Como criar uma mala direta no Excel

A mail merge is one of the most efficient ways to mass communicate with a huge number of people at the same time. There are many different types of mail merge tools and software available, however, it’s difficult to find a tool that takes care of the process from start to finish. When you do, these are often extremely complex or expensive.

Mass emails are a key communication tool used in almost every single business today. Not only can they be used for internal communication (such as monthly business briefings or reports), but they can also be used to communicate externally with clients or customers (such as newsletters or product updates).

Luckily, with Sheetgo, you can easily create a mail merge from a simple Excel in just a few simple steps, and even automate the entire process.

Como criar uma mala direta no Excel

Let’s say I am a Marketing manager, and I need to send out a monthly newsletter to all of my company’s customers. I have a huge database full of the data of each client, including their full name and email address:

Using the Sheetgo web app, I can connect my spreadsheet to the E-mail feature, where I can type out my newsletter.

Then, Sheetgo will automatically take the email addresses from my spreadsheet and send my email to each recipient via Gmail in just a few moments.

1. Registre-se no Sheetgo

It’s easy to sign up for Sheetgo! Simply log in with your Google, Microsoft, or Dropbox account to get started.

2. Create a new workflow

No aplicativo da Web Sheetgo, clique em Novo fluxo de trabalho. Selecione Conectar arquivos. Make sure to name your new workflow clearly in the top-left field.

3. Connect your source data

In order to upload your Excel file, click Arquivo único. Search for and add your spreadsheet file name. Make sure that you also select the correct tab where your data is located.

When finished, click Próximo.

Next, scroll to the ‘Generate’ section and select E-mail.

4. Add email addresses

Sheetgo gives you the option to either manually enter email addresses, or to transfer the email addresses located in your Excel file. Let’s explore how to perform both options:

Usar destinatários personalizados

With this option, you can manually enter email addresses of your choosing. This is a good option for communication with smaller groups of people, such as your department.

Simply select the Usar destinatários personalizados option and enter email addresses into the field.

Obter dinamicamente da coluna

By selecting this option, Sheetgo will automatically recognize email addresses in a column within your Excel spreadsheet and add them as your recipients. This is great if you have a large database full of emails, saving you lots of time and effort.

To use this option, select the Obter dinamicamente da coluna option and select the column containing the email addresses in your Excel, using the dropdown menu. As you can see, in my example, customers’ email addresses are located in Column C.

5. Create your email

Now that you have connected your spreadsheet to the Email feature, it’s now time to create your email content.

You can directly type in your email into the text box. Sheetgo offers different formatting options, including headers, bullet points, and action buttons.

Don’t forget to customize the subject line too!

6. Optional: insert smart tags to personalize your email

Looking to personalize your mass email? Sheetgo can take each column from your spreadsheet and turn them into buttons called Smart tags. When you add these to your email content, Sheetgo will automatically substitute these with the specific data from that column, for each row.

Let’s say I want to personalize my email by adding a quick welcome message. I can use the First name smart tag in this text. As a result, each customer who receives the email will see their first name in the welcome message.

Once you’re happy with your email, click Concluir e salvar.
