SEND PERSONALIZED MAIL-MERGED MESSAGES USING STATIONERY & SIGNATURES With Maildash, you'll be firing off emails and texts in rapid succession, using mail-merge stationery templates, without all the tedious typing. Just select a contact or group, choose a pre-formatted message, and tap Send. It’s as simple as that. For example, to tell your friend John Doe that you're running late, choose the “Be there soon” template, and tap the Send button. What gets sent is: “Hi John. I’ll be there soon. I am running a little late.” Your recipients will never know how fast and easy this was for you since all outgoing messages are personalized with names, current times, dates, greetings, and signatures. Find yourself writing to the same people or groups of people over and over again? Make your shortcuts even shorter by adding them to Maildash’s “Favorites” screen. This convenient option works like the iPhone’s phone number “Favorites”. Simply choose an address and a message, and Maildash will do the rest. Add email addresses and phone numbers to Maildash’s Favorites from: the iOS Address Book; keyboard; or by pasting multiple addresses or phone numbers into the Favorites screen. With Maildash on your iOS device, you can custom design your own stationery. If you don't see a message that fits the situation, just type your own personal template using the keyboard; or edit one of the pre-formatted phrases that have been included. Customizing your email has never been simpler. With the Template Editor, you can create your own unique phrases; and multiple formal and casual email signatures as well. Never again will you have to reduce your regular dialogue to a jumble of alphabet soup-like SMS speak and abbreviations. With Maildash, the only thing that will be abbreviated is the amount of time that it takes you to respond to them.
