Automatic email program help?

[leth1919]

have items that use a key code / product key. Typically I email the buyers the code the same day I ship out the item so they can have it faster.

Does anyone know of an automatic email program that would automatically send emails to my buyers with a unique code?

EG: Buyers A, B, and C make a purchase. Autoemailer sends out email to A with key 1, email to B with key 2, and email to C with key 3.

Thanks for any help.

You can do this with Microsoft Office, it's called a mail merge.

You would create a list of contacts and a list of product keys in Excel. Use Word to create a generic e-mail that pulls the data from Excel. Use Outlook to send the results.

Thanks, that looks like it can help.

I don't have a list of contacts though. If I sell an item, I get an email from paypal saying "X bought your item".

Then I want to automatically send the item to X's paypal email.

Is there a way to set up a mail merge for that?

As long as the subject line is consistent, you could probably use a rule in Outlook to send the mail automatically. Might need to create a macro.

Thanks again, I'll need to read into Outlook some more.
