Let’s prepare the GUI

As shown in the image, create a sheet and name it as “BulkEmail”. Fill rows 1 and 2 with Black color and we will use this as ribbon for our app. Create 4 buttons using shapes. This app requires 8 fields and they are To, Cc, Bcc, Subject, Message, Attachment Path, and Status.

Let’s make it functional

Copy the script into a new module and attach Subs to buttons as mentioned here

Sub	Button
BulkEmail	SEND
Use_Same_Subject	USE SAME SUBJECT
Use_Same_Message	USE SAME MESSAGE
Use_Same_Attachment	USE SAME ATTACHMENTS

Let’s test it

Add Email IDs, Subject, Messages and attachments on the sheet and click on the Send button. The last field i.e., “Status” column should show “Sent” for each row with email IDs in the sheet.

How it works?

The macro will scan and open Outlook application if it is not already open. It will then identify the last used row in the sheet and sends email for each row with attachments.

Modify it

The script now sends unformatted text email. You can modify the macro to send HTML newsletters.
