SendView – Mail merge from Airtable/GSheets, sends through your email
by jbrake·Feb 26, 2026·3 points·0 comments
AI Analysis
●●SolidSolve My ProblemCozy
Zero third-party email service, fuzzy variable mapping, preview-before-send, but Zapier+SendGrid solves this.
Strengths
- •Strong UX focus: per-recipient email preview eliminates embarrassing mistakes before send
- •Local credential encryption (Electron safeStorage) + express server fork keeps data off third-party servers
- •Fuzzy matching auto-maps template variables to column names, reducing friction in setup
Weaknesses
- •Desktop-only (Electron) limits accessibility vs web apps; competitive with Zapier/SendGrid for users wanting zero setup
- •Limited differentiation: one-time purchase pricing is good, but mail merge itself is a solved problem

Post Description
I built a mail merge tool that connects to Airtable views, Google Sheets, or CSV files and sends personalized emails through your own Gmail or SMTP account.
The problem I was solving: I had contact lists in Airtable and needed to send personalized emails — but didn’t want to stitch together something with Zapier + SendGrid and I didn’t want my data flowing through a third-party email service. I wanted something that reads from the spreadsheet, lets me write a Handlebars template with variables and conditionals, preview every email, and send directly.
Tech: Electron + React + Express. Desktop mode encrypts credentials locally with safeStorage, forks the Express server as a child process. Airtable integration parses view URLs and respects view filters/column visibility. Fuzzy matching (Fuse.js) auto-maps template variables to column names.
One-time purchase, 14-day free trial.

Free OSS cold email bulk sender and management
Connect your own SMTP, import a CSV, create templates and bulk-send small batches while keeping a record of who you've messaged — that's the explicit promise and it's refreshingly focused. The UI in the signup screenshot is tidy and usable, but the space is crowded: without built-in deliverability tools, analytics, or scheduling this mostly replaces scripts and spreadsheets rather than upending outreach tooling.
