What is AI print to mail?

AI print to mail means you upload documents and postcards. Software proposes setup. You approve. We print, apply postage, and deliver the pieces to USPS. USPS delivers nationwide.

The five steps

A proposal is not a send. A human still confirms.

  1. Upload

    PDF, Word, images, packages, CSV lists.

  2. AI setup

    Addresses and print options. Proposed, not auto-sent.

  3. You approve

    Nothing produces until a human confirms.

  4. Produce

    Print, insert, postage.

  5. USPS handoff

    We deliver the pieces to USPS on your mail date.

The first step is yours. You upload files you already have. A scanned page, a Word export, a multi-file package, or a recipient list. You choose how duplicate names and addresses are handled. We do not take over the system that created the file.

Software then proposes setup. Addresses from the file, a CSV, or a line you type. A proof of the piece. Mail class, paper, duplex, color, and finish as a starting point. That proposal is not a mailed job. Agents that prepare jobs follow the same rule.

A human still approves on the app. You review the proof. You change options if the proposal is wrong. You review flagged addresses. Then you confirm. The prepaid meter debits when you approve. Production mail is not free.

After that we produce: print, insert when the piece needs an envelope, postage. Handoff is on your scheduled mail date. USPS delivers the mail. Two jobs. Cutoffs and tracing live on the process page. This page does not duplicate them.

What software proposes. What you still do.

AI sets up a job. A human still owns the send.

Software proposes

Not a send

Addresses from the file, a list, or a line you add. A proof. Mail class and finish as a starting point. Address-quality flags after CASS and NCOA run on the production path.

CASS and NCOA →

A human still

Required

Owns the document. Chooses options. Reviews flags. Approves on the app. Funds the prepaid meter. On Certified Mail a flagged address cannot still-mail.

Software can read a job and draft the setup. It does not invent a recipient USPS cannot match. It does not rewrite statement or notice copy inside your billing system. It does not spend the meter. You do that when you approve.

You still decide mail class, paper, duplex, color, and finish. You still pick the mail date. Custom logo envelopes are included; they must be approved before use. Posty AI can chat the setup. It still does not approve.

Documents, postcards, and Certified

This path is documents and postcards. Correspondence. Statements and invoices you already generate. Notices. A postcard when that is the piece. “Letter” here is a USPS size, or a named document type you upload. We do not turn this into a brochure shop.

Online Certified Mail uses the same path. Add Certified Mail or Certificate of Mailing before you approve. Proof is a mail option on the job, not a second vendor. Not for postcards. Never same-day. First-Class tracing is not Certified proof.
