About this process

For the purposes of your first mail merge, we show how to send multiple recipients the announcement that the fictitious Terrace Hotel is once again open for reservations.

With this example, we demonstrate how to first create a basic contacts list in a Google spreadsheet, draft an email template with the announcement, personalize the template for each recipient by using markers, and sending the emails with the data from the spreadsheet merged into the email sent to each recipient.
