Three ways to send your first mailing

There are three ways to get a mailing into Intelliprint: upload a finished file, send text or HTML content directly, or reference a reusable template. Which one fits depends on how your content already exists.

Upload a finished file

If you already have a finished letter or postcard as a PDF, Word, RTF, PNG or JPEG file, upload it directly and Intelliprint prints and sends it as-is.

Already has an address on it? If your file already has the recipient's address positioned correctly, you don't need to provide a separate recipients list — Intelliprint reads the address straight from the file.

Send text or HTML content

Prefer to generate the letter body yourself? Pass it as a string in the content field and Intelliprint lays it out on the page for you. This suits personalised, code-generated letters — invoices, statements, one-off notices — where the copy changes every time.

import Intelliprint from 'intelliprint'

const ip = new Intelliprint('your-api-key-here')

const printJob = await ip.prints.create({
  type: 'letter',
  content: 'Dear Customer,\n\nThank you for your recent order.',
  recipients: [{
    address: {
      name: 'John Doe',
      line: '123 Main Street, Anytown, Anyplace',
      postcode: 'AB1 2CD',
      country: 'GB'
    }
  }],
  confirmed: false
})

Tip: Applying a background gives text/HTML content a letterhead or branded footer instead of a plain page — see the letterheads guide below.

Use a dashboard template

For recurring bulk mailings, design a reusable template once in the Intelliprint Dashboard with {variable} placeholders, then reference it by ID and pass a mailing list — each recipient gets their own personalised copy without you writing layout code for every send.
