SEND EMAIL TO MULTIPLE ADDRESSES USING A LIST DATAPILL

Complete the following steps to send an email to multiple email addresses using a list datapill in Gmail, with 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

The output of this action is a datatree that contains information about the sent email. Refer to the Gmail API documentation (opens new window) for more information.

Output field	Description
ID	The unique identifier for the email.
Thread ID	The identifier for the email thread.
Label IDs	The identifiers for the labels attached to the email.
