#QUICK SPREADSHEET MAIL MERGE PLUS#

Single-sign on between for Google Apps users means you don’t need to remember another username and password, which is a big plus for convenience. MailChimp has the advantage of sitting in Google’s Marketplace app store which means that it has some level of integration with Google Apps. If you are wanting to merge a large number of email addresses with an email message then using a web-based email marketing service such as MailChimp or Campaign Monitor is a good option. The Good – Google Contacts + MailChimp or other email marketing service There are at least three ways to run a mail merge within Google Apps, though long-time Microsoft Office users will not find them quite as simple and in most cases only work for sending to email. The mail merged document can be sent to a printer, to new documents or by email. Microsoft Word lets you create a form letter with merge tags that automatically pull names from your groups within your address book in Outlook or elsewhere, such as Apple Address Book on a Mac. (The online version of Word in Microsoft’s cloud productivity suite, Office 365, also lacks this capability.) Google Apps users are sometimes disappointed that there is no mail merge function in Google Docs, the word-processor, like there is in the desktop version of Microsoft Word. So you use Google Apps and you want to send a sales letter to all your prospects? Or an invitation to all your customers?
