Getting started

Open SmartSend via the ePost web client or directly at smartsend.epost.ch, then log in.

Upload documents – flexibly and efficiently

Upload your main documents and attachments as PDFs in A4 format. The complete recipient addresses must be integrated in the PDF. The improved user interface makes the whole process quicker and more intuitive.

New: You can now upload ZIP files too, to process several documents at once. Plus, you can see the page count of your documents.

Configure mailing – all in one place

Configure your mailing as normal, only now it’s even simpler:

  • One subject field: Instead of several fields, there is now just one field for the subject.

  • Adjust address window: You can still move and adjust the address window so that the postal address is perfectly positioned. If the address position differs from the default, an address cover sheet is automatically added for physical mail.

  • eBill option: As well as the postal address, you can now insert the e-mail address for eBills – perfect for sending invoices direct to your customers’ banking portal.
Note: If you would like to send via eBill, you need a one-time onboarding. In this case, please contact us via  support.enterprise@epostservice.ch

Printing parameters

When sending physical mail, choose as usual between simplex (one-sided) and duplex (double-sided). The document and ordering parameters will be automatically recognised, removing the need for further inputs.

New mailing options – perfect for your needs

SmartSend now offers you even more choice:

  • Intelligent SmartSend mail: SmartSend ensures that the consignment is automatically delivered via the recipient's preferred channels - either digitally directly in the ePost app, via eBill or as physical letter mail.

  • Registered mail: Registered mail can now be sent abroad too.

  • A-Post Plus: For important, time-critical mail including tracking.
Next, select the franking. This will be used if digital mailing is not possible and the consignment is physically delivered instead. Choose between A-Post, B-Post and B-Post Bulk Mail (New: up to 1'000 recipients).

Automatic address check and simple completion

SmartSend next automatically checks your recipient addresses and selects the best delivery option.

New: When processing has been completed, including the address check, your order will appear in the mailing overview. Check that the details are correct and complete sending by clicking on “Confirm and send”. Instead of carrying out several steps, the optimised processes mean you can do them all in a single step, saving time and minimising input errors.
