What’s changing For select Google Workspace editions, we’re adding two new features in Gmail which you can use to easily send professional-looking emails to large audiences:
Layouts: You can select from a predefined set of email templates, which include images, text elements, and buttons. You can further customize these templates with your own color schemes, logos, images, footer text, and links.
Multi-send: This feature allows you to send mass emails without the need to BCC all recipients. You will also get replies in separate threads, making conversations easier to manage. By default, multi-send emails include an unsubscribe link unique to each recipient — any external recipients who unsubscribe are automatically excluded from future multi-send emails from you.
Additionally, we are introducing an Admin setting to control whether these features are on or off for your users.
The admin settings are rolling out now, allowing time to configure availability for their end users in advance. See below for more information.
These features are only available for Gmail on the web at this time.
Who’s impacted Admins and end users
Why you’d use them We hope these features allow you to quickly and easily create announcements, newsletters, and other mass-email scenarios. Additionally, your recipients will have the ability to unsubscribe from future multi-send emails.
