Zoho Sign - Zoho CRM - Mailmerge

Zoho Sign - Zoho CRM - Mailmerge

The Zoho Sign extension already allows you to send documents required for signing, to any contact stored in Zoho CRM. Now, the extension will also help you to send customized documents using the Zoho CRM data without having ugly fixed-length placeholders. The documents will look pretty and clean. Just create a mail merge template, merge data from CRM, then send customized documents out for signing. For example, sales folks sending out the same agreement to different vendors, but with the different names, addresses, amounts, and so on.

  5. Select the folder from the drop-down list. The template will be stored in the folder that you select.
  6. Enter the description for the template.
  7. Click Create.


  1. You will be redirected to the Mail Merge Template Gallery, where you can proceed to create the template in two ways:
  2. Basic -  Build a mail merge template from the scratch.

Steps to create a template from scratch:

  1. Choose a Blank template from the Mail Merge Template Gallery.

To add subforms in a template:

  2. Go to Insert Dynamic Table in Zoho Writer.
  3. Select the subform that you would like to add in the template. A pop-up will display the list of fields in the subform.

Note: You can read this section of our Zoho CRM help document to learn more about creating and managing mail merge templates.

Make use of the Text Tags:

Zoho Sign also supports text tags. You can add them to the content of your documents and Zoho Sign will automatically add the corresponding fields when they are uploaded for the signing process. For example, when you add text tags to your sales orders, new employee contracts, and NDAs, Zoho Sign will add the corresponding fields when these documents are uploaded for the signing process. 

Note :
  1. If the recipient number is not mentioned in the document, it will be assigned to the first recipient by default.
  2. You can mark a text field and checkbox as mandatory fields using the * character.
  3. Read this section of our help documentation to learn more about text tags.
