Way to mail merge to send attachments
hello
I hope you are well. Is there a way to use Outlook to merge attachments. For example if I have a list of certificates that I want to send to people (they are in PDF format) - is there a way to do a mail merge that allows me to send the correct certificate to the correct person. I am aware there are third party tools to do this but is there anyway within Outlook (maybe using Power Automate?) that would allow me to do that. Thank you

1. Use Word's Mail Merge feature to create emails.
2. If you need to add attachments, you can add them manually, email by email, or use a third-party tool (such as Mail Merge Toolkit or AbleBits Mail Merge) to add attachments automatically.
3. Ensure that the data source contains a field for the path or filename of the attachment so that it can be referenced during the merge.
4. if the mail volume is small, adding attachments manually is a simple and straightforward method; if the mail volume is large, it is recommended to use a third-party tool to improve efficiency.”Thanks for the reply. I'm OK with doing mail merge and adding the attachments manually. I was trying to see if there was a way to automate it more within the Outlook environment. Thanks for your tips. Much appreciated.
