How to send bulk mail from gmail with name

Sending bulk mail from Gmail with a personalized name can be a bit tricky, but it's doable. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:

Method 1: Using Gmail's built-in feature

Gmail allows you to send mass emails with a personalized name using its built-in feature called "Canned Responses" (formerly known as "Templates"). Here's how:

  1. Enable Canned Responses:
    • Go to Gmail's settings (gear icon) > See all settings.
    • Scroll down to the "Advanced" tab.
    • Enable "Canned responses (templates)".
  2. Create a template:
    • Compose a new email with the subject and body you want to use for your bulk mail.
    • Click on the three vertical dots at the bottom of the compose window.
    • Select "Canned responses" > "New template".
    • Name your template (e.g., "Bulk Mail").
  3. Add a personalized name:
    • In the template, add a placeholder for the recipient's name using the syntax {{name}}.
    • You can also add other placeholders for custom fields, such as {{company}} or {{email}}.
  4. Send the bulk mail:
    • Go to the "Compose" window and select the template you created.
    • Enter the recipient's email addresses in the "To" field, separated by commas.
    • Click "Send" to send the bulk mail.

Method 2: Using a third-party add-on

If you need more advanced features or a larger recipient list, you can use a third-party add-on like "Boomerang" or "Sanebox". These add-ons allow you to send bulk emails with personalized names and also offer features like email tracking and follow-up reminders.

Here's how to use Boomerang:

  1. Install Boomerang:
    • Go to the Chrome Web Store and install the Boomerang extension.
    • Sign in to your Gmail account.
  2. Create a new email:
    • Compose a new email with the subject and body you want to use for your bulk mail.
    • Click on the Boomerang icon in the compose window.
  3. Add a personalized name:
    • In the Boomerang window, click on the "Personalize" tab.
    • Enter the recipient's name in the "Name" field.
    • You can also add other custom fields, such as "Company" or "Email".
  4. Send the bulk mail:
    • Click "Send" to send the bulk mail.
