Hi Alex,
I’m a student exploring investment banking and came across your work at Northbridge Capital.
I’d love to hear about your path into the industry. Would you be open to a brief conversation?
Best,
Taylor

A recruiting list.
A real connection.
Coffee chats, alumni introductions, and internship outreach add up. Bring your list of bankers, investors, and finance alumni, then write a message that has a reason to reach each person.
- Personalize by name, firm, and shared school
- Keep separate profiles for different recruiting paths
- Attach your resume and review every introduction

Details from your spreadsheet. A message in your voice.
From a list of names
to your next conversation.
A little setup. A repeatable routine.
Here’s your first run through DraftMate.
Start with the Google Sheets template.
Make a copy of the entire template, including its built-in Apps Script. The script is required for the template to work. Follow the setup instructions in your copy, then add your contacts.

Copy the template. Add your people.
Use the Google Sheets template above, keeping its included Apps Script. Add your contacts, then paste your copy’s link into Contacts in DraftMate. Keep a header row and an Email column, with details like First Name, Company, and School.
Using CSV instead? Download a sampleFirst NameCompanyGenerateAlexNorthbridgeTRUEJordanHarbor AdvisoryTRUETip: a Generate column lets you choose which rows to include.

Write it once. Make it yours.
In Templates, write your subject and message. Type { or select a column to insert a contact detail. Create different versions, rotate them by company, or choose one for an individual.
Add a resume or another attachment when it fits your outreach.

Connect your inbox. Check the details.
Choose Gmail, a Microsoft account, or Classic Outlook on your Mac. In Review, inspect your recipients and their assigned templates before creating drafts.

Your drafts. Your final say.
Select Create drafts. Open the Drafts folder in your chosen email account, read each message, make any final edits, and send when you’re ready.
An active license and online verification are required to create drafts.

How template rotation works.
Write a few versions of your email and keep them active. In Templates → Rotate by, choose Company (the default) or another column. DraftMate cycles through your templates separately for each value in that column, following your contact list’s order.
With three templates, people at Northbridge get A, then B, then C. Harbor Advisory starts at A, and two people at Meridian Partners get A and B. Each company has its own cycle; a fourth person at Northbridge would get A again.
Every version still fills in that person’s details from your spreadsheet. Check the assigned template for each recipient on Review before creating drafts.
More rotation settingsExample: three active templates · Rotate by Company
| Contact | Company | Template |
|---|---|---|
| Alex | Northbridge | A |
| Jordan | Northbridge | B |
| Casey | Northbridge | C |
| Sam | Harbor Advisory | A |
| Riley | Meridian Partners | A |
| Taylor | Meridian Partners | B |
Northbridge: A → B → C. Harbor Advisory: A. Meridian Partners: A → B. Every company starts its own cycle.
Want one version for everyone?
Choose Rotate by: None, then select the template to use for everyone without a manual assignment.
Need a personal exception?
Assign a template to an individual in Review. Manual assignments don’t advance the automatic cycle. Turn on Use only when assigned manually to reserve a template for these exceptions.
What changes the assignments?
Only eligible recipients count. Rotation starts over whenever the list is built, so changing the contact order, templates, or assignments can change the results. Keep company names consistent: values must match, and blank values rotate together. Inactive templates are excluded.
Thoughtful outreach.
Less repetitive work.
The right version for each person.
Rotate your active templates within a company or another field. Assign a specific message to a contact when the introduction calls for something different.

Try sample values in your template, inspect your recipient list, and check the assigned messages. Keep the personal touches that make an introduction worth reading.

A few things
before you begin.
Does DraftMate send emails for me?
DraftMate creates drafts in the email account you choose. You open your Drafts folder, review the messages, and send them yourself. The website demo is illustrative and never connects to your email.
Which Macs and email accounts are supported?
The current Mac release targets Apple silicon (M-series chips). Connect Gmail or Google Workspace, Outlook.com or Microsoft 365, or use the Classic Outlook app on your Mac. The Classic Outlook option requires that app; direct Google and Microsoft connections do not. School or workplace policies may require administrator approval. Intel Mac and Windows builds are not currently available.
How do I install it?
Download the DMG, open it, and drag DraftMate into Applications. Open the app, sign in, and set up your contacts and templates. Current builds are not yet Apple Developer ID signed or notarized, so macOS may show a security warning. Check the release notes before installing an early-access build.
Do I need a license?
You can explore the app and prepare your workspace without an active license. Creating email drafts requires an active license and online verification. Buy a license for $12.99 USD as a one-time payment, plus applicable tax. It is tied to your DraftMate account and one Mac; contact support for a device transfer.
What should my spreadsheet look like?
For Google Sheets, make a copy of our template and keep its built-in Apps Script. The script is required for the template to work; follow the setup instructions in your copy. Keep column names in the first row and an Email column. Include details such as First Name, Company, and School, and use the same names in placeholders like {Company}. An optional Generate column accepts TRUE, YES, Y, or 1 for rows you want to include. Without that column, rows with valid email addresses are included. If you prefer CSV, download the sample CSV. Replace the fictional sample contacts with your own.
What access does the app need?
Google and Microsoft connections use their sign-in and consent screens. Google’s permission covers draft management and sending; Microsoft requests mailbox read/write access. DraftMate’s workflow only creates drafts. Classic Outlook uses local Mac automation. Email connections are saved on this device for your DraftMate account. The website does not request mailbox access or collect contact lists.
Where can I get help or check for updates?
In DraftMate, go to Settings → App updates to check for a newer build. You can also read the release notes on GitHub or email support. This site checks for the newest publicly published Apple-silicon DMG, including early-access prereleases.
