Whether it’s for circulating personalized mail within the group or sending out interview letters to candidates, Mail Merge is��a must-have tool for any organization.��Having it baked into a word processor—something your teams use almost every day—helps boost productivity without having to��introduce any new��software into the workplace.

Here’s��how��Writer’s��Mail Merge��can help solve some of your organization’s everyday document-distribution problems:

1. Send up to 500 pieces of mail at once

Using Mail Merge saves you time and effort when sending bulk mail, without compromising the personal touch you might want them to have. Apart from mail, you can also work on labels, invoices, envelopes and��other similar documents that are meant to be created and distributed in large numbers.

All you need is a��template document with the required content and graphics. Inserting��Merge Fields at the right places��does the rest.��Smart!

The close-knit integration between Writer and other ���²�����վ apps means you can draw information from your leads��in�����²�����վ CRM, or employee information from�����²�����վ People or�����²�����վ Recruit. You can send up to 1000 shipments a day, with a maximum of 500 shipments at once. Here’s our��detailed guide on how to set��up Mail Merge and data sources.

2. Schedule and track mail

Mid-morning��Tuesdays are����to be the best time to send an internal email, while��Friday evenings are probably the worst. If you want��your recipients to pay attention, it’s important you reach out to them at the right time.��But instead of waiting for that perfect time to click “Send,” why not schedule them in advance?

But what if you wanted to cancel��sending your scheduled mail? What if you want to send it out a little earlier than planned? How do you know how many of them have been delivered or bounced? We thought��hard about these common problems and came up with��Mail Merge Logs—a new consolidated summary of all the��Mail Merge sessions initiated using a particular document template.

Here’s a��detailed guide��on how to use Mail Merge Logs.

3.��Clip common attachments

Say your HR team wants to welcome new recruits with a customized��email that also contains��a copy of the company policy. Say you’re hosting a party, and want to send out a personal reminder to everyone attending, along with a roadmap��to the venue. That’s where the��Additional Attachment��option comes into play.

If you think about it, this option lets you��put both – a highly personalized document, and a generic file attachment – in��a single package, without any complex steps. Here’s our��detailed guide��on how to use additional attachments.

4. One alias. Multiple users.

Now that you’ve seen how to create, schedule, and track mail, let’s discuss how you can give��it a unified face. Mail Merge comes with an option to use a different��From and��Reply-to��address. Different individuals or departments in your organization can send out mail from their devices, using their own accounts, yet carry the alias of your business in the final shipment.

All of these capabilities, along with the optimizations��we’ve��made under the hood takes��Writer to a whole different��level that we can’t��help but get excited about! We’d love to hear how you and your organization benefited from Mail Merge’s many options. Leave us a comment or write to us at support@zohowriter.com.
