Document & Email Merge
I love the multi-step reporting tools with the "mail merge" feature that lets me generate very user-friendly reports for different audiences.
I hadn't really gotten into your merge tool until recently, and I was testing several other apps at the same time. I found yours to be the easiest, simplest, and no-frills in a really good way that I think will allow my clients a quicker learning curve. So, thanks!
We use Document Merge for generating orders from Opportunities with Products, and my CFO is delighted to be able to generate Excel pivot reports in real-time with the click of a mouse.
Apsona's mail merge tool is extremely powerful and flexible. I've always been able to find a way to grab all of the fields I need for a seamless merge.
God, I LOVE Apsona! I use it for mail merges, importing data, updating existing data, etc... It truly is indispensable.

The email component of the merging tool uses Salesforce’s built-in single-email-messaging service. Currently, this service limits you to a maximum of 5,000 email messages per day per user.
When you generate a Word or Excel document with the Apsona tool, your data never leaves your Salesforce org. All data traffic happens between your browser and the Salesforce database using the Secure Sockets Layer connection, and the document is generated entirely within your browser. There is no third-party service involved. This architecture is quite different from other document generation tools on AppExchange (such as Conga or Drawloop), which need to transmit your data to their servers in order to prepare the documents. This architecture also enables Apsona to generate and deliver documents much more quickly than other products.
When you generate a PDF file, however, we have to make an exception. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to convert a Word or Excel document to PDF format entirely within the browser. For this reason, PDF conversion relies on an external service that we provide. However, we ensure that the data transmitted to this service is limited to the content of the generated Word document, and nothing else. And, of course, that the communication happens entirely over the Secure Sockets Layer, with safeguards in place to guard against cross-site scripting and similar attacks.
If you don’t already have Apsona for Salesforce installed, please install it by visiting our AppExchange listing. If you’d like to add a particular add on license, you can install it directly from the App Exchange. Please use the feedback link and support form to request a sample of Scheduler Runs and any questions about installing.
The merge tool handles Word .docx format and can produce pdf files. The Excel generator requires .xlsx format. The older .doc and .xls formats are not supported, but you can use the Microsoft’s Office Compatibility Pack to circumvent this limitation.
