Tools that fit

Services

Google Sheets : Extract URLs from spreadsheet column

Google Drive : Store captured screenshots and trigger workflow

Gmail : Send notification email with folder link

api

HTTP Request : Call ScreenshotOne API to capture images

Watch out for

ScreenshotOne API calls can be slow so implement a small delay between requests to avoid hitting rate limits.
Large image files may exceed Gmail attachment size limits so consider uploading images directly to Drive and sharing the link instead of attaching them.
Invalid or malformed URLs in the spreadsheet will cause the HTTP request to fail so add input validation before making the API call.
Google Drive folder permissions might prevent the automation service account from saving files so ensure the service account has editor access to the target folder.
