What you can do with the MailerSend Airtable integration

Connecting your MailerSend account with Airtable gives you a foolproof way to effortlessly send emails to Airtable records. There’s no need to manage your own SMTP server or manually transfer data from Airtable to your email service provider. You can also:

Send emails in bulk

Optimize email communication by sending bulk emails to an entire list you have stored on Airtable. Save time by sending the same email, automatically personalized for each individual recipient.

Improve deliverability with suppressions management

Make use of MailerSend’s suppressions list feature to automatically exclude email addresses that have hard bounced, made a spam complaint, unsubscribed, or have been added manually. Save time, protect your sender reputation and improve deliverability. 

Send professional emails with pre-made templates

Ensure your emails look and feel professional and engaging by taking advantage of MailerSend’s library of expertly designed, responsive templates. Customize your chosen design with your branding and content and then simply enter the template ID when you go to send an email in Airtable. 

Enrich your emails with HTML

Instead of plain text messages, use HTML to add style, images, color, media and links when you send Airtable mass emails. Make your email communication more engaging and increase conversions.

Use data to its full potential with personalization

Tailor email content to individual recipients with Airtable data. Send a single email template in bulk with personalization variables to populate email copy with customer data. Plus, use Airtable filters to create highly targeted segments to ensure the right emails go to the right people.

Best practices for sending emails to Airtable records with MailerSend

1. Test your emails. We’ve made it really easy to start sending emails to your whole list, but it’s important to test out new emails and templates first. MailerSend easily lets you send test emails from the templates section in the app. Just go to Templates, select your email and click Manage, then click Test. 

2. Monitor performance metrics. Track open and click rates and conversions to see which of your emails and content resonates the most with your customers. Use this data to refine your transactional email strategy. You can also use split testing to test different variations of email templates. 

3. Maintain healthy email lists. To protect your sender reputation and deliverability, it’s important to keep a clean and healthy email list. MailerSend helps with this by using suppression lists to automatically exclude hard bounces and more. But, to keep your recipient list in the best condition, make sure you regularly verify your email lists and remove invalid emails.
