Iris

From a contact list to a ready email campaign, without a spreadsheet in between.

Point Iris at a PDF, Excel, CSV, Word or text file: it extracts every company/email-address pair, fills in a template with the company name in the right place, and delivers the whole batch over a single SMTP connection.

If you'd rather not send right away, Iris can write each message to disk instead — as an .msg file for Outlook on Windows, or a standard .eml everywhere else — ready for a manual review before it goes out.

The name, in myth

Iris was the messenger of the gods in Greek mythology, the personification of the rainbow: she crossed the sky to carry swift, precise messages between Olympus and earth. The name fits a tool that delivers that same message, personalized, to dozens of different recipients.

  • Automatically extracts company name and email address, regardless of column order
  • Personalizes the subject and body with each recipient's company name
  • Attaches the same file to every email in the batch
  • Sends over SMTP with SSL/TLS, STARTTLS or plain, with or without authentication
  • Tests the connection to the server before sending anything
  • Generates .msg or .eml files instead of sending, for an offline review
Processing: the file with companies and addresses, and the recipients list
