SEND EMAIL TO MULTIPLE ADDRESSES USING A LIST DATAPILL
Complete the following steps to send an email to multiple email addresses using a list datapill in Gmail, with the pluck and join list formulas:
Set the To field to Formula mode by clicking the formula icon next to the field.
Drag the list datapill containing the email addresses into the To field.
Type .pluck("email_address").join(",") after the list datapill. Use the field's API name to extract the email addresses instead of the label or name displayed in the datapill.
The .pluck("email_address") function extracts the email addresses from each item in the list, and .join(",") combines them into a single string separated by commas.
Output
The output of this action is a datatree that contains information about the sent email. Refer to the Gmail API documentation for more information.
| Output field | Description |

| ID | The unique identifier for the email. |
| Thread ID | The identifier for the email thread. |
| Label IDs | The identifiers for the labels attached to the email. |
