Mail Merge for Bulk Email

Mail merge lets you send emails that are personalized for each recipient.

A merge field is a field you can put in an email template to incorporate values from a record . For example, you can place a merge field in an email template so that the greeting includes the recipient’s name rather than a generic “Hello!”.

RunPTO has predefined merge fields which you can include in your email.

  • x:name – Name of the recipient
  • x:pname – Name of the Parent Teacher Organization/Booster Club
  • x:cal – Calendar
  • x:board – List of Board/Chairpersons
  • x:news – Newsletter
  • x:min – Meeting Minutes
  • x:mform – Membership Signup Form
  • x:sform -Signup Forms
  • x:form -Volunteer Signip
  • x:dir -Student Directory
  • x:reg – Student Registration form
  • x:login -RunPTO Login link
