GPT for Google Sheets Functions for Email Marketing

First, the basics of how it works. To ask GPT to perform a function, it accepts the following syntax (statements):

=GPT([prompt], [value], [temperature], [max_tokens], [model])

And this is the input accepted for each parameter (definition):

• prompt: This parameter shouldn't be left empty. You can populate it with text, a cell, or a range of cells to tell GPT to do something.

• value (optional): This accepts text, a cell, or cell range values to which you want the prompt to apply.

• temperature (optional): This controls the creativity level and accepts a number between 0 and 1.

• max_tokens (optional): Allows you to control the number of tokens used for each request. The higher the number, the longer and more detailed the text. It accepts a number between 0 and the model limit.

• model (optional): You can specify the base model to perform the function. For example, gpt-4 is the default.

We'll stick to populating the prompt and value parameters in these examples for simplicity and to get a general idea of using the free version of GPT for Google Sheets.

Now, let's get stuck in!

GPT function 

​​The GPT function is the primary and most straightforward function that can be used to output an answer. It's ideal for creating eye-catching taglines and subject lines to market your brand and for more effective prospecting emails.

Example

Let's say you wanted a subject line to send emails about your organic foods business; in any cell, enter the following prompt:

=GPT(“Write an email subject line for an organic foods store”). Then hit Enter for a response. We got:

“Fresh and Organic: Stock up on Healthy Goodness at Our Store!”

Specific email subject line

For a more specific prompt, you can specify the tone and country of the shop, etc., 

In any cell type: =GPT(, highlight the data range to provide the value. Close the brackets, then hit Enter. 

We entered the following details:

• Task: Write an email subject line

• Topic: organic health foods

• Tone: Casual

• Make it funny.

• Country: Australia

• Length: Under 20 words

And we got: "Get your daily dose of greens and giggles at our organic store!"

GPT_LIST

In addition to generating a list of several taglines, the GPT_LIST function can extract and classify data for audience segmentation purposes.

Example:

Let's say you had a large chunk of text that included your subscriber names and their country, and you only wanted to extract the names.

In any cell type =GPT_LIST(, highlight or enter the cell range with the text, then add a comma (,). Type "only subscriber names," close the brackets, and hit Enter. Your syntax would look similar to this:

=GPT_LIST(A2, "only subscriber names")

We received a complete list of subscriber names included in the text.

GPT_TABLE

The GPT_Table is ideal for generating data for marketing research, and you can specify the number of columns and headings in the prompt.

Example:

Going back to our organic foods business, let's say we wanted a list of the most popular vegetables, including the country, so we know the countries to target and the type of foods to promote in our prospecting campaigns.

In any cell type =GPT_Table("top 20 most eaten vegetables and their country"). Then hit Enter.

We received a table with Country and Vegetable columns and 20 entries.
