Can i do a mail merge in outlook 365 online

Unfortunately, Outlook 365 online does not have a built-in mail merge feature like Outlook desktop or Outlook 2016 and earlier versions. However, there are a few workarounds you can use to achieve similar results:

1. Use Microsoft Word's Mail Merge feature: You can create a Word document with a mail merge template, and then use Outlook's "Insert" feature to insert the Word document into an email. This way, you can use Word's mail merge feature to populate the email with data from a CSV file or an Excel spreadsheet. Here's a step-by-step guide:
   • Create a new Word document and set up a mail merge template.
   • Save the Word document as a template (.dotx file).
   • In Outlook, create a new email and insert the Word document using the "Insert" feature.
   • Use the "Mail Merge" feature in Word to populate the email with data from a CSV file or Excel spreadsheet.
2. Use a third-party add-in: There are several third-party add-ins available that can provide mail merge functionality in Outlook 365 online. Some popular options include:
   • Mail Merge for Outlook (by CloudHQ): This add-in allows you to create and send personalized emails using a mail merge template.
   • Outlook Mail Merge (by MergeSoft): This add-in provides a simple and intuitive way to create and send personalized emails using a mail merge template.
   • Merge for Outlook (by MergeSoft): This add-in allows you to merge data from a CSV file or Excel spreadsheet into an email.
3. Use a script or macro: If you're comfortable with programming, you can use a script or macro to automate the mail merge process in Outlook 365 online. For example, you can use VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) to create a script that reads data from a CSV file or Excel spreadsheet and populates an email with the data.

Keep in mind that these workarounds may require some technical expertise and setup, but they can help you achieve similar results to a traditional mail merge feature.
