Transform your Gmail workflow with fully customizable, one‑click buttons. Create buttons that insert rich, pre‑formatted text, links, HTML snippets, or GIFs into your emails—styled exactly how you want—then save, export, and reuse them across sessions.

How It Works
- Open the extension’s Options page.

Very useful extension, and works fine, but it currently lacks one important feature: rich text support for the templates. Besides, there is a kind of annoying issue regarding having to refresh the pages each time a new folder/label is selected, otherwise, customized reply buttons will not be shown. I already sent an email to the developer, commenting about these same issues, but regrettably got no replies so far.
