Thankful for Reminders
Add Reminders is a Google Sheets add-on that enables you to send emails from a spreadsheet. The add-on will format your spreadsheet so that you simply enter reminder messages and email addresses; then you can specify a date on which you want your reminders sent. The Add Reminders add-on allows you to send the same reminder to everyone on your email list, or you can send individualized reminders to specific people on your email list. In the video embedded below, there is a demonstration of how to use the Add Reminders Google Sheets add-on.
