How do I send a Mail Merge email and include the spouse?
Note: Advanced Mail Merge features (see Smart Templates) are only available in the Platinum plan.
Using a Cloze reference Custom Field you can link a spouse and children to a person. Spouse, Children, and Referred By are default fields included in many of our default configurations (e.g. Real Estate) so you don't need to create them.
Any person you link in the Spouse or Children fields can then be easily added when sending a Mail Merge email. Below are examples of reference fields:
- Spouse - link the spouse of the contact
- Children - link one or more children
- Referred By - use this field to link the person who referred you to the lead
