The problem it solves

You want to send a personal touch, like a printed postcard, to certain contacts, but remembering to order and address each one by hand takes time you don't have. Manual mailing doesn't scale as your contact list grows.

Who it fits

A small business or sales team that wants to send physical postcards to CRM contacts without manual work.

How it works

  1. A contact is updated in your CRM
  2. The automation checks if the contact has a 'send postcard' tag
  3. If tagged, it pulls the contact's name and address
  4. It sends that information to a postcard printing and mailing service
  5. A physical postcard is printed and mailed to the contact automatically
What you get

Postcards addressed without touching an envelope

Contacts you tag get a printed postcard mailed to them without any extra work on your part.

What you get

A printed postcard mailed to the tagged contact, with a confirmation email.

What you need

A CentralStationCRM account with API access and an EchtPost account with API access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
