Send a drip email to your contact list automatically

Every 30 minutes it emails the next unsent contact on your list, then marks them off so no one gets missed or repeated.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats schedule triggers next run.

The problem it solves

Sending a personal email to every contact on a list one at a time is easy to forget or mess up. You either lose track of who's already been emailed or send the same message twice.

Who it fits

Small businesses and solo marketers running a simple outreach list.

How it works

  1. The system checks your Google Sheet every 30 minutes
  2. It finds the first contact who hasn't been emailed yet
  3. It sends your pre-written email to that person
  4. The sheet is updated with the date and time the email was sent
What you get

Contacts reached without you sending a thing

Everyone on your contact list gets your outreach email in turn, spaced out automatically, with no one skipped or emailed twice.

What you get

Emails sent to your list one at a time, with a spreadsheet log of who's been contacted and when.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and an email account for sending.

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.
