In the case of the demo file, we are only using the postcard creation section. You will want to familiarize yourself with the Lob API documentation and all of the options available. If you want to create your own account, just go to Lob.com and click the Try It Now button to sign up.Īfter you sign up for a free account, you access your API key from the settings dashboard. A link to Lob’s image prep guidelines is provided. The script will stop you if you have left a required field blank, but it does not check to see if the images meet Lob’s requirements.

If you don’t already have it, the script will prompt you to install version 3.3.1 (current at the time of publishing). The demo does require the free BaseElements plug-in from Goya. You can sign up for a free test API key of your own, or move forward and authorize a live API to start sending real mail. It has been populated with the test API key from Lob.com, so you can test the service without being charged. The file is provided open and unlocked, so you can pick it apart and extend it to suit your needs. So to test it out, we put together a demo file. And of course this includes our favorite rapid application development platform: FileMaker Pro. And it’s all a web service with an API (application programming interface), which means that you can connect and use the service from just about any program. They take care of the printing and mailing. Lob is a service that lets you send letters, postcards, and even checks. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could let someone else take care of all of that? Sure there are online printing services, but what if you want to send just one? Or a handful? Or thousands? All driven by your data? That’s the niche that is filled by Lob. But doing real mailing with real paper is time consuming. Receiving a physical piece of mail is a novelty, and can make you (or your customers) feel special. We don’t send “snail mail” letters and postcards as often as we used to, but the paperless office is still science fiction for some. Dr. Egon Spengler pronounced the death of print in the 1984 hit comedy Ghostbusters, but he may have been a tad premature.
