Mail Merge Certificates as PDF attachments.

You have just conducted a training for hundreds of attendees and you want to email every attendee with a certificate of participation. This would normally be a very tedious task as standard mail-merge functionality does not allow you to create a customized attachment.

The solution I found is by using a number of Google products and an interesting add-on in the Google store called ‘Document Studio’.

This video goes through the step-by-step process:

  1. Capturing attendee data using Google Form
  2. Creating certificate using Google Slides
  3. Uploading Google Forms into Google Sheets
  4. Using Document Studio to link everything together
  5. Finally, use GMAIL to mail out customized certificates.

I hope you find this resource useful.
