How To Use Gmail Adds Sticky Notes To Your Gmail Account


In recent years, a handful of developers have attempted to add note-taking capabilities to Gmail, the idea being to let you attach custom, personalized information to any given message. For example, suppose you get a sales inquiry from a potential customer. You could attach a note with details on when you replied, what you said, how you plan to follow up, and so on. Likewise, if the boss emails you about an important project, you could embed related information inside that email rather than keeping it someplace separate. Heck, maybe you just need to remind yourself who the sender is, like if it's someone you met at a conference. The possibilities are fairly endless.

Sticky Notes is a very useful feature in Gmail. For users who work on multiple computers. Sticky Notes are one of the best reminder tools for both physical and digital worlds. It helps you organize all your to-do list in a single place and remind you to do the tasks on time. Windows has a default sticky notes app and other operating systems have plenty of sticky notes applications available. Gmail is one of the most used email services on the Internet. It doesn’t have a to-do list managing add-on or sticky notes app by default. The new “Notes for Gmail” extension for Chrome can bring that feature to your Gmail account.
