Insider Content
Here is the Insider code for this macro. Upon the Outlook Email Template opening you are prompted with a display of existing Contacts Groups that you can quickly add to the the Email Recipients To and/or CC field. If no Outlook Contact Groups exist then no prompts will appear. Make sure the following References are setup before running it: Visual Basic For Applications, Microsoft Outlook 16.0 Object Library
Customization
These segments of code can be customized to personalize this macro.The FolderPath variable is initially pointed to Outlook’s default folder path containing Email Templates. If you save Outlook Email Templates (.oft) files elsewhere you can update the FolderPath variable to somewhere else.
InputBoxes have a limit of 1023 characters. Anything entered beyond that will not appear in the InputBoxes which maybe confusing if you are using a large quantity of Outlook Email Templates. The easy fix is to simply shorting the email template file names so more are able to display in the InputBox.
