Yet Another Mail Merge Reviews

There are a lot of mail merge options out there, but I think that YAMM is among the best for working with Gmail. We use G Suite (Google Apps) in our school system and this is the reason I love YAMM - it's so easy to set up and use if your familiar with the Google platform (specifically Google Sheets). All I have to do is create a Sheet with two columns - one for names and the other for emails. From there, when my email draft is ready, YAMM does all of the hard work for me! It's so simple, easy, and quick to send a lot of personalized emails. Since it works from Sheets, you also have the ability to filter names in the spreadsheet or create tabs for different purposes, which is extremely helpful if you have to send multiple, repeat emails throughout the year. YAMM also helps me collect data and track emails (opened, clicked, etc.). When consider mail merge options, I also think YAMM is one of the most cost efficient ways of doing it if you're wanting to use G Suite tools (unless you stick to mail merge through Windows applications). I cannot really speak to their customer support - never really used that - but they do offer great, simple, step-by-step instructions that are more than you need.

I honestly don't have any complaints. It's extremely simple to use and very time efficient. Some different pricing options would be helpful, I suppose. Perhaps they could build in pricing tiers depending on the need of the individual.

Easy to use and convenient tracking summary

YAMM has unfortunately been gradually reducing the effectiveness of it's free service.

Initially, you could send 50 emails a day and get this bumped up by an extra 50 for each person you referred to also use YAMM. Then YAMM took away the referral bonus and capped it at 50 emails a day.

In the past week or so, YAMM has appeared to cap the daily limited at 20 emails a day so it's not really worthwhile using the service.

I was tempted to pay for YAMM because of the ability to schedule emails but the scheduling functionality looks very basic. I'd like to be able to schedule batches to go out each day but YAMM appears to only let you schedule one batch at a time.

There are other free ways to send out emails which I'll need to get back into.

The smoothness of email push-outs and the tracking system is really nice

The customer support is not there while we are facing any issues.

YAMM is such a great tool. It's easy to set up and use. It's that simplicity that I really like. The free limits are generous and the paid version is worth the cost. Sure there are more robust or feature rich tools out there, but with YAMM you are up and running in 30 seconds.

As mentioned above, there are lots of other email marketing tools that have more features, but for day to day mail merge use cases, YAMM is great. I haven't used YAMM in a few months, so perhaps some new features have come on board to close that gap.

Yet Another Mail Merge is a great solution for sending personalised emails via gmail. Using a simple draft email and a spreadsheet with your contacts you're set to go. It also provides analytics and the amazing thing is that is GDPR friendly.

Actually I can't tell that there is something I don't like on YAMM. It's not a complete traditional email marketing service but is a great solution for sending personalised emails via gmail.

Ease of use, integration with existing gmail emails, tracking system for emails opened, bounced, etc.

I wish more tracking information, meaning click rates, average open time, etc., was more readily available but I am grateful to know what was open or bounced.

I love that with using this tool I can send out mail merges that don't come from an overtly mass mailing solution such as MailChimp or Constant Contact. all the emails look like they came directly from my Gmail account.

The user interface can take a little bit of getting used to. it's also a bummer that there is not a mobile-friendly solution.

Its free daily email sending is more than enough for me.

nothing to say that can describe what I don't like.

This is a great, affordable tool that does one thing and one thing really well: send mail merged (personalized) emails to a list of people. All you have to do is add your contact list to a Google Sheet, draft your email in Gmail and use YAMM to send them as 1-on-1 emails to everyone in the list. You can create additional columns in your spreadsheet for any word or phrase you want to personalize in the email for each contact (examples: first name, company name).

YAMM also tracks email opens and clicks and provides you a report afterwards. Basically, if you need to email a list of people (prospects, customers, colleagues, etc.), YAMM is the way to go. Since the emails are sent from Gmail, they have much higher deliverability than ones sent from an email marketing platform (though you should still use the latter if you need to email a huge list).

This tool does one thing exceptionally well so pretty much no bones to pick. Something that would be nice to have is the putting the open, click and bounce rate right on the spreadsheet, so you can easily share it with people and show them the metrics if you need to. Right now, the report appears in a sidebar and only you can open it.

Email templates are good in YAMM which are readily available to use. Email tracking is also a great feature where I can track the recipient's actions towards my emails.

Nothing to dislike. The product has it all.

It is free unless you want access to the 400 emails per day at which point you have to pay a very low annual fee. The emails deliver directly to a recipients mailbox rather than going to promotional or similar.

It runs through gmail so if you have several bounces or failures to deliver then you can put your gmail account at risk. This means it is best to use an email verifying software before you send out any email.

We can send the email at once to several people that we wanted like broadcast

The limited number of senders that can send is the only issue. We need to upgrade and the prices are a bit higher. Sometimes, though 50 senders showed, once we send a test mail it will be reduced to 49. And also it's only sending to the 47 people only. always missing 3 people.

I love how you can just link it to your google account and create drafts that you can, later on, integrate with custom fields and even attachments to send massively.

I don't like that it will not allow you to send chains without the YAMM label on them, it can feel a little overmarketed at times.

There are many similar products that do the same thing but we have found that YAMM integrates well with our Google platform and does exactly as advertised. Also, it does not break our bank.

There is always room for improvement. We have experienced glitches in the software and the use of draft templates could be cleaner.

YAMM is the easiest and simplest mailmerge platform for Google drive. It's affordable and easy to train on.

Pricing is a little convoluted, it was easy to set up individually, but a little frustrating as a business to purchase for multiple users.

YAMM was helpful when we were first building our inside sales program, though we quickly outgrew it as a business. It's a great introduction to mail merge software and their freemium model makes it a good place to start.

We frequently ran into annoying little bugs, the UI isn't great, and you're upcharged for a lot of features that should just be in the basic subscription.

The best thing about using it is that it saves a lot of time in sending emails. One can send emails in bulk but yet personalized . It also keeps tracks of all the emails that are sent. It provides details like delivered emails, bounced emails, read emails.

I did not find any challenge while using it.

Hands down the best thing about YAMM is how easy it is do to. All you need is a Google email and a Google spreadsheet. Your spreadsheet can have as many fields as you want, name, email address (of course), hometown, age, etc. One you write the email in Google Mail (with some simple "<<>>" formatting, your spreadsheet will find the draft, and fill in all the rest. It's ready to send (don't worry you can test it first), and viola! you have a personal email campaign.

There are a couple hang ups. One is timing. You have to make sure your draft exists when you want the email campaign to run. As well, you can't send the email easily using someone else's email to route back to. Best to just start in your own account.
