New Custom Widget: Batch Email Composer with BCC Management

Showcase
1

Hello Grist Community! :wave:

I’ve developed a custom widget for batch email composition that I’d like to share. It’s particularly useful when you need to send the same email to multiple contacts while maintaining privacy through BCC.

Features:

  • Compose emails to multiple recipients using BCC
  • Manage recipients (remove/restore contacts)
  • Add manual recipients
  • Opens in your default email client for review and sending

Try it out:

I hope this widget proves helpful for your needs!

Hi Amandine

I tried your demo, and it worked fine - really useful widget.

I then set up a custom widget by your recommended method. Mac Studio running OS 15.7.2; browsers Opera and Safari. In both browsers I encounter two problems: widget is asking for the email address mapping, when is is already mapped; and when I click on Compose, nothing happens. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
