Create Email and Send to Recipient Named in Google Sheets Cell

I have data going to a Google Sheet spreadsheet, including one cell which has an email address.

When the Sheets data changes, I would like to create an email and send it to the email address listed in that cell.

When I do Sheets-to-Gmail Zap, I cannot identify the specific cell that contains the email address in the Gmail “to” zap.

How do I go about accomplishing this?

Thanks! I just figured out what the issue was - I had many blank cells, which was limiting the triggers I could use for the zap.

 

Once I reorganized the Google Sheets Spreadsheet correctly, and had all cells with information, the trigger options opened up and I was able to use an email trigger input as the “to” line for the zap.

 

Thanks!
