Accessing Greeting Cards
To send a greeting card, navigate to Content library > Greeting Cards in your admin. Find a card by scrolling or by filtering by category:
Tip: If you would like to send a completely custom card, choose a card in the Note Card category.
Greeting Card Preview
Preview your greeting card by clicking the "Details" button or click "Send" if you've selected a greeting card you'd like to send. You will have the chance to review your card and write a custom message before sending it!
Choose Your Audience
Once you have decided on a card, it is time to choose your audience. You may send to all your contacts, a group, or an individual. Cards can only be mailed to contacts with an address in place.
-
Send to All Contacts: send the greeting card to all your contacts.
-
Send to a Group: you can select to send to an existing group of contacts.
-
Send to an Individual: select an email address or multiple email addresses you'd like to send the greeting card.
Our system recognizes when multiple contacts share an address and groups those contacts together to prevent multiple cards from sending to one household. If those contacts share a last name and an address, the greeting card will be addressed to each person's first name and the shared last name. This is called householding.
Householding FAQs:
What happens if I send a greeting card to contacts that share an address?
-
We will combine the contacts and send one card to the address.
How will the card be addressed?
This all depends on the contacts' last names.
-
If they share a mailing address and have the same last name, we’ll address the card to the last name of the family:
-
If they share a mailing address but have different last names, we will address the card to both names:
-
If they share a mailing address, but not everyone has the same last name, we will combine the contacts with a shared last name and separately greet those with a different last name. They will still only receive one card at the household.

Review Your Message
