Send a Gmail message when you press the Button widget
How this automation works
Automatically send an email from your Gmail account to up to twenty recipients when Posterity confirms your death. This ensures your chosen contacts are informed privately and promptly without manual action. It’s a thoughtful way to deliver important messages or updates when you’re no longer able to. Customize the message to fit your tone.
