The code is in the node.\n\n \n\n**Steps 4&5**\n\n**IS EMAIL THERE?**\nThis checks the email from Gmail against your unsubscribe sheet to ensure it isn't already there. The code is in the node. This is one way of doing the checks, the other simple way is using the _IF_ node as was used in the _CHECK MAIN SHEET_ node.\n\n"
