Zoho Recruit | Mail Merge Templates

Mail Merge Templates

Mail merge is a function that helps simplify repetitive tasks to create personalized documents (including forms, letters, address labels, and envelopes). You can create a mail merge template containing variables (merge fields) and use it to merge data from Zoho Recruit and create merged documents the values for the variables automatically inserted.

For example, you may have to send personalized letters to candidates or create templates for service level agreements or other legal documents. In these cases, you do not need to manually type the details of each lead to personalize the letters or agreements. Instead, you can create a template with the merge fields from the Candidates module and merge the data to get all the personalized letters.
