Get the most out of email with these Chrome extensions and add-ons for email marketing and personal productivity.
Do you want to reach your target audience? Send messages straight to their inboxes.
Email marketing continues to be a preferred channel for delivering value and promotions to customers. It must work well, because brands consistently increase email marketing spend each year.
But it’s time-consuming to find prospect emails and create messages from scratch. Thankfully, there are numerous tools you can use to make your email marketing easier.
Here are the top Chrome email extensions to help you draft emails faster, monitor email metrics, and collaborate with teams.
Gmail is the best-preferred email client after Apple Mail. But it’s primarily built for one-on-one communication—which is counterintuitive for workspaces that function through collaboration.
Here’s a list of the best Chrome email extensions that make managing emails and collaboration easier:
Whether you’re using emails to build a sales funnel or to follow up on deadlines with a colleague, drafting emails takes time. Jasper is an AI content generator tool that can create original content for all kinds of emails.
Adding the Jasper extension to your Chrome browser gives you ready-to-use email templates that bring your email marketing strategy to life in a couple of clicks.
But there’s no point in sending a perfectly crafted email if the subject line doesn’t catch your audience’s attention—or worse, it’s spammy. So Jasper also has an email subject line template for creating eye-catching subject lines that get your emails opened.
Using brief text inputs, you can let Jasper know what your email is about and the tone of voice you’d like to use. Then you can choose from multiple message body and subject line ideas to decide which ones will best speak to your target audience.
Jasper starts at $39 per month for the Creator plan with the option to upgrade to Teams or Business. There is also a free 7-day trial.

There’s a reason generic emails have such low response rates—they feel inauthentic. When recipients don’t feel like an email was intended just for them, they are less likely to engage with it. In fact, personalizing a cold email outreach can take response rates from 7% to 17%.
