This tool made it so easy to do a merge from a spreadsheet to a new doc, attached as a pdf and sent to a specified email.... en mass. Saved me so much time. I'm so glad I found this tool.

I've tried many mail merge add-ons, but none of them came close to the features and ease of use of Portant Data Merge. Setup was easy and it works flawlessly every time. I contacted support and was blown away with the quick and friendly response. Thanks for much for such a great add-on!

Looking to merge a list of members from a sheets workbook with a docs template to quickly produce an electronic membership list for our club. Look what I found... Worked almost. A page break between each member. A quick meeting with CEO Jeff Fyfe and that was fixed. Works very well and you gotta love the personal support. I can't imagine what more you could want.

Here, Lilia Diaz a 25 yr teacher, now a counselor. I needed to merge info to create 100 certificates. This app was really easy to use, thanks to the tutorial videos. The merge went smoothly, but I ran into printing the merge problem. Decided to use the chat with a tech feature. Got support immediately from James, who helped me resolve that issue. Very happy to have found this app add-on. Being, I had researched youtube and other merging add-ons. This was by far the easiest to use, may more success come your way Portant!

Exceptionally good at creating reports and invoices. I run a small manufacturing business and this product help me set up the invoices and daily production reports from Google Sheets. I really like the flexibility offered with various options that we can tweak. On the downside, the product is limited by timeout setup by Google, but it can easily be worked around by setting up the number of rows you have to process each time. The customer support is awesome! I had a small issue at the beginning and they helped me out really fast.

Overall great platform, Makes my life much easier!! 5 stars for the overall service and for the quick and helpful response when I had an issue with it. I highly recommend emailing the support (when you encounter a problem) instead of posting a bad review. Love the automated email block feature, especially since the service is free. Would certainly make my tasks easier especially when communicating with my customers and clients.

Enjoying this useful tool as mentioned by the developer: "Eliminate unnecessary manual work" I am a happy user who has started saving time to manually enter repetitive data for reports. Combining with google sheets, possibilities are endless, I wonder how other users are using it. Yes "Portant" is "IM PORTANT" ;-) Give it a try and you will love it!! Special Thanks to James!! for his help in setting up quickly.
