Yet another mail merge gmail

You're looking to automate sending personalized emails using Gmail's mail merge feature!

Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:

Prerequisites:

1. You have a Google Sheets document with the data you want to use for the mail merge.
2. You have a Gmail account.

Step 1: Set up your Google Sheets document

1. Create a new Google Sheets document or open an existing one.
2. Add the data you want to use for the mail merge in separate columns. For example:
   • Column A: Names
   • Column B: Email addresses
   • Column C: Messages (the text you want to include in the email)
3. Make sure the data is organized and formatted correctly.

Step 2: Create a Gmail template

1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
3. Go to the "General" tab and scroll down to the "Signature" section.
4. Click on the "Insert template" button.
5. Create a new template or use an existing one.
6. In the template, add the placeholders for the data you want to merge. For example:
   • {{Name}}
   • {{Email}}
   • {{Message}}
7. Save the template.

Step 3: Use the Gmail add-on

1. Install the "Gmail Add-on" from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
2. Once installed, click on the "Add-on" button in your Gmail compose window.
3. Select the "Mail Merge" option.
4. Choose the Google Sheets document you created earlier.
5. Select the range of cells that contains the data you want to use for the mail merge.
6. Choose the Gmail template you created earlier.
7. Click on the "Merge" button.

Step 4: Review and send the emails

1. Review the merged emails to ensure they are correct and personalized.
2. If everything looks good, click on the "Send" button to send the emails.

Tips and Variations:

• You can use conditional statements in your Gmail template to personalize the emails further.
• You can also use the "Gmail Add-on" to send emails in bulk, without using a mail merge.
• If you have a large number of emails to send, consider using a third-party service like Mailchimp or Constant Contact, which offer more advanced features and better performance.

I hope this helps you automate your mail merge process using Gmail!
