Find out about the latest releases of Yet Another Mail Merge in 2021!

September 9th

When importing personalized attachments with the feature Import from Drive folder and one or more of the files was a shortcut to another file, YAMM was not processing shortcuts properly. This resulted in the files to shortcuts not being sent. This issue is now resolved.

September 7th

Announcement

The new Talarian website has been launched. 🎉

As the company behind YAMM, Form Publisher, Awesome Table, and Invoice to Sheet, Talarian is now also featured in the YAMM website.

Bug fix

We fixed an issue where the Schedule mail merge option was not running under specific circumstances.

YAMM was duplicating recipients' email addresses in your Google sheet which resulted in the same email being sent 2 or 3 times to the same recipient. This issue happened in very rare cases due to prolonged faulty connection between users and Gmail / YAMM services.

Improvement
