Replacement Process for mailing without for Microsoft Integration

Delia Gordon

Does anyone have a process of which they can share with creating letters now that the Microsoft integration is no longer available? We used to be able to create a letter for each donor through Actions, but that is no longer the case. Does anyone have a workaround that they can share?

@Delia Gordon You can query on your actions and export the file to excel then do the mail merge using Microsoft Word.

@Delia Gordon What kind of letters were you creating?

@Delia Gordon - You could set-up a custom button/tile through SKY Developer that talks with a Power Automate flow that could accomplish generating a letter from a gift record within Web View. Here's instructions from BB on how to accomplish this as well as a FREE on-demand training course to learn about Power Automate:
