SEND EMAIL TO MULTIPLE ADDRESSES USING A LIST DATAPILL

To send an email to multiple email addresses using a list datapill in Gmail, complete the following steps using the pluck and join list formulas:

1

Set the To field to Formula mode by clicking the formula icon next to the field.

2

Drag the list datapill containing the email addresses into the To field.

3

Type .pluck("email_address").join(",") after the list datapill. Use the field's API name to extract the email addresses instead of the label or name displayed in the datapill.

The .pluck("email_address") function extracts the email addresses from each item in the list, and .join(",") combines them into a single string separated by commas.

Output field	Description
ID	The unique identifier for the email.
