With Semble, you can insert automated recipient blocks for letter templates. This allows you to put in the details of other people into a letter without having to manually type it out.
Note: To create multiple recipient blocks and manage letters in general, you must have a role assigned to you that gives you editing permissions for Letters and Letter templates. For more information on roles, see here.
