Can you create a mail merge from google contacts

Yes, you can create a mail merge from Google Contacts using a few different methods. Here are a few options:

Method 1: Using Google Sheets

  1. Export your Google Contacts to a Google Sheet by going to Contacts > More > Export > Google Sheets.
  2. Open the Google Sheet and select all the columns you want to use for your mail merge (e.g. name, email, address, etc.).
  3. Go to Tools > Create a new spreadsheet or open an existing one.
  4. In the new spreadsheet, create a new sheet for your mail merge.
  5. In the first row, create headers for each column you want to use (e.g. "Name", "Email", "Address", etc.).
  6. In the next rows, use the =importrange function to import the data from your Google Contacts sheet. For example: =importrange("your_contacts_sheet_name", "A1:B100") would import the first 100 rows of columns A and B from your contacts sheet.
  7. Use the =concatenate function to combine the data into a single string for each row. For example: =concatenate(A2, " ", B2) would combine the name and email into a single string.
  8. Use the =mailmerge function to send the mail merge. For example: =mailmerge("your_email_address", "Subject", "Body", "Name", "Email", "Address") would send an email to each contact with the subject, body, name, email, and address.

Method 2: Using Google Apps Script

  1. Open your Google Contacts sheet and go to Tools > Script editor.
  2. In the script editor, create a new script by clicking on the "Create" button.
  3. In the script, use the ContactsApp service to retrieve the contacts data. For example: var contacts = ContactsApp.getContacts();
  4. Loop through the contacts data and create a mail merge for each contact. For example: for (var i = 0; i < contacts.length; i++) { var contact = contacts[i]; var email = contact.getEmail(); var name = contact.getName(); // create mail merge code here }
  5. Use the GmailApp service to send the mail merge. For example: GmailApp.sendEmail(email, "Subject", "Body", "Name");
