Send serial emails with Excel

09.10.2018 (๐Ÿ‘23598)


 

Description:

With the following Excel file you can send emails as serial emails.

The file is for small circulars or manageable quantities up to 1000 emails per action.

It goes through a simple email address list, and an email is sent to each email address in the Email_To column from the _Text template.

The text template can be easily written in Word and inserted in the text field.

The emails are automatically transferred to Outlook and sent automatically or kept as send drafts in Outlook.

From the email address table, addresses, names, numbers and other data in the text of the email can be automatically taken over placeholders.

 

Scope of application:

This makes it easy to send serial emails to medium-sized leisure groups, clients, small newsletters in the company.

 

features:

The following Excel file can be used as a template for sending serial emails with the following features:

1) multiple attachments selectable

2) Emails can be set to CC addresses

3) All fields of the table can be adapted via wildcards in the output email and thus personalized.

3) Transmission time or transmission error as a result

 

download:

The Excel file is available for download on the CodeDocu page and the vba macro code can be used and optimized at any time.

 

Macro vba code

The vba macro code is at the connector to the image documentation.

 

Subject: Outlook, vba macro, excel template for download, serial mail, serial emails, newsletters

 

Enter station

The excel file consists of a few input fields like

Title of Email (Subject)

Sender Email address and name of the sender (Outlook)

File attachments. (Selectable via the Select button)

 

Address table

The address table has an Email_To column where to send the emails

is freely adjustable. It is important that you do not completely replace the table but only from external fills with the usual methods.

The table is saved as tblEmails as an Excel variable (Formulas-> Name Variables).

 

 

Customize email table

So you can easily expand the table to the right with the right mouse button or delete or rename the example columns Name-Location-Account-Amount.

The content of a column can be exchanged with a placeholder in the email text.

In the example you just have to insert [@Location] into the email text, so that it appears at runtime 72622 Nรผrtingen.

A placeholder is always composed of the square brackets plus a @ in addition to the column header [@Header]

         

 

Email text

The email text can be found in the Excel sheet _Text.

The text itself in then in the green text pad. Here you can either write the text directly or write in Word, adjust the color and then simply paste it into the green text box.

 

Set file attachments.

You can use the button: Select .. choose. In the file dialog: Select Files .. You can select one or more files and accept them with the dialog button: -> Select Files.

 

Final: send emails

With the button: Send Emails, the emails are then sent in the series.

In the background, Excel opens Outlook in the background and puts the emails in the list to be sent.

After completion of the dispatches, a dialog message appears: Done.

Excel status messages are sent in the left column: #Status_Send.

 

Excel name variables

The input fields and the table are set in Excel name variables.

You can find the Excel name variables under Menu-> Formulas-> Name variables. Here is also stored that the table is called tblEmails.

 

The files are then in the Outlook output

 

In Outlook at the receiver:

As you can see, the serial emails are traded in this case with the Microsoft Outlook client.

The attachments are carried along as you can see and you can also see the repacements in the text content of the actual email

 

Outlook vs. E-mail client

I use a free email client for download under the Send-Email.dll in CodeDocu.

Under Alt-F11 you get into the vba code area.

Here you can find the code under the Excel file-> Module-> Module1
