Google Shared Account - Using Yet Another Mail Merge with a Google shared account

How to use Yet Another Mail Merge with a Google Shared Account. Some of the functionality will come from your own UMD google account, so read carefully!
  1. Using these IT Support Instructions first, configure "send as" from your @umd.edu account to send-as the Google Shared Inbox address in question.
    1. For example, if I am trying to send-as "eit-itops@umd.edu," I must configure that from my own @umd.edu account settings. 

  2. Then, from your @umd.edu account, create the template you'd like to use for your mail merge, and save it:

  3. Install YAMM from here using your @umd.edu account.

  4. Create or open your Google Sheet containing your mail merge information. This can be done from any UMD Google Sheet, regardless of whether it is stored in your own UMD Google Drive, or in a UMD Shared GDrive. In our example, we're using a sheet out of the "IT Operations" shared Google drive. 

  5. From the spreadsheet with your data, start up YAMM:
    starting up yamm

  6. Click on "+ Alias, filters, personalized attachments...". Select the Google Shared Inbox address as the "Send From" and set the "Reply-to address" if you'd like replies to go to that Shared Inbox:
    click on alias, etcset sender and reply to

  7. Click "Back," choose the Email template to use, and then "Send" to start the mail merge.
    choose email template

  8. The emails will send as the "Sender Name," with the email Template you chose, "from" the "Send From:" address you chose in the YAMM alias settings window.
