How to Get the Gold Price by Email Every Day

There are a few ways to get the gold price by email every day: a price alert from a broker or bullion app, a Google Sheet with a gold price API and a mail script, a financial newsletter, or one sentence handed to MailMeWhen, which needs no account or app.

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.

Ways to get the gold price by email every day

  1. Broker and bullion apps: they 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Financial newsletters: they mention gold, but you'll read four paragraphs of market commentary to find it.

Good to know about a daily gold-price email

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%.

Common questions

Which gold price does the daily email report?

The spot price of gold from public market data, in the currency and unit you ask for — dollars per ounce, euros per gram, and so on. It is for reference: dealers quote their own buying and selling prices, so confirm with yours before you trade.

What time does the gold-price email arrive?

Once a day, at the rhythm you ask for — 'every morning' is enough, or name an hour and your time zone if you prefer. The first letter arrives within 24 hours of your request, because a real person reads it first; after that it comes daily.

Can I get an email only when gold crosses a certain price instead of every day?

Yes. Write the line instead of the rhythm — name the price and the currency — and the letters stop being daily: you hear nothing until gold crosses it, apart from one letter within 24 hours confirming what is being watched. Each request is its own subscription, so a daily price and a crossing alert can run side by side.
