Outlook Mail Merge in Office 365: How to Mail Merge in Outlook

Our newOutlook Mail Merge tool lets you send beautiful HTML emailswithout leaving Outlook. Now you can get the best of both worlds: the power of the cloud without having to leave Outlook to send a mail merge.

As you know, internal emails and employee newsletters can increase employee engagement, morale, and overall business performance. Historically speaking, however, using Outlook and Word to send a mail merge has been incredibly painful for communicators, with countless errors appearing the second they hit send.

Word Mail Merge is so complicated, in fact, that the tiniest of occurrences (like having too many shortcuts on your desktop) will cause it to crash.

On top of that, multitasking isn’t an option while merging: you have to sit there and wait for your merge to finish before you can continue with your day.

What’s even worse is that your employee newsletters will render incorrectly when you hit send, with stretched images, broken links, and missing merge fields.

Well, you can now say goodbye to such a painful mail merge experience. With our solution for Outlook you can rest assured that your emails will render exactly how you pictured them.
