Google Sheets and Meta Ads
Send every new email to a spreadsheet, and turn your list into an ad audience.
On Business, every email you collect can go straight into a Google Sheet, and your list can become a Meta Ads audience. Both are on the Emails page.
Google Sheets
- 1On Emails, press Connect Google Sheets (admins) and sign in with Google.
- 2DMFast makes a spreadsheet called DMFast emails in your Google Drive and adds every email collected so far, oldest first.
- 3From then on, each new email is added about a minute after it arrives. Press Add new rows now if you can't wait.
| Column | What's in it |
|---|---|
| Date | When they shared it, in your time zone |
| Their email | |
| Name | The name they typed, or their Instagram name |
| Username | Their @handle, for emails from DMs |
| Phone | From store checkouts that ask for one |
| From | Auto-reply: Free guide, AI assistant, Bio page: /u/yourname, Bought: Preset pack… |
| Account | Which of your accounts it came through |
- DMFast can open only the spreadsheet it made, nothing else in your Drive (Google's “drive.file” permission).
- Sort, filter or add your own columns to the right. Keep the tab called Emails: DMFast adds rows there. Text goes in exactly as typed, so nothing anyone types can run as a formula.
- If the spreadsheet is deleted or Google access is removed, the panel says so and rows wait. Connect again carries on in the same spreadsheet when it still exists, or makes a new one with everything.
- Turn off stops the sync and removes DMFast's Google access. The spreadsheet stays yours.
Meta Ads audience
Download for Meta Ads gives a customer-list file for this account's emails: one row per person, with their phone and name when they typed them.
- 1In Meta Ads Manager, open Audiences → Create audience → Custom audience → Customer list.
- 2Upload the file. Ads Manager hashes the emails and phone numbers in your browser before they leave it, and matches them to people.
- 3Use the audience in an ad set to reach your list on Instagram and Facebook, or make a Lookalike audience from it to find people like them.
To reach everyone who commented or messaged, emails or not, make a custom audience with Instagram account as the source instead. It doesn't need a file. See Messages and emails for where emails come from.
