Autonomous email outreach with Gmail SMTP and Node.js

Описание и применение

Автоматизация холодных писем через Gmail SMTP с помощью Node.js, включая настройку проекта, отправку персонализированных HTML‑сообщений и соблюдение лимитов отправки.

Задача

Cold email outreach is tedious and time‑consuming.

Результат

The script sends personalized emails through Gmail SMTP, reducing manual effort and enabling scaling with rate limiting.

Рабочий процесс

• Create project directory and init npm
• Install nodemailer and dotenv
• Create .env with GMAIL_USER and GMAIL_PASSWORD (App Password)
• Write index.js: load env, create transporter, define sendEmail, loop over recipients, send personalized HTML
• Run node index.js
• Add optional Handlebars for dynamic templates
• Implement rate limiting to avoid Gmail limits

Доказательства

I used to spend hours crafting personalized emails, copying and pasting, and generally feeling like a robot pretending to be a human.

Be aware of Gmail's sending limits. Sending too many emails too quickly can get your account flagged or even blocked.
