Create Contact Groups in Gmail

If you send email or event invites to the same people all the time, create a contact group for them.

The next time you compose a message, send email to that contact group to reach everyone at once.

You can use the same contact group to schedule Google Calendar meetings.

Send an email to everyone in your company
Send an email to a specific team of people
Send an email to everyone in your BNI chapter
