The problem it solves

You keep a list of customer messages to send but manually checking dates and sending each email one by one eats your morning. It's easy to miss a scheduled email or send the wrong message to the wrong person. Tracking what's already been sent adds another manual step.

Who it fits

Small businesses that send scheduled customer communications from a spreadsheet.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system checks Google Sheets for messages due today
  2. It filters for entries matching the current date
  3. Gmail sends each email with the recipient, subject, and content from the sheet
  4. The sheet is updated to mark each message as sent
What you get

Customers who hear from you right on schedule

Your spreadsheet gets checked daily and the right email goes out to each customer exactly when it's scheduled.

What you get

Sent emails and an updated Google Sheet showing what was delivered.

What you need

A Gmail account and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
