This article will show you the easiest way to send your personalized email template directly to several recipients at the same time, without putting them in copy.
How to send the same email to several recipients at once?
For example, you are a teacher and want to send emails to your students. But at the same time, you also want to send the same email to their parents (with the same merged information), without adding them as cc or bcc.
To do so, add all the email addresses in the same cell, under the recipients' column, separated by a comma followed by a space:
The same email will then be sent to both student & parents.
Note: Like cc/bcc recipients, all additional emails on the same cell will be counted against your quota too.
Important information about invalid email addresses
If you have written several email addresses on one cell, but one account is invalid (mainly because of typos), then YAMM will still send your emails to the other valid accounts.
We will indicate not which accounts are incorrect, but at the end of your campaign, you should notice that your emails have not been sent to all recipients from your spreadsheet (provided you haven't added any cc/bcc recipients). This is a sign that some email addresses are invalid:

In this example, will it combine the greeting to read "Hello Henry, Marie, and Lucy," or will it just send addressed to Henry with the others cc'd?
Hi Brad,
Thanks for your comment!
Our example shows a specific use case where there are multiple recipients in the 'TO' field of your emails sent. As a result, if you follow our example, you will end up with:
Beware, YAMM works row by row, so the combined greeting ('Hello Henry, Marie, and Lucy) will not work.
In our example, YAMM will not automatically combine the greetings. YAMM will not send only to Henry & the others' cc'd. If you want to include recipients as cc (or bcc), then please read this article: 'Add cc / bcc recipients in your emails'.
We will update this article to make it clearer to our users.
Hi,
In this example will sending emails for Row 2, 3 & 4 above count as 3 emails sent in total (only 3 towards daily limit of 50) even though there are 6 recipients in total?
Hello, I realize this thread is a bit old, but I'm able to send the same email to two different email addresses with a joint salutation as long as I separate the emails with a semicolon and a space. Has that feature been updated since this question was answered? Thanks.
Hi Katie,
Yes, this has been updated and it works with semi column as well now.
Let me know if there is anything else we could help you with!
Thanks,

I know this is old but i have the same question as Matthew's.
In this example will sending emails for Row 2, 3 & 4 above count as 3 emails sent in total (only 3 towards our paid daily limit of 1500) even though there are 6 recipients in total?
Hi Handler, Joel,
In this case it will count as 6 emails sent actually.
Consider it as having 400 emails per 24 hours and each recipient you add (even in cc/bcc fields) consumes one email.
I hope this helps!
Thanks,
Omiros
