How to send a mail in gmail mail merge
Gmail Mail Merge!
To send a mail merge using Gmail, you'll need to use a third-party add-on or a script. Here are a few options:
Option 1: Using a third-party add-on
- Install the "Coda Mail Merge" add-on from the G Suite Marketplace.
- Create a new Coda document and set up your mail merge template.
- Connect your Gmail account to Coda.
- Use the add-on to send your mail merge emails.
Option 2: Using a script
- Install the "Gmail Mail Merge" script from the Google Apps Script library.
- Create a new script in your Gmail account.
- Set up your mail merge template using the script's built-in functions.
- Run the script to send your mail merge emails.
Here's a basic example of how to use the script:
Script code:
function sendMailMerge() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
var dataRange = sheet.getRange("A1:B10"); // adjust the range to your data
var data = dataRange.getValues();
var subject = "Hello, {{name}}!";
var body = "Dear {{name}},\n\nThis is a test email.\n\nBest regards,\n{{your_name}}";
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
var row = data[i];
var name = row[0];
var email = row[1];
var message = body.replace("{{name}}", name).replace("{{your_name}}", "Your Name");
MailApp.sendEmail(email, subject, message);
}
}
How to use the script:
- Create a new script in your Gmail account.
- Copy and paste the script code into the script editor.
- Adjust the script to match your data range and template.
- Run the script by clicking the "Run" button or pressing Ctrl+Enter.
- The script will send a mail merge email to each recipient in your data range.
Remember to replace the placeholders ({{name}}
, {{your_name}}
, etc.) with the actual values from your data range.
