The problem it solves

Gmail makes it awkward to send as a different alias with attachments through the standard tools your other systems use, so you end up working around the limitation manually. That gets old fast if multiple tools or team members need to send as that alias.

Who it fits

Businesses that need other systems or team tools to send email from a specific Gmail alias.

How it works

  1. Another system or tool sends over the sender, recipient, subject, message, and any attachment links
  2. The system formats the email content automatically
  3. It sends the email through Gmail using your chosen alias
  4. Attachments are included based on the file links you provided
What you get

Emails sent from the right alias every time

Any tool on your team can trigger a properly formatted email from your chosen Gmail alias, attachments included.

What you get

A sent email from your specified Gmail alias, complete with attachments.

What you need

A Gmail account with the alias already added and Gmail API access.

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.
