How to Get the Gold Price by Email Every Day
Updated September 1, 2026
Plenty of people hold a little gold and simply want to know what it's worth this morning — without opening a trading app, without charts, without ads for leveraged products.
One quiet email a day does the job. Here's how to get one.
The do-it-yourself options
Broker and bullion apps offer price alerts, but they trigger on thresholds you have to pick, and they arrive as phone pushes designed to make you trade. Many also require an account with money in it before alerts unlock.
The spreadsheet trick — a Google Sheet pulling a gold price API, plus a script that emails you daily — genuinely works and costs nothing. It also means writing and babysitting a script, which is a strange price for one number a day.
Financial newsletters mention gold, but you'll read four paragraphs of market commentary to find it.
The one-sentence way
Tell MailMeWhen what you want in your own words — which market, which currency, what counts as 'worth mentioning' — and it arrives as a short daily letter. No app, no account.
First 7 days free with no payment details; then $5/month, stopping by itself if you don't subscribe. Every letter carries a one-reply stop link.
Good to know
You can ask for the price in any currency — per ounce, per gram — and ask for a special note when the day's move is large. The sentence is the configuration.
Prices come from public market data and are for reference; confirm with your dealer before buying or selling.
Try it — hand us this sentence:
Mail me the gold price every morning, in dollars per ounce, and flag it if it moved more than 1%.
