coedit - Collab on Gmail drafts
coedit is a Chrome extension that allows you to instantly add collaborators to your email drafts in Gmail and Google Workspace. With coedit, you can easily get help writing, feedback, or approval to send your emails.
The main feature of coedit is its instant collaboration capability. By clicking the coedit button in your Gmail draft window, an invite link is created and copied to your clipboard. You can then send this link to anyone you want to coauthor your draft with you, whether it's through messaging platforms or Slack. Your coeditors can open the link on any device and instantly collaborate with you in real-time, without the need for them to create accounts or login.
This extension is perfect for situations where you need to say the right thing the first time and want your team's help in getting the communication clear without emailing edits back and forth. It offers a faster alternative to creating and sharing documents, while still providing the benefits of real-time collaboration.
It's important to note that coedit will never access your inbox, only the draft text when you push the coedit button. The free beta version of this extension is intended for non-commercial use only. To use coedit, all you need is a Google account and collaborators to help you write.
