During one of our last implementations, we faced the recurring challenge of having to send the same message (for example: "Remember that the hospital is going live next week, please make sure you have time reserved to perform your transition tasks") to multiple dozens of external companies. And for each of the systems, we needed to inform various people at the company itself (who needed to be in the To line) as well as people in the hospital itself, working on the project (they needed to be in the CC line). Finally, working with the Mental Martial Arts productivity system, we wanted to put ourselves in the BCC line to allow for follow-up with the folks that would not confirm the actions asked in the emails.

Being software geeks, we're lazy. Meaning: we don't like to do multiple times the same low-value activity, such as copy/pasting the same message dozens of time, and then figuring out who to send the mails and replacing all the names of Company A with Company B.

That's where Mail Merge comes into play. But, and to keep it short as you've most likely done the same web searches as we did, there's just no simple way to perform this using the Microsoft Word Mail Merge function, as it is limited (from the previous paper era) to just one recipient per message. No multiple To for you, let alone CC or BCC. What? You wanted to have different subject too? What an eccentric you must be! ;)

 

So we set out to built the software that you can also use today: EmailMerge.cc

We hope you will save as much time as we did using this software. Just drop us a line at info@emailmerge.cc, or tweet us at @emailmergecc to let us know how much time you got back, or pass along any ideas or feature requests.

Oh, and by the way: future upgrades are included for free, just plain "no hassle" strategy. We just want to see you happy!

Just promise us you won't spam (but then: who would do that from Microsoft Outlook anyway...)
