How to use mail merge

In Visma Addo it is possible to send the same document to more than one signer, combined with personal information, to efficiently obtain signatures from many signers. By using mail merge, you avoid entering personal information for each transaction manually. Mail Merge can, for example, personalize documents with individual names, addresses, or member numbers.

To use the mail merge in Visma Addo you need two documents:

• The mail merge document. The Word document which you wish to send. This document must contain merge fields for receiving the personal information you wish to insert.
• The data set contains the information you wish to merge with your Word document. The merged file must be uploaded in a CSV-format. When you have chosen a signing template and uploaded the mail merge file. You can also download a CSV template.
