Gmail google sheets mail merge

A powerful combination!

You can use Gmail and Google Sheets to create a mail merge process that automates sending personalized emails to a list of recipients. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:

Prerequisites:

1. You have a Google Sheets document with a list of recipients and their corresponding data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
2. You have a Gmail account.
3. You have the Google Sheets add-on "Gmail Add-on" installed.

Step 1: Prepare your Google Sheets document

1. Create a new Google Sheets document or open an existing one.
2. Set up your sheet with the following columns:
   • Recipient's email address
   • Recipient's name
   • Any other relevant data you want to include in the email (e.g., company name, job title, etc.)
3. Make sure your sheet is organized and formatted correctly.

Step 2: Create a Gmail template

1. Go to your Gmail account and compose a new email.
2. Write the email body and include placeholders for the dynamic data you want to insert (e.g., {{name}}, {{email}}, etc.).
3. Use the "Insert template" feature to create a template from your email composition. This will save your email as a template that you can reuse.

Step 3: Connect Google Sheets to Gmail

1. Go back to your Google Sheets document and click on the "Tools" menu.
2. Select "Gmail Add-on" and then "Connect to Gmail".
3. Authorize the add-on to access your Gmail account.

Step 4: Set up the mail merge

1. In your Google Sheets document, select the range of cells that contains the recipient data.
2. Click on the "Gmail Add-on" button in the top menu bar.
3. Select "Mail Merge" and then "Create a new mail merge".
4. Choose the Gmail template you created earlier and select the recipient data range.
5. Configure the mail merge settings as needed (e.g., subject line, sender email, etc.).

Step 5: Run the mail merge

1. Click on the "Run" button to start the mail merge process.
2. The add-on will automatically send personalized emails to each recipient using the data from your Google Sheets document.

Tips and Variations:

• You can use Google Apps Script to automate the mail merge process and customize it further.
• You can also use other Google Sheets add-ons, such as "AutoCrat" or "Gmail Merge", to achieve similar results.
• Make sure to test your mail merge process with a small group of recipients before sending it to a larger audience.

By following these steps, you can create a powerful mail merge process that automates sending personalized emails to your recipients using Gmail and Google Sheets.
