Mailchimp is a popular email service provider for small businesses. Google Sheets is popular with small businesses, digital marketers and other online folks. So let’s connect the two to build a Mailchimp data analysis tool in Google Sheets!

Recently I needed to extract all of the email addresses for the hundreds of messages under this label. Super tedious to do manually, but thankfully there’s a much quicker way using Apps Script.

In this post, we’ll see how to setup a Google Sheet to extract all the email address for a specific Gmail label. I’ll share the code and walk through it with you. Continue reading How To Extract Email Addresses Tagged With A Specific Gmail Label
