1 Tech Tip

Send Personalized Emails with Mailmeteor ✉️

Need to send 100+ personalized follow-ups after an event but don't want to spend hours copying and pasting? Here's how to handle it using Mailmeteor:

1. Set up Mailmeteor in Google Sheets:

→ Open Google Sheets

→ Click Extensions in the top menu

→ Go to Add-ons → Get add-ons

→ Search for "Mailmeteor"

→ Install

2. Create your spreadsheet with columns for:

→ First name

→ Email

→ Company

→ Any personal details you want to reference

3. Write your template using variables:

→ {firstname} for their name

→ {company} for their company

→ {personaldetail} for specific notes

The beauty of this is you can send hundreds of emails that each feel personal - perfect for event follow-ups, thank you notes, or any mass communication that shouldn't feel massive.

Perfect for:

• Event follow-ups

• Conference thank yous

• Holiday party notes

• Client appreciation messages

• Team updates

Pro tip: Add a "personaldetail" column for those little conversation notes that make follow-ups feel extra genuine. 😎
