关于此解决方案

使用 Google 表格中的数据自动填充电子邮件模板。系统会通过您的 Gmail 账号发送电子邮件,以便您回复收件人回复。

重要提示:此邮件合并示例受Google 服务配额中所述的电子邮件限制的约束。

邮件合并示例

工作原理

您可以创建一个 Gmail 草稿模板,其中包含与 Google 表格电子表格中的数据对应的占位符。工作表中的每一列标题都代表一个占位符标记。该脚本会将电子表格中每个占位符的信息发送到电子邮件草稿中相应占位符代码的位置。

Apps Script 服务

此解决方案使用以下服务:

前提条件

如需使用此示例,您需要满足以下前提条件:

  • Google 账号(Google Workspace 账号可能需要管理员批准)。
  • 一个能够访问互联网的网络浏览器。

设置脚本

创建 Apps 脚本项目

  1. 点击以下按钮,复制 Gmail/Google 表格合并邮件示例电子表格。此解决方案的 Apps 脚本项目已附加到电子表格中。
    复制
  2. 在复制的电子表格中,将“收件人”列更新为您要在邮件合并中使用的电子邮件地址。
  3. (可选)添加、修改或移除列,以自定义要添加到电子邮件模板中的数据。

如果您更改了收件人已发送电子邮件列的名称,则必须更新 Apps Script 项目中的相应代码。您可以依次点击扩展 > Apps 脚本,从电子表格中打开 Apps 脚本项目。

创建电子邮件模板

  1. 在 Gmail 账号中,创建一个电子邮件草稿。如需在电子邮件中添加电子表格中的数据,请使用与大括号括起来的列名称对应的占位符,例如 {{First name}}
    • 如果您在电子邮件中设置文本格式,则还必须设置占位符括号的格式。
    • 占位符区分大小写,并且必须与列标题完全匹配。
  2. 复制电子邮件草稿的主题行。

运行脚本

  1. 在电子表格中,依次点击邮件合并 > 发送电子邮件。您可能需要刷新页面,此自定义菜单才会显示。
  2. 根据提示为脚本授权。如果 OAuth 意见征求界面显示此应用未经验证警告,请依次选择高级 > 前往 {Project Name}(不安全)以继续操作。

  3. 再次依次点击邮件合并 > 发送电子邮件

  4. 粘贴电子邮件模板主题行,然后点击 OK

如果您对工作表应用了过滤条件,脚本仍会向被过滤的参与者发送电子邮件,但不会添加时间戳。

修改

您可以根据需要尽情修改邮件合并自动化操作。 下面列出了您可以对源代码进行的一些可选更改。

添加“密送”“抄送”“回复”或“发件人”电子邮件参数

示例代码包含一些目前已注释掉的其他参数,可让您控制发送电子邮件的账号名称、回复电子邮件地址,以及密送和抄送电子邮件地址。

移除每个参数前面的正斜线 //,以启用您要添加的参数。

以下示例展示了 sendEmails 函数的摘录,该函数会启用大多数电子邮件参数:

GmailApp.sendEmail(row[RECIPIENT_COL], msgObj.subject, msgObj.text, {
         htmlBody: msgObj.html,
         bcc: 'bcc@example.com',
         cc: 'cc@example.com',
         from: 'from.alias@example.com',
         name: 'name of the sender',
         replyTo: 'reply@example.com',
        // noReply: true, // if the email should be sent from a generic no-reply email address (not available to gmail.com users)

在上面的示例中,由于已设置 replyTo 参数,因此 noReply 参数仍处于注释状态。

在电子邮件中添加 Unicode 字符

如果您想在电子邮件中添加 Unicode 字符(例如表情符号),则必须更新代码以使用 Mail 服务,而不是 Gmail 服务。

在示例代码中,更新以下行:

GmailApp.sendEmail(row[RECIPIENT_COL], msgObj.subject, msgObj.text, {

将该行替换为以下代码:

MailApp.sendEmail(row[RECIPIENT_COL], msgObj.subject, msgObj.text, {
