Scribble documentation

Scribble writes real handwritten cards with a machine that holds a real pen, then addresses, stamps and mails them for you across the US. These 39 pages cover every way to send one: by hand, on a schedule, or from your own code.

#Everything, by section

Getting started

What Scribble is, how a card gets made, and how to get your first one in the mail.

Guides

Complete, followable recipes for the things companies actually send: birthdays, anniversaries, new hires, holidays, thank-yous, and cards triggered from your own systems.

Automations

Evergreen rules that send cards on their own: birthdays, work anniversaries, imported dates and events from your own systems.

Contacts and data

Getting people into Scribble and keeping the data clean: CSV import, field mapping, address rules, lists and the do-not-mail list.

Designs and messages

The card itself: choosing artwork from the catalogue, uploading your own, laying out the inside, picking a handwriting, and writing a message that fits.

Credits and billing

One credit is one card. How credits are bought, held, spent and refunded, and what a card costs at every volume.

API reference

The Scribble public API: send a handwritten card in one request, look up its status, manage contacts, receive signed webhooks.

Reference

The numbers: arrival windows, card dimensions, file formats, limits, and what every term in the product means.
