Macro Intro
Imagine that you are a manager that receives an email every week with multiple attachments. Each attachment is dedicated for one of your ten employees and now you need to send an email to each employee with their attachment. If you find yourself on the receiving end of an email with multiple attachments that then need to be distributed to specific recipients this can be a tedious task. You could waste clicks to create multiple new emails and spending time navigating to drag and drop attachments over to each open email or you could do save time using the Outlook Create Email for each Attachment macro! This Outlook macro will loop through all the emails you have selected and create a new email for each attachment found and attach that attachment to that new email. This Outlook macro can be extremely useful if you find yourself in this situation more times than not and need a way to complete this task efficiently and effectively. If you are looking for something a bit more powerful checkout the Insider version of the Outlook Create Email for each Attachment macro. This Outlook macro will create an email for each attachment found but also reference an Excel Workbook to set the email recipient(s) based on criteria that you determine. This Insider Outlook macro will give you the option to group email attachments in an email by file type. For example, certain recipient(s) need email attachments that are .pdf while others need to receive .txt files. Not only will the Insider version of this Outlook macro save you time, but it will also ensure that you don’t make a critical mistake sending the wrong email attachment to a recipient.See it in Action
