New File in Your Dropbox Folder? Run a Mail Merge in Make. Six Steps, Fully Automated!
Drop a Word template (e.g. simple_mail_merge_template.docx) into a Dropbox folder and keep a JSON file (e.g. sample_mail_merge_data.json) in the same place. When a new file appears, Make can run a mail merge automatically: find the JSON, call PDF4me – Generate Document (Template File Type: Mail Merge), then upload the result as Word and again as PDF. Six modules. Trigger-based. No manual run.
This guide is fact-checked against real Make screenshots: New File in Folder, Find Json Data File, Generate Document (template + data file or data text), and Upload File (with folder path, file name, and extension).
