Hey there,


We built a Mail Merge add-on for Airtable. Check it out!



You can send personalized emails based on information in your base. It’s open-source (< 30 lines of Python), so you can edit how the entire add-on works yourself too.


Here’s how to enable it:


Step 1

Install Blockspring Scripts for Chrome.


Step 2

Go to a base. You might need to refresh the page once you get there if you just installed the extension.


Step 3

Click the icon in the bottom left to open the scripts editor.



Step 4

Import the “Mail merge” template.


Step 5

Wait for the template to install. This may take a bit the first time.


Step 6

Sign in with Gmail.




Step 7

Close the editor then click on mail_merge in your base.


Step 8

Fill out the form! You’ll need to select a column of emails, enter a subject line, and then write your email template (check out the video below for examples - it uses the mustache library).


Here’s a video showing how the add-on works.


Enjoy! And shoot us some feedback once you get a chance to try it out.


PS - if you want to change the code behind the add-on, just click back on the icon and edit away.

I tried to get it to work, but never received any response. No Icon in my base and nothing happens. I think this product is over.
