Hi I’m trying to create an automation where there is a google sheet of a patients details and gmail is able to collect the details and formulate an email to them as an appointment reminder. However, the only problem is the Gmail module because for som reason even though I have clearly added an email tag it won’t work. Would appreciate any help, thanks.

Hello @Taha_Kaderbhai Welcome to the community!

I guess you just to disable the map option on right side of input field for email address. As map enables the input of array of email addresses. If you want to just send email to 1 email address you just need to disable it and then add it. It will work.

Let me know if you need more help!

Best,  
@Prem_Patel

Hi Prem,  
I think the issue is when connecting the google sheets watch new rows to gmail. The image shows whats happening, the data is inputted correctly in google sheets.

@Taha_Kaderbhai Map Option has completely different functionality. The data you are getting from sheet is correct but your mapping method is incorrect, when you enable map option the field expects array of email address. in your case just map it like i shown in the screenshot below.

**Disable the “Map” Option** , Map email in email address 1 field.

If you do this correctly it will work.

For more mapping and module settings related explanation read this article: [Module settings - Help Center](https://help.make.com/module-settings#vwUIF)
