Gmail

Save time by automating your follow-up process with new respondents to your Sprig study.

The workflow below is built off this template.

  • We only want to send an email to participants that have _accepted _the opportunity to be part of a study. Here is an idea of how to create the filters, this may vary depending on your study question configuration. This flow will activate when the following two conditions are met:
    • This Study Name contains Recruit (make sure you add this to the title)
    • There's a response that has someone's email (the "@" symbol)
  • Search for Gmail as the action ( e.g. where should the data be sent to)
  • Choose the Send Email action. For all available actions supported by Gmail, visit the Zapier Library.
