이 가이드에서는 Google Docs API를 사용하여 메일 병합을 실행하는 방법을 설명합니다.
소개
메일 병합은 스프레드시트 또는 다른 데이터 소스의 행에서 값을 가져와 템플릿 문서에 삽입합니다. 이렇게 하면 병합되는 데이터로 맞춤설정된 유사한 문서를 많이 생성할 수 있는 단일 기본 문서 (템플릿)를 만들 수 있습니다. 결과는 메일이나 서식 편지에 반드시 사용되는 것은 아니지만 고객 인보이스 일괄 생성과 같은 모든 용도로 사용할 수 있습니다.
메일 병합은 스프레드시트와 워드 프로세서가 등장한 이후로 계속 사용되어 왔으며 오늘날 많은 비즈니스 워크플로의 일부입니다. 관례에 따라 다음 표와 같이 행당 하나의 레코드로 데이터를 구성하고 열은 데이터의 필드를 나타냅니다.

이 페이지의 샘플 앱은 Google Docs, Sheets, Drive API를 사용하여 메일 병합이 실행되는 세부정보를 추상화하여 사용자를 구현 문제로부터 보호하는 방법을 보여줍니다. 이 Python 샘플에 관한 자세한 내용은 샘플의 GitHub 저장소에서 확인할 수 있습니다.
샘플 애플리케이션
이 샘플 앱은 기본 템플릿을 복사한 다음 지정된 데이터 소스의 변수를 각 사본에 병합합니다. 이 샘플 앱을 사용해 보려면 먼저 템플릿을 설정하세요.
다음은 일반 텍스트나 Sheets와 같은 소스의 실제 데이터와 병합할 수 있는 자리표시자가 포함된 샘플 편지 템플릿입니다. 템플릿은 다음과 같습니다.
그런 다음 SOURCE 변수를 사용하여 일반 텍스트 또는 Sheets를 데이터 소스로 선택합니다. 샘플은 기본적으로 일반 텍스트로 설정되어 있으므로 샘플 데이터는 TEXT_SOURCE_DATA 변수를 사용합니다. Sheets에서 데이터를 가져오려면 SOURCE 변수를 'sheets'로 업데이트하고 SHEETS_FILE_ID 변수를 설정하여 Google 샘플 시트(또는 자체 시트)를 가리키도록 합니다.
형식을 확인할 수 있도록 시트의 모습은 다음과 같습니다.
Google의 샘플 데이터로 앱을 사용해 본 다음 데이터와 사용 사례에 맞게 조정하세요. 명령줄 애플리케이션은 다음과 같이 작동합니다.

[null,null,["최종 업데이트: 2025-08-29(UTC)"],[],[],null,["# Mail merge with Docs API\n\nThis guide explains how to use the Google Docs API to perform a mail merge.\n| **Note:** If you want to perform a mail merge using the Gmail web UI, see [Send personalized emails with mail\n| merge](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/12921167).\n\nIntroduction\n------------\n\nA *mail merge* takes values from rows of a spreadsheet or another data source\nand inserts them into a template document. This lets you create a single primary\ndocument (the template) from which you can generate many similar documents, each\ncustomized with the data being merged. The result isn't necessarily used for\nmail or form letters, but can be for any purpose, such as generating a batch of\ncustomer invoices.\n\nMail merge has been around for as long as there have been spreadsheets and word\nprocessors, and is part of many business workflows today. The convention is to\norganize the data as one record per row, with the columns representing fields in\nthe data, as shown in the following table:\n\n| | Name | Address | Zone |\n|---|---------|-------------|-------|\n| 1 | UrbanPq | 123 1st St. | West |\n| 2 | Pawxana | 456 2nd St. | South |\n\nThe sample app on this page shows how you can use the Google Docs,\nSheets, and Drive APIs to abstract away the\ndetails of how mail merges are performed, protecting users from implementation\nconcerns. More information on this Python sample can be found at the sample's\n[GitHub\nrepo](https://github.com/googleworkspace/python-samples/tree/main/docs/mail-merge).\n| **Note:** You must have a Google Cloud project set up so that you have credentials to make this work. More information is available in the [Python\n| quickstart](/workspace/docs/api/quickstart/python). Be sure to have the Google Drive, Docs, and Sheets APIs enabled in your project and your credentials JSON file downloaded as `credentials.json`.\n\nSample application\n------------------\n\nThis sample app copies your primary template and then merges variables from your\ndesignated data source into each of the copies. To try this sample app, first\nset up your template:\n\n1. [Create a Docs file](/workspace/docs/api/how-tos/documents). Choose the template you want to use.\n2. Note the new file's document ID. For more information, see [Document\n ID](/workspace/docs/api/concepts/document#document-id).\n3. Set the `DOCS_FILE_ID` variable to the document ID.\n4. Replace the contact information with template placeholder variables that the app will merge with the selected data.\n\nHere's a [sample letter\ntemplate](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Xycxuuv7OhEQUuzbt_Mw0TPMq02MseSD1vZdBJ3nLjk)\nwith placeholders that can be merged with real data from a source such as plain\ntext or Sheets. Here's what that template looks like:\n\n| The structure of the template variables is arbitrary. The example uses values enclosed in double braces `{{VALUE}}` because text like this is extremely unlikely to appear in document content. This style of variable placeholder naming is similar to what you'll find in most templating libraries.\n\nNext, choose either plain text or Sheets as your data source\nusing the `SOURCE` variable. The sample defaults to plain text, meaning the\nsample data uses the `TEXT_SOURCE_DATA` variable. To source data from\nSheets, update the `SOURCE` variable to `'sheets'` and point it\nto [our sample\nsheet](https://drive.google.com/open?id=18yqXLEMx6l__VAIN-Zo52pL18F3rXn0_-K6gZ-vwPcc)\n(or your own) by setting the `SHEETS_FILE_ID` variable.\n\nHere's what the sheet looks like so you can see the format:\n\nTry the app with our sample data, then adapt it to your data and use case. The\ncommand-line application works like this:\n\n- Setup\n- Fetch the data from the data source\n- Loop through each row of data\n - Create a copy of the template\n - Merge the copy with the data\n - Output link to newly-merged document\n\nAll newly merged letters also show up in the user's My Drive. An\nexample of a merged letter looks something like this:\n\n| **Note:** For documents with multiple [tabs](/workspace/docs/api/how-tos/tabs), [`ReplaceAllTextRequest`](/workspace/docs/api/reference/rest/v1/documents/request#replacealltextrequest) by default applies to all tabs. See the request documentation for more information about how to work with tabs.\n\n### Source code\n\n### Python\n\ndocs/mail-merge/docs_mail_merge.py \n[View on GitHub](https://github.com/googleworkspace/python-samples/blob/main/docs/mail-merge/docs_mail_merge.py) \n\n```python\nimport time\n\nimport google.auth\nfrom googleapiclient.discovery import build\nfrom googleapiclient.errors import HttpError\n\n# Fill-in IDs of your Docs template & any Sheets data source\nDOCS_FILE_ID = \"195j9eDD3ccgjQRttHhJPymLJUCOUjs-jmwTrekvdjFE\"\nSHEETS_FILE_ID = \"11pPEzi1vCMNbdpqaQx4N43rKmxvZlgEHE9GqpYoEsWw\"\n\n# authorization constants\n\nSCOPES = ( # iterable or space-delimited string\n \"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive\",\n \"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/documents\",\n \"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets.readonly\",\n)\n\n# application constants\nSOURCES = (\"text\", \"sheets\")\nSOURCE = \"text\" # Choose one of the data SOURCES\nCOLUMNS = [\"to_name\", \"to_title\", \"to_company\", \"to_address\"]\nTEXT_SOURCE_DATA = (\n (\n \"Ms. Lara Brown\",\n \"Googler\",\n \"Google NYC\",\n \"111 8th Ave\\nNew York, NY 10011-5201\",\n ),\n (\n \"Mr. Jeff Erson\",\n \"Googler\",\n \"Google NYC\",\n \"76 9th Ave\\nNew York, NY 10011-4962\",\n ),\n)\n\n# fill-in your data to merge into document template variables\nmerge = {\n # sender data\n \"my_name\": \"Ayme A.
