Set up the action
Add the action
While editing a Workflow, click the + button between existing blocks. Select Draft Email with Gmail from the action list.

Rename the action (optional)
Click the action name to give it a more descriptive label for easier reference as a variable in later steps.

Toggle on reply to trigger email (optional)
If you’re using this action with the New Email Received in Gmail trigger, enable Reply to Trigger Email to draft a reply to the same email thread that started the Workflow.

Enter reply to email (optional)
Enter an email address manually, use a variable from previous steps, or click the list icon to search and select an email from the trigger.



Toggle on reply all (optional)
Enable Reply All to include all recipients from the To, Cc, and Bcc fields of the original email.

Enter the recipient
In the To field, enter a single email address or a comma-separated list of recipients.

Enter the subject
In the Subject field, enter the subject line. You can reference variables from previous steps or the trigger. This field is required when creating a new email thread.

Enter the email body
In the Email Body field, enter the content of your email. You can reference variables from previous steps to personalize the message.

This action creates a draft in your Gmail account — it does not send the email. Use the Send Email with Gmail action to send emails directly.
