Hi all, a really useful tip. When drafting your email, make sure you've changed to plain text mode, otherwise the {{}} tags in the body of your email won't get read by the script and will appear blank when you hit send. Like me, if you want your email to have a fancy footer and some nice fonts, you can copy and paste your plain text email body into a new draft in normal mode. As long as the {{}} tags are in plain text the script will read them and the merge will work. It's basically taken me about a day to work this out, in which time I could have written all the emails I needed to send out by hand!

Hi everyone, For those who were facing problem with the First Name not appearing in the email, try this out. In the link where you download the google sheets file you will see instructions on how to use Mail Merge. There you will find a highlighted text which says {{First Name}} . Copy that onto your email and then try. But make sure to format the font, size and background color to match the rest of your email. I dont know the logic behind this but it worked for me.

@@user-tr1zt1mq7h Gabriel, just follow the video. Google sheets does not include the capability in its core. You'll need to download a _copy of that specific document,_ then allow the document to perform the incorporated script. The script actually puts the menu in the google sheet. After you authorize the script it becomes fully functional. (Security measure: 7:20) Good luck!

@@jawaadkhan5238 I was able to make this work with a personal account. You have to go through a number of hoops. The directions show you how to allow the script to work. You may have to scroll down, or click the very tiny grey "Advanced" link and go through a few other hoops. It's okay because the script is shared directly from Google's support area. Just follow through all the hoops. When it's done, pull down on the Merge menu again and follow the prompts until you have sent an email. I think you're limited to 100 emails _sent_ per day as a regular non-business google account.

SOLVED: Fix for missing fields in Body of Email: 1. Copy/Paste field from Sheet into Subject area of email - (adding curly bracket syntax - example: {{field_name}} ) 2. Copy/paste again (from curly bracket to curly bracket) from Subject area into Body. Voila! 3. Delete field from Subject area if not needed. 4. Repeat for each field that you need in the body. Basically, I believe we must strip the formatting from the field name when inserting it into our email body, and it seemed to work best when copy/pasting from Subject area to Body.

I don't know if it's changed since this video was made, but Gmail doesn't require {{Recipient}} in the email To: field - and it is removed if the draft is closed and then re-opened anyway, presumably as it's not a valid email address. Just leave the To: field blank and the mail merge will work - the script knows where to put the email addresses!

This is a suggestion for a future video, and I'm putting this here because it's your latest video at the time. I have not found a good way to create a virtual water cooler in Teams. A meeting that anyone can join at any time when they've got some downtime, so we get some ad hoc social interaction, like we used to get when we would go get coffee in the office. They pop in, talk with a couple of other people for 5 minutes then move on. We would have to leave a meeting open all the time? Downsides I would like to avoid: having to schedule all day meetings on everyone's calendar. For whoever actually creates this constantly open, always available meeting, avoid having their calendar show all day meetings. Turn off notifications by default for the meeting/channel so that everyone doesn't get flooded with notifications. I don't know if it is possible, or if it is possible, if it is just too much work or annoying, but I think everyone misses that social interaction when we're all working from home. A constantly open meeting that you can just pop in and out of for ad hoc and social conversations would be great. Love the channel, love the content. Thanks for doing what you do.

It seems so simply, but when something doesn't work right, there's no help nor step-by-step guide for trouble shooting - at least I couldn't find anything. I did everything as described, but when I hit "Send Mail" for the test-run, nothing happened. My address was entered correctly and all other required fields were in the sheet, too. So I ended up using the Add-On "Mail Merge Docs - Email, document, letter" from the Google Workspace Marketplace, which worked real well.

Kevin, thanks for these videos. 1. There are now extensions that can be installed to handle mail merge ("Mergo..." & "Yet another..." & many more). I started to install these two extensions but found in the permissions for both, they wanted access to view & download every file I have stored in my Google Drive. I stopped looking at the extensions & went back to this script's permissions - no such requirement (no mention of Google Drive files). Thank the gods b/c I had already used this script embedded Sheets file. If someone wants to use a mail merge extension and is using Google Drive for anything you don't want shared with the company issuing the extension, then setup a new Google account only for email merging!!

Good point but it's not just that. YAMM give a tiny free mail merge allowance of 50 emails which only seems to reset after you've used it all up rather than automatically resetting every 24 hours. YAMM used to allow you 50 extra emails for each person you referred to use it which got you up to a decent allowance but they took that away so you're more inclined to pay for an increased allowance.

Bethlehem Early Learning Center 11 hónappal ezelőtt SOLVED: Fix for missing fields in Body of Email: 1. Copy/Paste field from Sheet into Subject area of email - (adding curly bracket syntax - example: {{field_name}} ) 2. Copy/paste again (from curly bracket to curly bracket) from Subject area into Body. Voila! 3. Delete field from Subject area if not needed. 4. Repeat for each field that you need in the body. Basically, I believe we must strip the formatting from the field name when inserting it into our email body, and it seemed to work best when copy/pasting from Subject area to Body.

Thank you for the great video! Whenever I try to add in the curly brackets and copy/paste the First name cell, it pastes bold (which is different from when you do it in the video) and then in the test emails I receive, the first name of the person doesn't show up. Am I doing something wrong? Or is something not working properly in the script of the google sheet? Thank you

I have a suggestion on a topic and while I know you have a video on Gmail but I was hoping if you could make one where how one can add yahoo accounts and others to Gmail with adding filters and such. Thanks again!
