Yet Another Mail Merge (YAMM)

Yet Another Mail Merge, or YAMM, is a mail merge add-on for Google Sheets that is whitelisted for use by the University of Michigan (see here). YAMM is a simple solution to send personalized emails and newsletters or notifications on forms submissions to multiple recipients.

You can find additional information on how to begin your first mail campaign, among other resources on YAMM’s website.
