In DealMachine, start a postcard campaign from a saved list, search results, the Direct Mail app, or a property. Choose who should receive the mail, select a published design, review the order summary, and launch when the details are right.

Before you start

Have a published postcard design, enough money in your mail Wallet, and a return address ready. Each mail piece needs sender details. You can use a saved return address or add one during campaign setup.

Start a campaign for several properties

  1. Select the properties from search results or a saved list. You can also open Direct Mail from the left sidebar, choose Campaigns, and add recipients from the Properties, People, or Lists tabs.
  2. Click Actions, then Send Mail when you started from a search or list. In Direct Mail, add the recipients in the campaign builder.
  3. Choose the audience: Property Owner sends to the owner’s mailing address on file; Current Resident sends to the property address.
  4. Choose a published postcard design. Set the send frequency and number of sends for the step, then click Confirm Step. Add another step if needed. A campaign can have up to five steps.
  5. Click Add Details. Name the campaign, choose a return address, and review the sender contact details and QR code settings.
  6. Choose when to send. Review the campaign details and order summary, including the number of pieces and total cost.
  7. Accept the review confirmation. When the button changes to Ready to Launch, click Save & Launch Campaign.

DealMachine warns you if a selected recipient has no mailing address on file. Check the audience and address warnings before launch. Mail is paid from Wallet funds, not monthly data credits. The amount varies with the campaign; use the total shown in your account rather than relying on a fixed price.

Send mail for one property

  1. Open the property and click the three-dot menu beside the star on the address row.
  2. Choose Send Mail, then follow the audience, design, campaign details, timing, and launch steps above.

Example

For example, you could select 50 properties, choose one published design, and review the displayed piece count and total before launching. The example shows where to check the details; it does not estimate a price or predict responses.

Frequently asked questions

Where does postcard mail go?
