Serial Mail (with HTML) 1.1

Serial Mail enables you to send personalized emails to a group of people.

With Serial Mail you can create an email template containing certain placeholders (e.g., for the name of the recipient). You then create a list of recipients. Then, for each recipient Serial Mail replaces the placeholder by the corresponding value from the recipients address book entry an generate a personalized mail for each recipient.

Serial Mail does not replace Apple Mail. It does not send the emails. Instead each generated email is showed for review and optional editing. If accepted the generated mail is then placed in your Apple Mails outbox. In other words, Serial Mail takes your template, merges it with your Adresss Book data and puts the generated email in your Apple Mail outbox.

Use Cases

Some use cases for this app are:
- Sending personalized greetings at x-mas or new year.
- Sending personalized information to group participating in an event, e.g., a seminar, etc.
- You can use the Notes part of the recipients adress book entry to maintain info (e.g. point achieved in a test) and automatically include these notes in the generated email.
- Serial Mail is useful even without using the personalization: it allows to maintain and organize a set of HTML email templates.
- Sending Emails to a group of recipients Serial Mails sends one email per recipient, hence not showing the whole group in the To:-field.

Features

Placeholders for Recipients Address Book Data: For each recipient, Serial Mail takes the template and replaces any of the Serial Mail placeholders by the corresponding value from the recipients Adresss Book entry.

Organizing Templates: You can organize your templates in groups. To create a group or edit names or order of group tap the Group button in the template list. Note: A group can be deleted only if it is empty.
