    Just tried and liked all three. I was just remembering an old Mac OS8 (I think) app that would let you store a number of texts so you could evoke one when needed. Tabs seems cool, and tracking will become indispensable, I'm sure but Snippets promises to be my first choice in terms of current usefulness.
    Many thanks for a super-informative video!

    • @cloudHQGoogleChromeExtensions
      @cloudHQGoogleChromeExtensions 4 года назад

      Snippets are great for having to rewrite the same line over and over again. You can also try Email templates and save that as well. Look at "recent templates" in point #7: support.cloudhq.net/how-to-setup-email-templates-in-gmail/

    First, the free e-mail tracker will be great to find out when people or companies opened the contracts that I have sent to them. I just installed it. I also installed the G-Mail new tabs tracker, so that I can keep track of messages and delete the junk more easily. I receive at least 150 messages daily, and this will obviously free up some of my time. Thanks very much for a wonderful video.

    For those that don't like the Cloud HQ tag that gets added to outgoing emails, there is another extension called "Footinator" that will remove the tag.

    • @cloudHQGoogleChromeExtensions
      @cloudHQGoogleChromeExtensions 4 года назад

      Hey Ryan! Thank you for being such a fan! You can also just: 1) highlight the tag and manually delete it, or 2) upgrade for a really low monthly price where the tag will be removed, and you'll also get the ability to send your emails to SMS text numbers, and export your tracking information into a CSV file for better follow up: www.cloudhq.net/g_suite/pricing?product_what=gmail_mail_tracker&cycle=M
      The major point we want to drive home is: We don't know who Footinator is, and not sure if they're collecting data with regards to privacy or security, so please be careful.

    Great video as I tend to spend way too much time in Gmail. Do you see an advantage to Gmail Snippets over a standard text expander? I went ahead and installed Snippets but thought I'd also ask the expert.

    • @Simpletivity
      @Simpletivity  5 лет назад +1

      The one advantage that I like a lot about Snippets is that it gives you a preview of the phrases you've created. I also like that I don't have to remember a bunch of shortcuts, but can just focus on the backslash. But of course, this particular add-on will only function in Gmail and not other places.

I'm wondering if, in that block of text, You could include the snip it/shortcut to automatically include *today's date* for lack of a better example.

      This really comes down to what the extension is needing to do. i.e. if you want the tool to be able to schedule emails, send automatic replies, etc, then you will need to give them access to the account.
