Gandalf, The Gmailer
Send bulk highly personalized emails using Gmail, Google Sheets/Excel, and the mystical Gandalf.
Gandalf helps you send highly personalized Gmail messages (with attachment) from a simple 5‑step side‑panel flow; secure, friendly, and paced to reduce spam flags with a gentle delay between sends.
❧Why you’ll love it:
• Gandalf guides you through Gmailoria in fulfilling your quest of contacting souls.
• One‑click Sign‑In, Swift Switch: start with your profile account in a tap, or pick a different one when you need to.
• Personalization at scale: unlimited tags from your sheet (e.g., {Name}, {Company}) for human, 1:1‑feeling outreach, add tags with one click.
• Preview pane: instantly see how subject and body render for the first recipient before sending, so you catch placeholder or tone issues early.
• Attachment friendly: add one file (CV, Portfolio etc.) that’s sent with every email.
• Smart pacing: a gentle, jittered delay between sends to reduce “bot” patterns and rate spikes.
• Clear progress: live x/y counter, success/failed tallies, and a progress bar you can trust.
• Side panel workflow: compose, launch, and monitor without losing focus—keep browsing while Gandalf does the work.
• Designed with safety in mind: sign in once per session; sending happens locally with minimal permissions, say no no to hackers.
❧5‑step magic
1) Sign in
2) Import Excel/Sheet
3) Write subject and body
4) Add an attachment (optional)
5) Send with gentle pacing
❧Daily sending guidance
• Personal Gmail: up to 500/day
• Google Workspace: up to 2000/day
• Always respect Gmail policies and your domain’s reputation.
❧Best results checklist (important)
• Use rich personalization and write like a human; avoid generic, repetitive templates.
• This is ideal for personal use (e.g., internship/job outreach); it does not replace Mailchimp/Brevo/MailerLite for organizations.
• Warm up your email: start small and ramp gradually over weeks, especially on new or dormant accounts.
• Curate your list: remove bad addresses and low‑intent contacts to avoid bounces and negative signals.
❧Disclaimer:
The delay helps but is not a silver bullet. Deliverability depends on list quality, content, domain reputation, and respectful volumes.
Kindly refer to the privacy-policy before use.
Why Gandalf Requests Access to Your Google Account
Gandalf connects securely to your Gmail account through Google’s official OAuth 2.0 system to help you send personalized emails that you compose yourself. The extension only requests the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send scope, which gives it permission to send emails on your behalf—nothing more.
How Gandalf Uses Your Data
Email Sending – Gandalf uses your granted Gmail access strictly to deliver messages that you initiate from the extension.
Personalization – Imported contact lists (Excel or Sheets) are processed locally in your browser to personalize each email before sending. These files are never uploaded to external servers.
Attachments – If you attach a file, it is encoded and sent directly to Gmail’s API with each message; it is not stored or transmitted elsewhere.
Sign‑in and Tokens – Gandalf uses Google OAuth tokens to authenticate your Gmail session. These tokens live only in your browser’s background memory and are cleared automatically when you sign out or restart Chrome.
No Storage or Tracking – Gandalf does not store, transfer, or sell any user data. All activity happens locally within the extension environment.
Data We Never Access
Inbox contents, email history, or contacts outside your imported sheet.
Google Drive, Calendar, or other services.
Analytics, tracking, or marketing identifiers.
