Getting your team to adopt a new tool can be difficult. Use these email messaging tools to support people in your organization during the transition to Google Meet.
Step 1: Plan adoption goals & tracking
- Set your adoption goals and plan ahead for goal and feedback tracking.
- Decide who should send the emails.
- Determine if you need to designate or set up an email alias or website for internal feedback on Meet.
Step 2: Schedule messaging
We suggest the following schedule to keep up momentum and interest during the transition to Meet:
- Email 1
- Email 2 (the day after Email 1)
- Email 3 (one week after Email 2)
- Email 4 (one week after Email 3)
Step 3: Customize email templates for your organization
Copy and paste the following email templates into an editing tool, such as Google Docs. Revise them as needed to fit the voice and style of your organization. Change all parts in red. Then, send the emails following the suggested schedule to help your users get familiar with Meet.

Email 1: Company-wide announcement encouraging the transition to MeetSubject: Get started with Google Meet: Our new meetings tool
Hi team:
I’m happy to announce that we’re introducing Google Meet, a new meetings tool to help you host and attend meetings from anywhere. We launched Google Workspace to improve collaboration and transform the way we work. Meet will help us get the most out of our investment in Google Workspace, while we significantly improve the way we work across the company and with our partners and customers.
I think you’ll love using Meet. You can join meetings with a single click without having to download any software. You can also use Meet with tools you already use, such as Gmail and Google Calendar.
We recognize that change can be hard, so we want to make it as easy as possible for you to get started with Meet. In the coming weeks, you’ll receive a few emails on how to make the most of Meet and its features. But don’t wait for us—if you want to learn more or get started now, visit the Google Workspace Learning Center.
We’re so excited about Meet that we’ve set an adoption goal of [Insert adoption goal, such as have 90% of company using Meet for meetings by month/day]. Give it a try today and help us meet our goal.
Happy meeting,
