YAMM lets you easily send your emails from another account, like an alias. Read this article to learn more about this option.
1. Add the accounts / aliases in your Gmail settings
To send your campaigns from another email address like an alias, you first need to add the address in your Gmail settings.
In Gmail, click the gear icon, then select See all settings.
Select the Accounts tab. Click Add another email address.
Add the email address you want to treat as an alias. In our example, we also changed the name. Then click Next Step.
Gmail asks you to verify the email address you want to add by sending you a code. Click Send Verification.
Check the inbox of the account you want to add and copy the code you received.
Go back to your Gmail settings and paste the code in the verification field. Click Verify.
The new email address appears next to Send mail as in your Gmail settings. Make sure that the default account is your primary account (the primary account is the one from which you want to send your email campaign). If it isn't, click make default.
If you need more help configuring additional accounts, read this article in Google Help: Send emails from a different address or alias
2. Select the other account from YAMM
Open your spreadsheet. Click Add-ons > Yet Another Mail Merge > Start Mail Merge.
Select the draft you prepared for your campaign. The account you want to treat as an alias is selected by default. If you want to check, click + Alias, filters, personalized attachments.
Click Back.
You can now send your emails.
Recipients receive an email from the alias account.
Information about the test option and your alias
If you send a test email to yourself, Gmail automatically skips the alias setting. The alias feature therefore does not work with the Receive a test email button. 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.
