title: Auto mail merge using Automator, Filemaker, Word and Mail
body: <p>I am using a mac and..
  I want to know if it is possible to set up some automator scripts that </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>search a filemaker database for contacts who match a certain criteria and then</li>
  <li>Save these contacts in a merge file (using export dialog).</li>
  <li>open this file in ms word for mac and create all the mail merges for this file</li>
  <li><p>finally send these mail merges out using mail.</p></li>
  <li><p>(optional) i would like to specify how many emails can be sent out for a specific amount of time (i.e. maximum 500 emails sent per hour OR maximum 400 emails sent per day). this is to prevent my email accounts from being blocked for the rest of the day.. Gmail and others tend to have send limits and if i go over i cant send emails for the rest of the day :(</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>mainly want to know if this is possible using automator.. i understand that maybe id need to make 4/5 scripts and then 1 script that calls all 4/5 scripts in order??
  any help is appreciated..</p>
