We all love Gmail and the features it provides to help us with our daily lives, but there are times when you feel like you need much more than what standard Gmail provides. Fortunately, Gmail has some cool features that you can use to improve the efficiency of your workflow and save you a lot of time.
1. Creating Unsubscribe button:
When you do cold emails, you have to add an unsubscribe button as per GDPR compliance. there is a little trick that I have found from where you can get a list of Unsubscribe on your email. you just have to add a line with the “Unsubscribe” button as a link as shown in the image
2. Add Gated Extension:
Gated requires unknown senders to donate to charity in order to reach you, ensuring that everything in your inbox is worth your time. It helps you to reduce noise so that you can focus on what’s important

3. Adding calendar Link into your signature:
Calendy reduces the back and forth of asking for a meeting time. With calendy, one can set time slots so that others can choose the best time to meet based on their convenience.
4. YAMM:
When it comes to email campaigns and tracking them, YAMM is the best tool I’ve tried; it allows me to send multiple emails at once with a personalized touch. I strongly advise you to check it out because it is free and well worth your time to explore its functionality.

5. Add Delay on your email:
How many times have you felt you could undo an email after sending it? It happens a lot if you’re like me. And our Gmail knows, which is why they have a 30 second delay or UNDO time. Where you have a 30-second window to undo and resend an email after correcting it
6. Add Beautiful crafted signature:
Who doesn’t like to add a signature? Signatures on Gmail can be used for anything from adding contact information to announcing an upcoming launch. However, creating it frequently necessitates the assistance of a designer and a coder. What if I told you there is a website that allows you to choose a signature style from a single piece of information and create it on your own?
It allows you to create signatures for multiple platforms at the same time.
