About YAMM
About the software
Yet Another Mail Merge (YAMM) works with Google Mail and Sheets to easily send personalised emails to multiple recipients.
- Draft email messages containing 'placeholders' are merged with addresses and other data in a Google Spreadsheet to generate and send multiple, personalised emails.
- Mailings can be scheduled up to seven days ahead
- There is a sending limit of 1500 recipients per day per account, with the facility to reserve quota for other email sent normally from that account
- An unsubscribe link can be included
YAMM also has a secondary feature that allows you to send customised automated emails on a Google Form submission.
Version
We have purchased a site licence for the Enterprise+ plan, which makes all YAMM functions available to both students and staff.
Obtaining the software
Staff and students
Yet Another Mail Merge is available to all students and staff at the University of York who have a valid @york.ac.uk email address. It can be used both on and off campus.
It requires use of the Google Chrome browser and a reliable internet connection.
