Send Personalized Mail Merge E-mails
Gmail: Business organizations send business emails to their clients. Gmail is included in the Google Workspace suite. The same content is sent to many clients. Send the same content to many clients is difficult. Mail Merge has applications for sending personalized email messages, newsletters, and announcements. When sending a message each recipient gets a unique copy of the mail. The mail merge option replaces multi-send mail. Mail merge personalizes messages with merge tags. One can also link a spreadsheet that contains the contact information to send messages to large recipients.
Working on Mail Merge in Gmail
Turn on the mail merge to send messages to many clients. Gmail sends a unique copy to each recipient individually. When the recipients open the message they can’t check who sent the message. If anyone replies to the message, you get the replies in separate threads. If you need to send emails to multi-users, link a spreadsheet. Mail merge consists of unsubscribe links for each recipient by default. Users unsubscribed from your e-mails are removed from your future mail merge mails.
