Mail Merge with Gmail - Video Tutorial

[dgarvoille]

This works, but typically, you want only the first name in the greeting of a personalized email. Sometimes you may even want to use a nickname, too.

For example, if I sent an email to a group of friends, I would never say "Dear Robert Smith," but "Dear Bob."

Is there a way to change the script to merge the Nickname or a Custom Field instead?

How do you get the spreadsheet to work with a google apps account. It only wants to to work with a gmail account and won't accept my login for google apps?

Thanks for your YouTube Video. Has Google disabled Mail Merge? I've uploaded your CSV to my Docs but do not see the Mail Merge tab.

Thanks!

@PinehurstGolfer it is working

It's helpful - but what if each recipient needs to get more personalized parts of the message than merely their name?
