It’s amazing. I’ve used it for years.

I've been using YAMM for over a year now. I've used it for investor / stakeholder updates, team updates, etc. In terms of efficiency, I save a boatload of time and can keep track of who is getting my messages.

It's the best of it's class.

Pros:

It's a life saver. I personalize all of my emails and have a huge conversion rate

Cons:

Cons? None.

Romain Vialard
Thanks for sharing your use cases!!!

Very good for spamming....err, I mean outreach at scale

Pros:

Straightforward, cheap, effective

Cons:

Has gotten slow

Romain Vialard
It is indeed a bit slower than it used to be. Sadly, there's nothing we can do about that, it's due to an internal change at Google related to the Gmail API. We have documented the expected duration based on the number of emails you want to send: https://support.yet-another-mail... And if you want to send many emails, we usually advise to use our scheduling feature (so you can schedule your merge and close the app, without having to wait for all emails to be sent). Note that as emails are sent by Google / Gmail, they are monitoring the emails you are sending and they can block your Gmail account if you are really sending spam to many people. https://support.yet-another-mail...

I set it up within minutes. The google sheets integration is smooth. Sent out campaign to 300+ in one day with personalization and scheduling. The feature set is pretty expansive. Looking forward to use the Saleforce integration. If it works well, that would be epic! Very straightforward to use and measure success

Meanwhile I think an onboarding guide will really help after setting up the account. Somehow I missed it and had to spend a bit of time to understand how to setup my first campaign.

Pros:

1. Simple yet powerful features. The essential features for a mass email campaign are all there.

2. Seamless integration with Google Sheets

Cons:

There is no simple guide when onboarding

Romain Vialard
True, even if YAMM is loved for its simplicity, we could provide more ressources to new users to help them get started. At the end of last year, we rebuilt our documentation and a 'Send your first campaign with YAMM' guide is available there: https://support.yet-another-mail... We also have the same guide available as a video tutorial since a few months:
And both ressources are shared in the "Welcome email" we send to new users. In addition to that we plan to: - detect when it's the first time someone is using YAMM and offer a step-by-step tutorial in the app directly. - advise users who visit our documentation for the first time to check the guide and some other useful ressources before anything else

Been using this for over a year, actually -- it's just simple and easy and I don't know why anyone uses anything else.

Pros:

Better than any other mail merge and constantly improving it

Cons:

None?

Straight forward mail merge with google sheets and gmail.

Pros:

Super easy and works with GMAIL

Cons:

It doesn't work with email tracking plugins I am using and I think I have started hitting spam folders.

Romain Vialard
Thank you. What email tracking plugins are you using? May be we can improve. If better, don't hesitate to continue the discussion in private and email us at support@yet-another-mail-merge.com

Great product @romain_vialard1 ! Pros: Very easy integration with Google Sheets and Gmail. Cons: Minor glitches when filtering rows to send emails. I have been a long-time user of YAMM and love it!
Romain Vialard
@nikhilsamuel Thank you. We do try to make the best integration possible using all the APIs Google is providing. When Google offered the ability to play with filtered rows in Google Sheets we did our best to leverage that and provide useful new features to our users. What issues did you had with filtered rows? Maybe we can improve our current implementation. If better, don't hesitate to continue the discussion in private and email us at support@yet-another-mail-merge.com
Nikhil Samuel
@yet @romain_vialard1 When I send a test email with rows filtered, the email I get it to emails that are not in the filtered list so it's a bit confusing.
Romain Vialard
@yet @nikhilsamuel Ah that's right, currently we always use the second row of the sheet as the test row, without taking filters into account. And you are right, it can be confusing, we will fix that.
Romain Vialard
@nikhilsamuel now the test row is the first in the filtered list (instead of always the second row -not taking filters into account). Can you check if it's working as expected for you?

This is a fantastic product that I have relied on for years.

Used YAMM on and off for a few years now when a more personalised mail merge approach is required. Have used it on mailouts to several thousand people eg. for invites (all optin in case you were wondering).

The mail merging is great, the integration between sheets and Gmail is pretty straightforward and once you get into some of the dynamic stuff sheets can do, there's all sorts of ways of using it: custom links, attachments, event custom pre-filled forms.

It's pretty quick, too, even for sends with hundreds of email addresses. Downside is that you can get yourself in to trouble if you're not careful about making sure you're OK to send to those emails, especially when new stricter data protection rules are coming in across Europe and California. Make sure you've got permission to send and respect opt-outs!

Only niggle is that if I want to send multiple campaigns from the same spreadsheet, YAMM sometimes can't find the email addresses, even when following the instructions, but there's ways round this (duplicating the sheet), however it's sometimes useful to keep all the YAMM campaigns on a single sheet with different columns for each email sent.

Use YAMM for personal touch.

Use others eg. Mailchimp, etc for bulk emails.

In summary, excellent product, good support, well worth it.

Pros:

Flexible, simple to use with tools I know already, cheap to use, great support

Cons:

Bit fiddly with spreadsheet filters, managing unsubs / bounces is a manual process

Romain Vialard
Thanks for the positive review. It will greatly help, if you could send us at support@yet-another-mail-merge.com your specific queries about spreadsheet filters and your suggestion on what could be improved with unsubscribes/bounces.
Halyna Divakova
Awesome! Can't wait to give it a try!
Romain Vialard
@kengu_rut please try, do you already know where YAMM could help you?
Halyna Divakova
@romain_vialard1 Yes, doing exactly what it offers.
Jesse Radonski

I've mostly used YAMM for quick updates to people I've previously corresponded with. Though I have the option to insert their names into the emails all fancy-like, I usually err on the side of caution and write universal email drafts for everyone I'm sending to. Great app!

Pros:

An easy way to email people quick updates that usually hit an inbox instead of a promotions box.

Cons:

Takes a little getting used to when onboarding (as with any tech product)

Romain Vialard
Thank you! We are improving our documentation constantly and your feedback helps.
Abadesi
@romain_vialard1 YAMM was always so useful for me doing biz dev in startups I worked at - thanks for making such a time-saving product 🙌🏾
Romain Vialard
@abadesi Thank you! In how many startups did you use it ? :)
Andrey Azimov
Great tool! I'm using it for a couple of month. Thanks you for making it!
James Seely
I love YAMM. It's the only mail marge I've found that does cc's. Great for sending quick and personal email campaigns.
Liz Savery

I've been using this for a little more than a year. Love the tracking features, love the separate folders in my inbox, plus, it's reasonably priced.

Pros:

It's easy to use, works perfectly every time, and helps to keep me organized.

Cons:

Honestly can't think of any. Worth every nickel.

Romain Vialard
Thank you.
Charles Le Corsaire

nothing, it's fine tool

Pros:

simplicyty

Cons:

Maybe the dashboard

Romain Vialard
Thanks for your feedback
Wayne Willis

I use it to personalize messages and deliver different information to different members of my group. It's very flexible and easy. The messages look like they are hand-crafted from my personal account. The free-mium business model allows you to see how it will work for you before paying the very modest amount for a subscription.

Pros:

Very easy to use -- very intuitive. Superb value-for-money.

Cons:

I'm still a bit puzzled about SPF records and what I need to do to improve deliverability.

Romain Vialard
Thanks for your review. We have a documentation on how the G Suite admin can configure / set up a valid SPF record : https://support.yet-another-mail... Our support team will be contacting you soon on this.
Brian Jagger

My whole team and I have been using the yet another mail merge tool for over a year for prospecting campaigns, follow-up campaigns with customers, sending newsletters, nurturing affiliates and many others. I recommend YAMM constantly to friends outside the company as well, since it's extremely useful! Keep up the good work!

Pros:

It's straightforward, quick and extremely efficient! I love the open rate & the clicks feature!

Cons:

I can't think of any
