This is how the message should look in the email:
This is my Excel sheet:
I have an Excel file with columns from A to M, A being Payer, and M being the email address. I need a macro to sort by email address and create an email with the data associated with that email address.
I need a message on the email that reads:
Hello team,
Please review the items below and provide your comments for the invoices due in the account regarding payment details, let us know if there is additional information needed from our end so that we can send it as soon as possible.
That message would have to be able to be changed and my signature at the end.
The data on the columns is:
A Payer
B Name
C Invoice Number
D Bill. Date
E Net due date
F Days past due
G Aging
H Value
I Cust. Mat.
J PO Number
K Bill.Doc.
L Delivery
M Email
I would like to be able to check the emails before sending them.
This is a handy piece of code that includes your default signature in an email.
It is also possible to add attachements (just to keep in mind). You will need to play with it using the .diplay property until it looks pretty and the info you need included is all being pulled in correctly.
You can then create another sub to to iterate though each line of data you have and send those emails.
Option Explicit
Sub EmailIncludingSignature()
Dim eSubject As String
Dim eRecipient As String
Dim eBody As String
Dim SAVELOC As String
Dim objOutlook As Object
Dim objEmail As Object
Dim objAttachment As Object
Dim S As String
'Setup Email
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objEmail = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
'Set objAttachment = objEmail.Attachments
'objAttachment.Add SAVELOC & ".pdf"
'Email Signature
S = Environ("appdata") & "\Microsoft\Signatures\"
If Dir(S, vbDirectory) <> vbNullString Then S = S & Dir$(S & "*.htm") Else S = ""
S = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetFile(S).OpenAsTextStream(1, -2).ReadAll
'Email parameters
eSubject = "Test Email Signature"
eRecipient = "cameron.critchlow#westinbearmountain.com"
eBody = "" & _
"<br>Hi All,<br><br>" & _
"Last line,<br><br>" & S
'Build Email
With objEmail
.To = eRecipient
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = eSubject
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML ' send plain text message
.HTMLBody = eBody
.Display
'.Send
End With
End Sub
Do you have experience with VBA? does the above make sense?

I'm using VBA to make automating emails from Excel to outlook however when I'm running my code it show compile error: variable not defined
I'm trying using from this source : https://beebole.com/blog/automating-emails-from-excel-employee-bonus/#copy
But, I only use Name, First Name, Send To, Email Subject, Email Body and Single-Send Link. For my Email Subject and Email Body I don't use any formula.
This my code in VBA
MY table for single-send link having an error
Formula in excel :
=HYPERLINK(“mailto:“&[#[Send To]]&”?subject=”&[#[Email Subject]]&”&body=”&[#[Email Body]],”SEND”)

Can anyone help me to solve this problem
I am working on a project where I need to "draft" 5 emails, attach them to another email, and then send this nested email to a coworker.
My issue is that the 5 attached emails do not show a subject line. I wrote a little tester where the subject lines are also lost during the attaching
Private Sub emailtest()
'Declare Variables
Dim EmailMain As Outlook.MailItem
Dim EmailSub As Outlook.MailItem
Dim j As Long
'Create the main email object
Set EmailMain = Outlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With EmailMain
.To = "fake#fakeemail.org"
.Subject = "Testing Main"
.Body = "testing testing"
End With
'creating 5 email objects
For j = 1 To 5
'Create the sub email to be attached to the main email
Set EmailSub = Outlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
'Details for this sub email
With EmailSub
.To = ""
.Subject = "Test: " & j
.Body = "Testing Nest: " & j
End With
'Attach the email to the main email
EmailMain.Attachments.Add EmailSub
Next j
EmailMain.Display
End Sub
After running this the displayed email has 5 emails, but they are all blank. No subject, no body, nothing.
Any help is appreciated.
You need to save the message being added as an attachment before it is attached:
EmailSub.Save
EmailMain.Attachments.Add EmailSub
When I send an assignment to students, I create an individualized file I want each student to work on. I generate the files using VBA and Excel.
I put Outlook in "Work Offline" mode so I can make sure the e-mails have the correct attachments before I put Outlook back online. I usually then hit the "send/receive all folders" button so they'll go out immediately while I'm watching.
This works at work where I have Outlook configured with just my work e-mail.
On Outlook at home (the installed app on a Windows 10 machine), I have two accounts configured.
Account #1 is a personal e-mail from a personal domain.
Account #2 is my e-mail account for work.
I want to generate e-mails like I do at work, and for them to go in the outbucket of my work account. I would then send them from there.
However, they go into the outbucket of my personal account. I don't want students to get an e-mail from an unrecognized sender. Nor do I want them replying to those e-mails.
The code to create e-mails:
Sub makemail()
Dim strLocation As String
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim OutAccount As Object
Range("a1").Activate
eaddy = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 4).Value 'student's e-mail address in a worksheet
IndivFile = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 8).Value 'this is an identifier for the student's individual file
LastName = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value ' student's last name
Do Until ActiveCell.Value = ""
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
Set OutAccount = OutApp.Session.Accounts.Item(1)
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = eaddy
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = LastName & " (text that describes the assignment)"
.Body = "(body of message)"
strLocation = "(location of the individual attachments" & IndivFile & ".xlsx"
.Attachments.Add (strLocation)
.Send
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
Set OutAccount = Nothing
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
End With
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
eaddy = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 4).Value
IndivFile = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 8).Value
LastName = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
Loop
End Sub
It dumps the generated e-mails into the outbucket of account #1: my personal account.
I tried replacing .Send with .SendUsingAccount = OutApp.Session.Accounts.Item(2)
Putting anything in the parentheses (including a 0 or 1) will mean I don't see the output in either outbucket. (No idea if the e-mails even generated. they're probably sitting in some directory I haven't looked in.)
So, I just generated all the e-mails and they showed up in my personal account's outbucket.
I selected them all and dropped them into the outbucket of my work account.
I clicked the "send/receive" and they won't go anywhere.
If I open each e-mail individually and click the "send" button in the e-mail, they go. I see them in my sent folder.
I don't know that much about Outlook. I wonder if this is some sort of mismatched certificate problem on the e-mails? But if that were the case, why don't they go in bulk, but will go if sent individually with the e-mail open?
I just tested. if the e-mails are marked read or unread, it makes no difference.
I did set my work-email as the primary in Outlook (File > Account Settings > Designate one account as the primary one.
My questions:
Is there a way, code-wise, to put this in the second account's outbucket (work)?
Keep in mind that .SendUsingAccount = OutApp.Session.Accounts.Item(2) did not work.
If I can't do that, is there a way to change my e-mail accounts so the work one is #1?
Other than deleting and re-installing in a specific order?
I did go in and make the work-email my primary e-mail.
Why won't they send in one outbucket (because they were dragged and dropped from another outbucket), but will send if you open them individually?
It seems you just need to set/change the default account in Outlook.
See How To Set An Email Account As The Default Account In Outlook? for more information.
Also, you can use the SendUsingAccount property of Outlook items which sets an Account object that represents the account under which the MailItem is to be sent. The SendUsingAccount property can be used to specify the account that should be used to send the MailItem when the Send method is called.
Sub SendEmailFromAccount(ByVal application As Outlook.Application, _
ByVal subject As String, ByVal body As String, ByVal recipients As String, ByVal smtpAddress As String)
' Create a new MailItem and set the To, Subject and Body properties.
Dim newMail As Outlook.MailItem = DirectCast(application.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem), Outlook.MailItem)
newMail.To = recipients
newMail.Subject = subject
newMail.Body = body
' Retrieve the account that has the specific SMTP address.
Dim account As Outlook.Account = GetAccountForEmailAddress(application, smtpAddress)
' Use this account to send the email.
newMail.SendUsingAccount = account
newMail.Send()
End Sub
Function GetAccountForEmailAddress(ByVal application As Outlook.Application, ByVal smtpAddress As String) As Outlook.Account
' Loop over the Accounts collection of the current Outlook session.
Dim accounts As Outlook.Accounts = application.Session.Accounts
Dim account As Outlook.Account
For Each account In accounts
' When the email address matches, return the account.
If account.SmtpAddress = smtpAddress Then
Return account
End If
Next
End Function
Okay, found it out. Part of it depended on going to Tools > References and then making sure I've got Microsoft Outlook 16.0 Object Library is selected. Granted, you can do this without early bindings, but it seemed to help.
Here is the code I eventually came up with:
Sub makemail()
Range("a1").Activate
eaddy = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 4).Value
IndivFile = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 8).Value
LastName = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
Dim objOutlook As Object
Dim objMail As Object
Worksheets("Rollcall").Activate
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Dim oAccount As Outlook.Account
Set oAccount = Outlook.Application.Session.Accounts(1)
Debug.Print oAccount
If oAccount = "outlook account you want to use" Then
Debug.Print ("condition true")
'Main Logic ============================================
Do Until ActiveCell.Value = ""
Set objMail = objOutlook.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
With objMail
.To = eaddy
'.CC = ""
'.BCC = ""
.Subject = (your subject)
.Body = "your outgoing message"
strLocation = "(location of attachment"
.Attachments.Add (strLocation)
Set .SendUsingAccount = oAccount
.Send
End With
Set objMail = Nothing
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
eaddy = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 4).Value
IndivFile = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 8).Value
LastName = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
Loop
Set objOutlook = Nothing
End If
End Sub
I am trying to pull email addresses from a column in an Excel Data table and have those email addresses be the receiver of email based on a template.
Code I made below.
Sub Mail_experiment()
Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutMail As Outlook.Mailtem
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set = OutMail
OutApp.CreatItemFromTemplate("C:\Users\Name\Documents\Project\PO Accrual Support Email Template.oft")
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = "J.Doe#gmail.com"
.CC = ""
.BC = ""
.Subject = ""
.Save
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
All separate emails will be sent later, hence .Save. Also, I am attempting to pull what would be the subject line of the email from another column in the data table.
How would I achieve both concepts with what I have so far?
You should create a function that returns a new MailItem based on your template. In this way, you will be able to test the new MailItem separately without having to run the complete code.
I like to enumerate my excel columns. This makes it both easier to refer to the correct column and to update the code if the column order is changed.
Option Explicit

'.Cells(.Rows.Count, ecEmailAdresses).End(xlUp).Row: returns the Row number of the last used cell in column 3
For r = 2 To .Cells(.Rows.Count, ecEmailAdresses).End(xlUp).Row
getPOAccrualTemplate(MailTo:=.Cells(r, ecEmailAdresses), Subject:=.Cells(r, ecEmailAdresses)).Save
Next
End With
End Sub

Video Tutorials
These are two videos from my favorite VBA tutorial series that are relevant:
Excel VBA Introduction Part 5 - Selecting Cells (Range, Cells, Activecell, End, Offset)
Excel VBA Introduction Part 26 - Constants and Enumerations (Const, Enum)
You should just slightly refactor your code. The macro sending the email should take (at least) the email adress and the subject in parameter:
Sub Mail_experiment(ByVal address As String, ByVal subject As String)
Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutMail As Outlook.Mailtem
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set = OutMail
OutApp.CreatItemFromTemplate("C:\Users\Name\Documents\Project\PO Accrual Support Email Template.oft")
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = address '<-- use the input here
.CC = ""
.BC = ""
.Subject = subject '<-- use the input here
.Save
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
Hence, supposing you have the email addresses in the column A and the subjects in the column B (from 1 to 10, for example), you'd just need to call the macro in a loop:
For j = 1 To 10
Mail_experiment Range("A" & j), Range("B" & j)
Next j
The above will call the Mail_experiment macro 10 times, each time passing a new parameter (A1 - B1, then A2 - B2 etc.)
I'm somewhat new to VBA programming so please bear with me. I'm trying to automate the job of emailing my organization's department heads with a standard email but a personalized audit memos. Each email sent to a certain person should also contain the corresponding attachment.
I have a spreadsheet with three columns: name, email address, and the location of the file I'd like to attach in A, B, and C respectively. I've represented this the best I can below.
A....................B..................C
Name.............Email............Attachment
John Smith.....a#b.com.....Q:\PLIU\File1
Jane Smith.....c#d.com.....Q:\PLIU\File2
Jimm Smith.....e#f.com.....Q:\PLIU\File3
This is the code I have so far but I cannot figure out how to attach the file written into the attachment column, as debug gives me "Cannot find this file. Verify the path and filename are correct."
Sub AttachSend()
Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim intX As Integer
Dim FileCount As Integer
Dim MailAttachment As String
Dim MailAddress As String
FileCount = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("C2:C200"))
For intX = 1 To FileCount
MailAttachment = Application.Cells(intX, 3).Value
MailAddress = Application.Cells(intX, 2).Value
Set objMail = Outlook.Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
objMail.Subject = "My subject line"
objMail.Body = "My message body"
objMail.To = MailAddress
objMail.Attachments.Add "MailAttachment"
objMail.Send
Set objMail = Nothing
Next
End Sub
Thanks in advance!
Remove the quotes around "MailAttachment". You want to use the MailAttachment variable, but currently you're using the string "MailAttachment", which of course does not exist as a file on disk.
MailAttachment = Application.Cells(intX, 3).Value
MailAddress = Application.Cells(intX, 2).Value
Set objMail = Outlook.Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
objMail.Subject = "My subject line"
objMail.Body = "My message body"
objMail.To = MailAddress
objMail.Attachments.Add MailAttachment `Remove quotes on this line
