEL: 00:05:46

I recommend doing this, definitely.

MEL: 00:05:48

I have already tried it and it's really good, but in this case, I'm

MEL: 00:05:52

just going to say send it to all.

MEL: 00:05:54

I am aware that I have not updated my links, but this is a really good reminder.

MEL: 00:05:58

Follow clicking send.

MEL: 00:06:00

Same with the images.

MEL: 00:06:02

I am aware that I did not personalize them.

MEL: 00:06:05

So let's take a look really quick at some other templates

MEL: 00:06:09

that I sent myself earlier.

MEL: 00:06:11

This is another one, different colors.

MEL: 00:06:13

The text is still the same because it's just a plain one but it

MEL: 00:06:16

still has the header and this one.

MEL: 00:06:19

This one doesn't have images.

MEL: 00:06:21

It's just text.

MEL: 00:06:22

You can customize it as you wish according to your needs.

MEL: 00:06:26

Let's give it a second while it gets here.

MEL: 00:06:29

Load.

MEL: 00:06:42
