Sending an email to multiple recipients will be a top priority if you work in sales or marketing or manage a large team.
In most cases, you have to personalize these emails to include specific attachments for each receiver. To achieve this, you must set up an email marketing tool, which requires technical knowledge and can be expensive. However, there are faster and cheaper ways to achieve the same results.
- You can email multiple receipts individually in Gmail manually with the BCC or Multi-Send feature.
- Using an automation tool allows you to email multiple recipients individually without limits.
In this article, we show you the step-by-step process of emailing multiple recipients without the technical stress associated with email marketing tools. You will also learn how to achieve the same results using an automation tool like Sheetgo in regular Gmail faster and automatically.

How to Send an Email to Multiple Recipients Individually in Gmail
You can send mass emails to contacts on a list individually in Gmail using the BCC feature. BCC in emails stands for “Blind Carbon Copy,” an advanced form of Carbon Copy “CC” that allows you to email multiple contacts without them seeing the email address of other recipients. Unlike CC, this process offers some privacy to bulk emails. It also helps you avoid a situation where a recipient tries to reply to your messages but sends them to everyone on the list.
3 Simple Steps to Send Emails to Multiple Recipients with BCC Feature?
Here are six steps to follow when sending emails with BCC in Gmail.
1: Open your Gmail account in your browser and click the “Compose” button in the top left corner of your screen.
2: Tap on the “BCC,” and it will display a text entry field. Enter the recipient’s email addresses, all separated by a comma. If you want to add a return address, include the email in the ‘To:” field. The return email is where all responses from the email BCC are sent.
3: Write your email subject text message, add any attachments, and click “send.”
This process is fast and easy, but it doesn’t allow personalization, and your messages could end up in the recipient’s spam folder.
How to Send an Email to Multiple Recipients Individually without BCC
In November 2022, Gmail rolled out a multi-send feature now known as mail merge to subscribers on the Google Workplace plan. This feature allows you to send a unique copy of your message to each recipient individually. With multi-send, you can add up to 1500 emails in the “To” field when creating a new email or link a spreadsheet containing information of recipients’ contact information.
How to Send an Email to Multiple Recipients Using the Mail Merge Feature without Linking to a Spreadsheet
Follow these steps to email multiple receivers using the Mail Merge feature without linking to a spreadsheet

TIP: You can skip entering individual emails by grouping recipients under a label in Google Contacts. You can add the label to the “To:” field in Gmail, and the grouped recipients will automatically populate.
Add Recipients to Gmail Mail Merge from Spreadsheets
You can automatically add recipients to your message by linking to a spreadsheet containing their information relevant to your campaign and personalization like first name, last name, email address, etc. Here is how it works
1: Open Gmail on your computer browser
2: Click the “compose button” at the top or open the existing draft
3: Locate the “To:” field and click on the Use mail merge option

5: Select a spreadsheet and click the link and filter
6: Click on finish to add the spreadsheet to the “To:” field
7: In your message, enter “@” and select the respective merge tag
