Gmail’s mail merge feature discontinued

Due to security concerns, TMU has disabled the built-in mail merge feature within Gmail and it is no longer available. The mail merge function previously allowed users to create personalized mass emails.

Alternatives to Gmail’s mail merge feature

As an alternative, CCS has in-house mail merge tools available in the Google Sheets template gallery. You may find these options more helpful than Gmail’s mail merge feature as TMU’s templates allow you to include external email addresses in your email list.

To find TMU’s in-house mail merge templates:

1. Create a new Google Sheets file.
2. Click the File menu.
3. Highlight New, which will then allow you to click an option called From template gallery.
4. In the template gallery window, scroll to the Letters section and choose either the Advanced Mail Merge 2.0 option or the Simple Mail Merge (with first/last name and email) option.
5. After making your selection, instructions for use will be available upon opening the template.
