    Hi @Luis Toledo

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.   

    Following up on your inquiry regarding about Mail Merge or database connections in Word Online, I’d like to share some insights based on Microsoft’s official documentation that might help. 

    If you are using Word Personal, the answer is no. According to this Microsoft Support article: Data sources you can use for a mail merge - Microsoft Support To perform a mail merge, you would need to use the desktop version of Word. 

    However, if you are using Word Online for Business, the answer is potentially yes, provided certain conditions are met: 

    1. You are using Word Online (Business) 
    2. You have access to Power Automate 
    3. Your Word template is stored in OneDrive or SharePoint 
    4. Your data source is Excel Online, SharePoint List, or Dataverse 

    For more detailed information, please refer to the following Microsoft Learn article: Word Online (Business) - Connectors | Microsoft Learn 

    We hope the details provided will assist you effectively.
