Create a gmail mailing list
To create a Gmail mailing list, you can use Gmail's built-in feature called "Labels" to categorize and manage your emails. Here's a step-by-step guide to create a mailing list:
Step 1: Create a new label
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click on the gear icon () in the upper right corner of the page.
- Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Click on the "Labels" tab.
- Click on the "New label" button.
- Enter a name for your mailing list, e.g., "Marketing Team".
- Click on the "Create" button.
Step 2: Add members to the mailing list
- Go back to your Gmail inbox.
- Search for the emails of the people you want to add to your mailing list.
- Check the box next to each email address to select them.
- Click on the "More" menu and select "Apply label".
- Select the label you created in Step 1 (e.g., "Marketing Team").
- Click on the "Apply" button.
Step 3: Create a filter to automatically apply the label
- Go back to the "Settings" page.
- Click on the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
- Click on the "Create a new filter" button.
- Enter a search query to find the emails you want to add to the mailing list. For example, you can search for emails from a specific domain or with a specific subject line.
- Click on the "Create" button.
- In the "Apply the label" section, select the label you created in Step 1 (e.g., "Marketing Team").
- Click on the "Create" button.
Step 4: Use the mailing list
- To send an email to your mailing list, simply address the email to the label name (e.g., "[email protected]").
- Gmail will automatically apply the label to the email and send it to all members of the mailing list.
- To view the members of your mailing list, go to the "Labels" tab and click on the label name. You'll see a list of all the email addresses associated with that label.
Note: This method is not a traditional mailing list, where you can send a single email to multiple recipients. Instead, it's a way to categorize and manage your emails using Gmail's built-in features. If you need to send a single email to multiple recipients, you may want to consider using a third-party email marketing service.
