Question 1

What kind of manual work can I automate by connecting Stannp to other tools?

Accepted Answer

You can automate the process of sending physical mail to contacts based on triggers or conditions in your other business systems. For example, when a new record enters your database, a form is submitted, or a status changes in another tool, an automation can capture that data and send it directly to Stannp to generate and mail a postcard or letter. This eliminates manual steps like exporting contact lists, uploading them to Stannp, or copying recipient details between systems.

Question 2

How does data flow between Stannp and other business tools when I automate?

Accepted Answer

When connected through automation, data flows into Stannp as input (contact name, address, and personalized content) from your source system, and Stannp queues that mail for delivery. Stannp returns confirmation data back to your automation workflow, such as order status or tracking information, which you can store or use to update records in connected tools. The address format and required fields must match what Stannp expects, so your automation should validate or format address data before sending it.

Question 3

What common problems occur when automating direct mail through Stannp?

Accepted Answer

Address validation is critical: incomplete, incorrectly formatted, or invalid addresses will fail or result in mail that cannot be delivered. Duplicate records in your source system can trigger duplicate mail sends if your automation does not deduplicate before submitting to Stannp. Testing your automation with small batches first is important, because once mail is sent through Stannp, it cannot be recalled. Also, ensure your contact data is up-to-date, as Stannp will mail to whatever address you provide.

Question 4

How should I structure my data and workflows to make Stannp automations reliable?

Accepted Answer

Maintain clean contact records with complete, standardized address information in your source system before connecting to Stannp. Build validation steps into your automation to check that all required fields (recipient name, full address) are present and formatted correctly. Map your content templates (postcard or letter text) consistently so personalization fields match the data you are sending. Document your automation flow and test it thoroughly with a small group of contacts to catch issues before running it at scale.
