Learning Outcomes
1\. Connect Gmail and Sheets to ChatGPT Work
Learn to connect Gmail and Google Sheets to ChatGPT Work so your agent can read, draft, and log.
2\. Build an agent that writes your draft emails
Learn to write the agent instructions that turn a contact list into personalized Gmail drafts.
3\. Label and separate drafts inside Gmail
Learn to have the agent label every draft in Gmail so outreach stays separate from your real inbox.
4\. Schedule daily sends that stay out of spam
Learn to send drafts on a daily schedule in small batches so Gmail does not flag your outreach.
5\. Update your CRM in Google Sheets automatically
Learn to log every send, reply, and follow up date back into your Google Sheets CRM without typing.
Why This Topic Matters
Outreach is the part of your job that never scales. Email one at a time and you run out of hours. An agent that drafts in Gmail, labels the queue, sends daily, and logs to Sheets gives you a working outreach system you own. You leave able to wire an agent into the apps you already use every day, which is the skill that makes AI actually pay off at work.

What should your valuation be? How do you find the right investors, get meetings, and actually close your round? Join Spring and Alberta Ecotrust during Calgary Innovation Week for a candid conversation about fundraising, led by Keith Ippel and Shantanu Mehta from Spring's investment team. We'll cover: Structuring your round: How much to raise, how to think about valuation, and what investors expect at different stages Finding investors: Building your target list, getting warm introductions, and approaching investors who are actually a fit Pitching investors: What makes a compelling pitch, what investors look for, and how to prepare for the questions that follow Behind the scenes: How VCs evaluate opportunities, what happens after your first meeting, and the common mistakes that can derail a raise About Spring Spring is an early-stage VC fund (see here) and accelerator backing ambitious founders in climate, health, and technology.
