Eleven Ways to Use Boomerang with gMail


Wouldn’t it be awesome to have a personal assistant who reminds you to follow up with others when you send them an email but they don’t respond? That’s just one of the amazing features of Boomerang.

Boomerang expands the power of Cru Mail to make it even more useful. Here are four familiar scenarios:

MPD Appointment:

  • You email for an MPD appointment, planning to follow up with a call before Sunday if they haven’t replied.
  • With Boomerang you can set up a reminder for Saturday, BUT ONLY if they haven’t yet replied to your email.

Staff Team Business:

  • You email your staff team to reply back to you with names of who they invited to your Fund Development banquet.
  • If your team hasn’t responded by Monday, you’ll get a “boomerang” reminder to follow up with them.

Family Reminders:

  • On your way to work you email your son to sign up for an SAT Prep Class at school today.
  • You “boomerang” the email so it pops back into your inbox at 5pm so you remember to talk with him after dinner.

Boomerang also allows you to schedule your emails:

  • On Sunday night, you look over your calendar and send emails to each person you’ll meet that next week as a reminder.
  • At the same time you schedule a follow up message to send automatically on the morning of your appointment reminding them of the meeting and asking them to reply if they need to cancel.

With Boomerang you track if others open your email or click links in your email (just like MailChimp) to measure if the content of your email is connecting with your readers.
