Define Gmail settings if you want to send your mail merge from a different email address.
1. Add the alias in your Gmail settings
Click the gear icon on the top right corner and follow the link to See all settings.
Select the Accounts tab. Next to Send mail as, click Add another email address to use an alias when sending your mail merge.
A window opens. Write a name and the email address you want to use as an alias.
Make sure Treat as an alias is checked.
Click Next Step.
Click Send verification.
From the Gmail account, you want to add (in our example: alice@yet-another-mail-merge.com), open the email Google sent you and copy the code. Go back to your primary account (in our example: support@yet-another-mail-merge.com), and paste the code in the verification field. Click Verify.
The new email address appears next to Send mail as in your Gmail settings.
If you need more help configuring additional accounts, read this article in Google Help: Send emails from a different address or alias.
2. Send a mail merge with your alias
Open your spreadsheet. From the Add-ons menu, select Yet Another Mail Merge (YAMM). Click Start Mail Merge.
Select the draft you prepared for your mail merge and then click '+ Alias, filters, personalized attachments'.
In our example, we unchecked the tracking option.
Select your alias email address and click Back.
Click Send.
Recipients receive an email from the alias account.
Please note that the alias feature does not work with the test email option. Learn more: The 'Send from' field (alias picker) isn’t working

Hello, is there a way to have multiple senders for the same campaign? I have all senders already added as aliases in gmail and they are already verified, I just want the sender address to be that of the employee handling this specific client, so can I add the senders account as a variable in the sheet and each emails goes out from the specified sender? I understand there's a workaround by splitting the campaign and sending each sender's batch on its own but was wondering if the scenario above is applicable.

That's not possible yet. YAMM is designed to use a single alias per mail merge.
We invite you to head towards our Feature Request section in order to submit your suggestion.
Thank you.
Hey there,
I set up an alias on my account for another person at my organization. I noticed that I was getting some auto-replies to my email address, and my associate got other to theirs. Is this normal? I assumed that it was just how the recipient’s server is configured, but unsure.
Also, in the gmail template, do you first have to change the sender to the alias? I did so because it populated the alias signature in the draft.
Hi there -
I've added an Account so I can send from a shared inbox (delegated account): however, no matter how many times I refresh, I can't see drafts or templates from that account - only the ones on my personal account. I've selected the other account as the "send from" - but still only see my templates and drafts. Any ideas?
