Create a simple draft email template in Gmail for your mail merge

1. Compose a draft in Gmail

First of all, you need a template in your Gmail draft. This template can be selected from our template gallery, or you can create your own template in Gmail (make sure that you are using the web version of Gmail, and not Inbox or another tool).

To do so, click on 'Compose' in Gmail, and write the email that you want:

Note: Make sure to leave the 'To', 'cc' and 'bcc' fields EMPTY!

Then, save your email in your Gmail 'Drafts' folder. Do NOT delete your draft!

2. Select your template in YAMM

That's it! Your template is now ready to be used in YAMM. Go to 'Add-ons > Yet Another Mail Merge > Start Mail Merge':

Then just select your draft in the 'Email Template' field: 

Note: You can easily retrieve your draft in YAMM by adding a star in Gmail:

3. Send your mail merge with YAMM

Once you're ready, simply hit the 'Send Emails' button to send your mail merge to your recipients:

You can also use our test email feature to check how your email will look like before sending it definitely.
