6 Gmail Extensions for Chrome You Should Install
1. Rename Gmail
We begin with a free extension called “Rename Gmail” that allows you to edit the subjects of any email you’ve received. The primary rationale behind someone using this is for a more understandable and clean inbox. Automated emails, especially, don’t usually come with a clear subject line. For instance, a booking confirmation might come with a label such as “your booking has been confirmed,” but it doesn’t specify which and what reservation it is. With Rename Gmail, you can just open the message, click the little pen icon, and type in whatever you want.
2. Gmass
Email outreach service, GMass, lets you send personalized mass emails from your Gmail account. A follow-up email campaign and sequence can also be created with it. Creating a campaign in Gmass involves specifying recipients’ groups. Then you create a template. Recipients are grouped based on the data you’ve entered into the spreadsheet. Sending mass emails, automating follow-up campaigns, building lists, and testing alternative email sequences are all things small businesses can do with Gmass. A handy Gmail extension, indeed!
Checker Plus
While Gmail does support desktop notifications, you still are required to open the web app for the reading message. This is where Checker Plus comes in. Apart from offering comprehensive control over notifications, the extension also lets you quickly glance over the recent emails by clicking its icon on the tray. Moreover, the window can be divided for handling multiple accounts as well. Checker Plus is also entirely free of cost.
Simple Gmail Notes
Another nifty little Chrome extension for Gmail is “Simple Gmail Notes”. As the name suggests, the app lets you add some additional notes to emails and search the inbox based on that. Moreover, you can color code according to your preferences, and the extension also supports Google Inbox. “Simple Gmail Notes” can also sync with your Google Drive account. Hence, you can use these notes for other purposes as well.
Pretty Print Gmail
“Pretty Print Gmail” tries to simplify the format whenever you print any email. The extension discards the rest of the interface’s elements and prints only the message. Moreover, you can also append the entire thread to a PDF document and save it. This ability can also be applied to multiple independent emails; you can just select several messages in your inbox and click the print button from the drop-down. Pretty Print Gmail is free to use as well.
