How to do company name in mail merge in thunderbird
In Thunderbird, you can use a mail merge feature to insert company names into your emails. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:
Prerequisites:
- You have a list of company names in a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file or a spreadsheet like Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel.
- You have Thunderbird installed on your computer.
Step 1: Create a CSV file or spreadsheet
If you don't already have a list of company names, create a CSV file or spreadsheet with the following columns:
- Company Name
- Email Address (optional)
Step 2: Create a new email template in Thunderbird
- Open Thunderbird and create a new email by clicking on the "Compose" button.
- Write the email body and format it as desired.
- Place your cursor where you want to insert the company name.
Step 3: Use the "Insert Merge Field" feature
- Click on the "Insert" menu and select "Merge Field" from the drop-down menu.
- In the "Insert Merge Field" dialog box, select "Company Name" from the list of available fields.
- Click "OK" to insert the merge field.
Step 4: Configure the mail merge
- Go to the "Edit" menu and select "Mail Merge" from the drop-down menu.
- In the "Mail Merge" dialog box, select the CSV file or spreadsheet you created in Step 1.
- Choose the column that contains the company names (e.g., "Company Name").
- Set the "Merge Field" to the company name field you inserted in Step 3.
- Click "OK" to start the mail merge process.
Step 5: Send the emails
- Thunderbird will create a new email for each company name in your list.
- Review the emails to ensure they are formatted correctly.
- Send the emails to the respective company addresses (if you have them).
Tips:
- Make sure to save your CSV file or spreadsheet with a
.csv
extension. - You can customize the mail merge process by using other fields from your CSV file or spreadsheet, such as email addresses or addresses.
- If you have a large list of company names, you may want to consider using a more advanced mail merge tool, such as Mozilla's Thunderbird Extension "Mail Merge" or a third-party add-on.
