PostGrid Print & Mail Overview#

The PostGrid Print & Mail API offers seamless print and mail solutions, enabling the automation of sending personalized letters, postcards, checks, and more. With this API, you can systematize direct mail campaigns, transactional mailings, or on-demand dispatch without managing printing infrastructure. In Pipedream, you can harness this capability to interlace PostGrid with an array of other services and triggers, creating workflows that respond to events such as form submissions, scheduled campaigns, or customer actions.
