Can i schedule mail merge in outlook 2013

Unfortunately, Outlook 2013 does not have a built-in mail merge feature. Mail merge is a feature typically found in Microsoft Word, not Outlook.

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 "Send to" feature to send the merged documents as emails. Here's how:
    • Create a Word document with a mail merge template.
    • Go to "File" > "Save As" and choose "Word Document" as the file type.
    • In Outlook, select the contacts you want to send the email to.
    • Right-click on the selected contacts and choose "Send to" > "Mail Merge" (this option might not be available by default, so you may need to add it to the context menu).
    • Choose the Word document you created as the mail merge template.
  2. Use a third-party add-in: There are several third-party add-ins available that can help you schedule mail merges in Outlook 2013. Some popular options include:
    • Mail Merge for Outlook (by Add-in Express)
    • Outlook Mail Merge (by OutlookTools)
    • Merge for Outlook (by MergeSoft)
    • These add-ins can help you create and schedule mail merges directly within Outlook.
  3. Use a scripting solution: You can also use VBA scripting to create a mail merge solution in Outlook 2013. This requires some programming knowledge, but it can be a powerful way to automate tasks.

Keep in mind that these workarounds may have limitations compared to a native mail merge feature. If you need advanced mail merge capabilities, you may want to consider upgrading to a newer version of Outlook or using a dedicated mail merge tool.
