Send a Gmail update when a Google Sheets issue is marked resolved

Send a Gmail update when a Google Sheets issue is marked resolved

Introduction

Track support issues in Google Sheets and keep customers informed automatically. When an issue is updated to solved, this workflow sends a resolution email via Gmail and then updates the sheet to record that the email was sent.

Benefits

  • Automatically notifies customers as soon as their issue is resolved
  • Prevents duplicate emails by checking an “is mail sent?” flag before sending
  • Keeps your Google Sheets tracker accurate by writing back the sent status
  • Saves time for support teams by eliminating repetitive follow-ups

Trigger Event

When a row is added or updated in Google Sheets (your issue tracker sheet).

Actions

  1. Check the issue status and email flag: If the row’s status is solved and is mail sent? is no, continue.
  2. Send the resolution email (Gmail): Email the requester using the email value from the row, with a ready-to-send “issue resolved” message.
  3. Update the same Google Sheets row: Mark is mail sent? as sent (so the workflow won’t email again for the same resolved issue).
  4. If conditions aren’t met: The workflow skips sending and makes no changes.
