Gmail has become a very important part of our working lives and thus, any chance to use it optimally and efficiently is a welcome idea.
That is why then, in this article, we look at some important Gmail hacks which will help you be efficient in your email write ups and save on time.
Auto compose
Have you ever found yourself struggling with how to start and write an email? For example, do you want to ask for a raise but do not know how to begin? If so, worry not because Gmail has a simple hack for you.
Simply click Compose, then go to the bottom of the page, where you will see a magic pen with a star next to it. Click on it, and it will give you a space on which you can write your prompt. For example, you can tell it, ‘Write an email asking for promotion from my boss’.
Gmail will then give you a template on an email on the selected topic and you can then change details on it as you wish. Furthermore, you can go to the bottom of the mail and refine your message. You could either formalize, elaborate or shorten the message.
Setting up templates
Alternatively, you can create several templates which can help you save valuable time if you are constantly sending a lot of emails with the same basic information.
Simply go to Settings > See all settings> Advanced link. Then once you open advanced link, scroll down to the section called Templates and click on the circle marked Enable. Once clicked, you can now create up to 50 unique templates. You will simply click Compose, then write your email address and subject. Then click on the three dots at the bottom right then select Templates. Then insert one of your templates to the message.
