A handwritten card from Cardly only pays off if someone notices the response. FlowMattic posts what happens after the card leaves to Slack: it was sent, the gift was redeemed, the QR code was scanned or the address bounced. Sales, account managers and marketing teams follow up on direct mail while the recipient is paying attention.

1. TriggerGift Card Redeemed2. ActionSend Channel MessageWhen Cardly fires Gift Card Redeemed, FlowMattic runs Send Channel Message in Slack with the data from that event.

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Ready-made templateA redeemed gift is a recipient who opened the card and acted. The channel post names them so the account manager can send a thank-you or book a call.

View the template A QR scan is a warm signal. The rep who owns the contact is found by email and gets a direct message to follow up while the card is still on the desk.

When Cardly dispatches a card, Slack adds a reminder for a few days later, around when it lands, so the follow-up call lines up with the card arriving.

A card marked undeliverable-as-addressed wastes postage next time too. A private channel post gives the contact and the address so someone fixes it in the CRM.

Contact Change Of Address gives the original address and the USPS-recommended one. Posting both lets the person who owns customer records update them.

When an automated send is cancelled and refunded, finance sees the contact and order in a private channel and can match the credit on the Cardly invoice.

At the end, each Cardly gift card a recipient redeems is posted to your team channel with their name and the card it came from.
Under Connects in FlowMattic, add a Slack connection with an account in the channel you want to post to.
Create a workflow with the Cardly Gift Card Redeemed trigger and follow its instructions to send Cardly events to the workflow.
Send a card with a gift to yourself and redeem it, or wait for the first real one, so FlowMattic captures the recipient fields.
Add Send Channel Message, choose the channel and write the text from the recipient, company and card design. Test it and switch on.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Cardly and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Scans and redemptions reach the rep while the recipient is engaged, which is when a call is most welcome.
Undeliverable and changed addresses reach the person who keeps the records, so the next campaign does not waste cards.
FlowMattic runs on your own WordPress site with unlimited runs, so a large mailing does not add per-task costs.
Create a FlowMattic workflow with a Cardly trigger such as Gift Card Redeemed or QR Code Scanned, capture one event and add Send Channel Message. Map the recipient details into the text and switch it on.
Yes, if the order or contact data includes the rep's email. Find User by Email looks them up and Send Direct Message sends the scan or redemption to them.
Yes. Contact Order Created fires when a contact and order are created and pending an automated send. Post it to a channel if someone checks orders before they go out.
The change of address and undeliverable triggers rely on USPS data, so they cover US addresses. Redemptions and QR scans work wherever the cards are sent.
