How to Use Propel's Gmail Plugin: Sending Options

Propel's Gmail plugin is designed to streamline your PR tasks and help you connect with journalists at the right time.

Watch our video guide for a clear, step-by-step explanation:


  1. Follow Up Reminder
    Set a reminder to follow up with journalists who haven’t responded. Just choose when you’d like to be reminded—so you never miss a second chance.
  2. PitchBooster
    Propel analyzes journalist engagement patterns and automatically sends your pitch at the most optimal time, improving your chances of getting a response.
  3. Normal Send
    Sends your email immediately. Best for quick one-off messages or when timing is critical.
  4. Schedule Send
    Use this when you want your email to go out at a specific future date and time—even if you’re offline. Found within the Normal Send option.
  5. Send Mail Merge
    Create personalized emails for multiple recipients in one go. Each message feels 1:1 without revealing other recipients.
  6. Schedule Mail Merge
    Plan your personalized bulk outreach in advance. Great for coordinating across time zones or scheduling during peak engagement hours.
  7. Generate Drafts
    Want to review everything before hitting send? This option creates individual drafts for each contact, giving you full control to personalize before dispatch.

These options help you pitch smarter, faster, and more effectively—ensuring your message reaches the right person at the right time.
