Reviews & Comments of Mail Merge for Gmail chrome extension

error

The extension works as described. No support, means take it as is. It is basic, no frills. If you review your email content it will look just like you typed it, but when you send the email it will arrive in the recipients in-box as unformatted text all run together. In other words, no line breaks or other formatting. If you want the email text to be formatted you will need to use HTML tags such <bold> and <br> etc. A bigger issue in my mind, however, is when you use this mail merge tool, the recipient will either get a warning that the email is dangerous or it will end up in their spam filter.

Didn't work - not recognising several addresses. Moreover the functionality is so limited that it defeats the object - no provision for attachments or for html clickable links, for example.

This product is an utter waste of time. Do not waste your time like I did. Walk away. Do not add to Chrome. It DOES NOT FORMAT ANYTHING. My simple 6 paragraph email message turned into a rambling blob of text without the spaces between paragraphs. Also, it DOES NOT HAVE FUNCTIONALITY TO ADD AN ATTACHMENT. It is AWFUL!

I just love how this allows me to send personalised emails! I find it trouble free and it works as promised. You just need to remember to put the email addresses into the special column that is created when you format the worksheet. I've used it to merge data into multiple fields throughout the message, and also CC the messages to different people. This has revolutionised my workflow... no more using the BCC field and sending impersonal messages!

This extension did not work for me. I could not get it to connect with google sheets to send a mail merge.

It was very glitchy, but never explained what went wrong. Through trial and error I realized that "email" had to be the first field on my sheet or it wouldn't even load the list. And I never could get them to send, but I don't know why because it never gave specifics, just said "26 emails failed to send".

Amazing Option to send multiple emails all together.

Wonderfull setup for mail-merge

please set word arrange

Great Extension. Well Done Guys

Good for my urgent need.

excellent!!

removed the Formatting of the Content of Email, Kindly improve upon this

This Extension captured and sent Emails, but removed the Formatting of the Content of Email, which Primarily DEFEATS the EXPRESSION, IMPRESSION and PURPOSE OF THE email sent.....

This is a simple e-mail merge extension. It works. It has no silly quotas like YAMM. I used it with a Google account and from Google Drive, so it may be different in other circumstances. However, to get it to work, one needs to ensure the following: 1. the tab in a spreadsheet where the merge data is residing must be the leftmost (first) tab in the spreadsheet. If it is not, it won't find the data. 2. the email addresses must be in the leftmost column of that first tab. 3. take care with tag names, e.g. "First name" must be used exactly like that {{First name}}, it is case sensitive, so {{First Name}} will not work. This was highlighted in the example provided. 4. A good feature is that one can select which rows to merge and which not to (by ticking/unticking) and any "illegal" rows are "crossed out" so you can decide whether to ignore them or go back to data and fix any issues. 5. the email template gives different results in preview mode (where things look OK) and the actual email received after the merge. The actual mail merge strips all line breaks / carriage returns and turns the text into one long paragraph. I have not played with many HTML formatting options, but when I inserted "<br>"s in the template text, that looked ugly in the preview, but produced line breaks in the received merged email. I suspect that the text can be HTML formatted to make it look good. Maybe it's not good enough to use with external clients [it has not got many features] but for internal mailings it looks like it is a good solution.
