Some organisations like to merge their receipts and documents with Microsoft Word Documents. There are two options for doing this:
- The Salesforce Merge feature
2. 3rd Party specialist Mail Merge documents
These options are outside of the scope of Payments2Us. This guide provides an overview of this option, should you wish to have further assistance, then you can engage Payments2Us Professional Services - contact info@payments2us.com for more details.
Like a MS Word document, data from Salesforce CRM can be mail merged into the text component of receipts and membership notifications. This procedure shows how to produce a merged document for a selected individual.
