Inserting an email draft building block into a blank Google Doc

Wouldn’t it be great if you and your team could work on an important email together, in one place, without the tedious cycle of drafting, asking for feedback, consolidating feedback and sending the next draft, over and over?

Now you can

  • Mention people in the recipient fields using the @ menu, without having to remember their email addresses.
  • Collaborate on the message body using comments and suggestions.
  • Send directly from Docs by clicking the button shown alongside an email draft.

How to work with email drafts in Google Docs

  1. On your computer, open a Google Doc.
  2. At the top left, click Insert > Building blocks > Email draft.
    • You can also type “@email” in the doc and press Enter.
  3. To add recipients in the “To” field, type “@” and search your contacts, or type out email addresses.
  4. Add a subject line, write the email body and format your draft.
    • Tip: you can collaborate with others in your doc to write the email draft.
