/ Published in: PHP
Save to your folder(s)
Mail merge allows you to produce document (potentially large numbers of documents) from a single template and a structured data source. The letter may be sent out to many recipients with small changes, such as a change of address or a change in the greeting line. It can also be used to generate business reports, purchase orders, receipts, catalogs, inventories, and invoices etc.



Aspose.Words for Cloud Mail Merge allows you to generate documents from a template and XML in any language including .NET, Java, PHP, Ruby, Rails, Python, jQuery and many more. You can use it with any language or platform that supports REST. (Almost all platforms and languages support REST and provide native REST clients to work with REST API).



This post covers mail merge in PHP, you can check Aspose.Words for Cloud documentation for other languages.
