Direct Mail integration
Connect StefanBrain to Cardly
Connect Cardly, the service for sending handwritten-style cards to customers, to StefanBrain. Draft card copy and work with your Cardly account from the same chat that runs your digital marketing.
What connecting Cardly unlocks
Handwritten-style cards in your marketing workflow
Cardly sends handwritten-style cards to customers. Connected, it becomes one more channel your marketing brain can plan and work with in conversation.
Card copy written like a marketer
Draft thank-you notes, win-back messages, and VIP cards in chat. Run them through a Copy Chief review before anything heads to a mailbox.
Direct mail beside your digital channels
Cardly joins your other connectors in chat, so offline touches get planned with the same context as your ads and creative. No extra dashboard tab required.
Sends stay under your control
Sending a card is a write action. Tool permissions let you require approval for every send, or block writes entirely and keep the connection read only.

Frequently asked questions
What can StefanBrain read from Cardly?
Cardly is a direct mail service built around sending handwritten-style cards to customers, so the connection centers on card and sending workflows. The exact actions come from the live Cardly integration once you connect. Ask in chat and StefanBrain uses whatever your account exposes.
Where do I find my Cardly API key?
It lives in your Cardly account or developer settings. StefanBrain asks for it once in the connection dialog and stores it encrypted. Your Cardly password is never requested or stored.
Can StefanBrain send a card without asking me?
Not unless you allow it. Sending is a write action, and tool permissions let you require approval for each send or block writes completely. Read actions are gated separately from writes.
Can StefanBrain write the card message itself?
Yes, drafting copy is what the platform does best. Ask for a thank-you note or a win-back card in chat, and run the draft through Copy Chief before you send anything.
How is Cardly different from Lob, Stannp, or PostGrid?
All four are direct mail connectors. Cardly focuses on handwritten-style cards, Lob and PostGrid handle programmatic letters, postcards, and address checks, and Stannp runs postal campaigns. Connect the service your team actually uses.
Can I disconnect later?
Yes, one click in Connectors removes access immediately. For a full cleanup, also revoke or rotate the API key inside your Cardly account so the old key stops working everywhere.
