Auto Mail merge ability??

Hi Chris

Here are a couple of options.

You are not able to schedule a Mail Merge itself but you can schedule the output of the data to be used in the Merge.

I’m not an MS Apps guru, but I’m wondering if it’s possible to force Word to open and run through the merge process using the Excel data saved by Tessitura  scheduled report process?

If you do manage to get Word to do this please let us all know!

Cheers

Sandra

Thanks Sandra J

We have done a bit more investigation into methods and the best found so far would be to save the output of a report to a specific location, then a coded VBS script (for example) runs through the process of opening, merging and saving the merged documents / or print them. This program can then be applied to a scheduled job that runs at some point after the reports have been generated each week (for example).

This is a possibility we may look into a little more and it appears to be a sound solution??

Regards

Chris

Hia

I am wondering if anyone is able to advise if there is an auto-mail merge ability within Tessitura at all?

We are trying to streamline a few of our manual processes and the ability to be able to schedule a report and mail merge the results to either a bunch of saved merged word documents or directly to the printer would be brilliant?

I have a suspicion that if it is possible at all, it is going to be something more to do with the Microsoft apps side – but am wondering if anybody has this kind of thing setup and running anywhere else?

Chris
