At 77, I am glad to learn anything that will speed up my progress. These add-ons seem to work stupendously and I am very impressed with progress. Indeed, when I started work at age 16 in 1958, everything was done manually, thank you for your efforts.

I love Boomerang. I use it for two cases: 1) When I get an email that I don't want to see now but at a later date. 2) Telling my boss I'm (fake) sick and not coming in. Instead of forcing myself to wake up really early saying I woke up sick, I'll schedule an email to be sent at said early time, while I actually peacefully sleep away lol

I find your video's very helpful. I am coming from the outlook world and am learning what I can for G:Mail. I have to admit that I am not a big fan but I'm trying. Question that I have is there a way that you can change the subject in an email and High-lite it? I was able to do this in outlook and it really made finding things like paid bills easy.

Thank you for a most useful and informative video. I would like to compose emails as if I were using a word processor. Do you have a recommendation?

@Simpletivity 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching and your question, Avrum. What types of features from a word processor are you wanting to use with your email?

@avrumgolub2735 6 лет назад

Beyond that which is available in Mail for Mac & Gmail: Spacing, tables & their properties, text boxes & other graphics ... ...

@Simpletivity 6 лет назад

I would recommend creating these types of emails in Google Docs and then copying and pasting it into your Gmail message. All of the formattings should carry over properly.

Question for Auto Text Expander: How to manage if the shortcut key is part of another word that should be written as it is and I dont want to expand that?

@LoveLove-qh3iz 4 года назад

Thanks for your videos! They are super helpful. I actually had no idea that gmail has a snooze button. I wish that gmail had an option to do some of the features that I used within outlook. For example, when an email was sent only to me, or from a certain person, I could color code it. This made things easier for me to navigate through emails that were the most important. Does anyone know if gmail has any similar feature?

@Simpletivity 4 года назад

You can achieve this by applying a label rule for these types of emails. See this video for more details: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CuTJRvjYzlQ.html

Boomerang: if original email sent with an attachment, will the reply lose the attachment? I have the same issue in Outlook when running cleanup.

@jcmclovin77388 3 года назад

AtAssist: other online calender tools always present an up to date availability; does atassist present a static choice of time? If something else gets scheduled over the original times offered before the receiver selects a time, then what?

@zinkerpants77 3 года назад

??If you use assistant to set up times for a meeting - and you are sending to 2 different people for 2 different meetings but you sen dthe same times to both . onces one person selects a time will it then block off the time for the person who got to the email last and wants the same time as the first?

@dairave 2 года назад

@Simpletivity Could you please update the Add-Ons links, only the first link works now 🤷‍♂️🍻

@MS-yh4jx 6 лет назад

Thank you for your video. I really find them enjoyable and informative. They are very easy to view and a positive entrance to software that I never knew existed. I tried assisstant.to. It would be a great extension for me to use every day. Unfortunately, when I tried to login I was in a continuous loop. I could not get past the login screen. Contacted Marshall at Customer Support at Cirrus Insight . After several emails he suggested that we "E meet" using assistant.to. Got his email with his available time but could not select a time because I was just looping around the link. Before and after, I contacted Marshall, I uninstalled and reinstalled assistant.to and got the same thing. I gave up. If I had so much trouble with the extension and no resolution, I was not able to share this extension with others. not sure if I am the only one with this problem. I've given up.

@Simpletivity 6 лет назад

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with this extension. I haven't heard about such a loop problem before but I hope that it can be resolved for you soon.

@kthfzc9923 4 года назад

Sir, where can I get boomerang set up. Kindly help.

@kcsecurity439 4 года назад

Question about Assistant.to: what if you email someone a handful of options and they are taking a few days to choose. Meanwhile, you are eagerly awaiting their selection so that you can know how you will be filling up those remaining unchosen time slots. Let's say you end up needing to utilize one of those unchosen time slots for another event before the first person chooses--does this automatically update in the first email you sent or do you have to manually send the first person another email saying, "abc time slot will no longer work for me, please do not choose that one."

@Simpletivity 4 года назад

Great question. The receiver of your email will be notified that that spot is no longer available if they choose that particular time slot. Since Assistant.to connects to your calendar, it will never double book time slots.

@whatsupfriends3284 4 года назад

Hi, It was very informative video. I am not able to find the link from where I can download assistant.to extension. I went to their website but didnt find it. Can you help please :)

@Simpletivity 4 года назад

Assistant.to has since been acquired. But you can still get this functionality from the following website: www.cirrusinsight.com/

@michaelseymour5465 4 года назад

If you add an event to your calendar after sending someone an Assistant.to meeting invite and that meeting invite gets scheduled at the same time as your event, will you get an alert of some kind that warns you of two overlapping events?

@Simpletivity 4 года назад

Assistant.to syncs with your calendar so it will prevent double-bookings. i.e. if the receiver selects a time slot that is no longer available, they will receive such a message.

@adilshoukat 5 лет назад

What about the security? Installing boomerang from their website, isn't it a security risk? It asks for access of read / write emails. And emails can have sensitive information. How safe is it, to enable a third-party to be able to read all your emails?

@Simpletivity 5 лет назад

Great question. It's true, that most add-ons will require full access to your email account. I recommend doing your research, read reviews, and decide if you wish to grant this type of access.

This tool is handy if you want an email, for example, to go out on Wednesday... but your drafting your email on Monday (maybe you're going to be out of the office on Wednesday). Say for a one day sale on Wednesday... or you're spacing your emails out so the don't get them all on one day... or you want them to get a reminder email about an event for Thursday.
