Issues w/ Gmail Node

Describe the problem/error/question

I am using the Gmail node connected to Google Sheets. Whenever someone doesn’t reply to my email, I send a follow-up email in the same thread. However, when I send a follow-up email, the N8N reply Gmail node adds my email address in the “To” field instead of just including the recipient.

I have tried adding the person in the “Reply-To” field, but it still sends the email to both me and the person.

I am sharing an example below.

I think that’s because you are the original sender.

So reply to sender will send to you again directly.

That feature is for others sends email to you. And you can reply to them since they are the sender.

Maybe try with reply thread?
