Mail Merge Template

By | February 2, 2011
Everybody must be aware of Sage CRM standard mail merge functionality. Does anybody know how to create the merge templates? Also use the same while sending mail.

Suppose you want to send the mail to the person or group of persons through the mail merge functionality. However, the whole mail content except the Person details is same.

Let me explain the steps to create the merged template.
1. Select the entity for which you want to create the merged document (Here. Person)
2. Click on the New Document from main menu. (Refer below screen shot)

6. After saving just merge this local template by following the 2nd and 3rd point.
7. Now, you are ready to send this document with your mail as an attachment to that person.
8. To send the mail to the group of peoples then just create a group under the Groups tab in My CRM section and add the group of peoples in that group.
