The supported audience workflow
The client supplies target data or audience parameters. When a list is needed, a mail-list partner sources the defined audience. DIS Direct then prepares the mailing data, produces the piece, completes the mail sort, and uses IMb for USPS tracking.
- Client-supplied audience data or selection parameters
- List sourcing through a mail-list partner when scoped
- CASS, NCOA, presort, and Intelligent Mail barcodes
- Postcards, self-mailers, or supplied-envelope letter packs
What triggered means in this production service
A trigger is the client-defined condition that creates a mailing audience or file. DIS Direct receives and executes the approved production input. API ingestion, webhook automation, real-time decisioning, and guaranteed trigger-to-mail SLAs are not represented as part of the public service.
Tracking is tied to the mail piece
Intelligent Mail barcodes support USPS mail tracking. They do not measure revenue, response, or customer outcomes by themselves. Campaign attribution remains the responsibility of the program owner and its approved tracking systems.

Frequently asked
- Does DIS Direct decide who should receive the mailing?
- No. The client supplies the audience data or selection parameters. A mail-list partner can source the defined list when that work is included in the scope.
- Does the service include API or webhook triggers?
- Not as a published capability. DIS Direct executes approved production files and defined mailing instructions; integration method and timing must be confirmed for each program.
- Can the mailing be tracked?
- Yes. DIS Direct can apply Intelligent Mail barcodes so mail movement is trackable through available USPS data.
