Streamline Certified Mail with API and SFTP Automations

Send Certified Mail and Certified Mail Labels offers advanced automation tools, including Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) systems, to streamline your Certified Mail processes. Whether you are sending large volumes of Certified Mail or managing recurring mailings, these tools provide seamless integration and efficiency for businesses and organizations of all sizes.

What Are API and SFTP Automations?

Application Programming Interface (API)

An API allows your business systems to connect directly with our platform to automate the creation, tracking, and management of Certified Mail labels. With our API, you can:

• Automatically generate labels for bulk or individual mailings.
• Sync your data in real time for accurate and efficient processing.
• Access tracking information and Return Receipts directly from your platform.

Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)

SFTP automates the transfer of files between your systems and ours. This ensures secure, efficient, and error-free data exchange. With SFTP, you can:

• Send batch mailing data via encrypted file transfers.
• Schedule recurring uploads to streamline frequent mailings.
• Access confirmation reports for complete visibility into your mailing operations.

Both tools eliminate the need for manual data entry, reduce errors, and save significant time for businesses managing high-volume or repetitive Certified Mail workflows.

How to Use SFTP with Send Certified Mail and Certified Mail Labels

Step 1: Create Your Account

Begin by reaching out to our team to discuss your automation needs.

Whether you’re mailing for yourself or a client, you’ll need to create an account. Account creation is free and requires no monthly fees or long-term contracts. This is where your data will be processed and all your USPS tracking and reports will be securely stored for 10 years.

Note: If you are a mail house with multiple customers, we strongly suggest you create a new account for each customer.

Step 2: Set Up Your Integration

Once you’ve created an account, submit a Custom Work Order to tell us about your job. In the “Comments” section of the work order, include a sample of your approved data, your IP Address, and any other information you feel would be helpful. We will determine the envelope type and weight needed based on your data and letters.

• SFTP Setup: Configure secure file transfers by setting up your SFTP credentials and file structure.

Step 3: Fund Your Account

Funds must be available in your account before you can begin your mailing. You determine how much and how often you’d like to fund your account. To avoid processing and mailing delays due to insufficient funds, please consider funding an amount that will cover monthly or even quarterly mailings. Funds do not expire. Accounts can be funded by bank account wire/ACH, check, credit card, or through our Auto-Invoicing program.

Step 4: Test Your System

Once your account is funded, we have a sample of your job, and we know your mailing needs, we will begin the proofing process. You will receive a proof which you will need to review and approve. Once you’ve approved the initial proof, we will allow you to drop your own test files (10 records or less) for your own end-to-end testing.

This testing ensures seamless integration and accurate data processing before going live. Our support team is available to assist with troubleshooting or configuration.

Step 5: Automate Your Certified Mail Workflow

After your proofs are approved and you feel comfortable with the process, we will turn your automation on. At that time, any data you drop in your job folder for processing will be automatically processed within minutes. The data will be processed according to your approved job instructions with live, non-refundable USPS postage. Please note that all data, including RRE Signature reports, will only be available for 180 days in your SFTP folder.

Once your integration is live, enjoy the benefits of automated label creation, tracking, and reporting. You can upload files, generate labels, and access proof of delivery—all without manual intervention.
