With YAMM, sending emails to remaining rows without sending duplicates to former recipients is very easy. This article will explain you how to do so.
info If you wish to segment more specifically your mailing list, please consult this article: 'Segment your list and only send emails to specific people / rows'
Can I resend my campaign on the same sheets?
With YAMM, you can complete (or resume) your mail merge on the same sheet without sending duplicates to previous recipients.
This is useful if:
- You sent a first mail merge in your spreadsheet but didn't complete it (because of quota limits or else)
- You have added new recipients to your mailing list
- The add-on stopped for some reasons (server errors etc.)
How to (re)send your campaign to remaining rows?
In the following example, we want to send our campaign to the last four rows (row 12 to 15), as the previous ones have already received the email:
Just start your second mail merge ('Add-ons > Yet Another Mail Merge > Start Mail Merge').
You should then notice a new information on the pop-up window, which indicates that 'Rows with a valid merge status will be skipped':
Valid merge statuses that trigger YAMM to skip corresponding rows
Here is the full list of all valid merge statuses, which will be skipped by YAMM:
- EMAIL_SENT
- EMAIL_OPENED
- EMAIL_CLICKED
- RESPONDED
- BOUNCED
- UNSUBSCRIBED
error 'EMAIL_NOT_SENT' and 'ERROR' will not be skipped.
warning This feature only works with the valid merge statuses listed above. Any tiny change (even lower case) will break this option, and YAMM might send duplicates. So please make sure you don't delete or modify the merge statuses when sending your next mail merges on the same spreadsheet.

First -- thank you for this software. I love it. I'm just evaluating the free version right now and it's great.
This help article is very pertinent to me. I'm about to send a "second batch" of mails from a spreadsheet that I already sent a "first batch" from yesterday. I want to be sure I won't re-send mail to any in the "first batch." However, when I start the mail merge, I don't see the information which indicates that 'Rows with a valid merge status will be skipped'. Instead, I just get one that says "You don't have enough quota to send all emails now." (screenshot below)
Please note that my "first batch" rows all have a "Merge Status" column with valid values for all records I sent yesterday.
I believe this is all working as expected but perhaps the UI changed a bit and you no longer show the information described in this article. I'd just like your confirmation before sending my second batch. Thanks!
