Handwritten Card Service Handwrytten Releases New Integration for Hubspot

Published

By

Leading handwritten card service Handwrytten releases new HubSpot app enabling sales, success, and marketing teams to send robot-penned handwritten notes from any record or workflow. Available to Handwrytten and Hubspot users for no extra fee, the Handwrytten for Hubspot app makes sending cards easy, while providing necessary tools to management to control spend and restrict access.

TEMPE, Ariz., July 3, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Handwrytten, the leading handwritten cards service, today announced Handwrytten for HubSpot, an application on the HubSpot App Marketplace that lets teams send physical handwritten cards without ever leaving HubSpot.

“Handwritten notes work because they show a deeper investment in time and personal attention than a simple email does, automating these notes on autopilot from within Hubspot has been impossible until now.”

Handwritten mail remains one of the most effective channels in business communication: industry studies have long shown that handwritten envelopes are opened at rates approaching 99%, far higher than email. Yet the personal touch is the first thing that gets neglected when volumes grow. They are time consuming, hard to audit and track, and quality wains as volumes increase. As a result, many teams send handwritten notes rarely and inconsistently, or abandon the channel altogether.

Handwrytten for HubSpot closes that gap by automating the entire workflow directly within the tool teams use every day. A user simply selects a recipient from any contact, company, deal, or ticket within Hubspot. Then they choose a card, a handwriting style, and a sender, and the recipient’s address is pulled automatically from HubSpot properties. For volume, the Handwrytten workflow action drops into any HubSpot workflow, so a handwritten note can fire automatically when a deal closes, a renewal approaches, or an account goes quiet.

“Handwritten notes work because they show a deeper investment in time and personal attention than a simple email does, automating these notes on autopilot from within Hubspot has been impossible until now,” said David Wachs, founder and CEO of Handwrytten. “We built Handwrytten for HubSpot so a sales team can send real, individually-addressed cards from the tool they already live in, while operations can confidently manage spend and audit usage from within the app.”

Beyond cards, the app supports gift cards, printed inserts, saved signatures, and a shared address book, all drawn from the Handwrytten catalog and all available inside HubSpot. Every card sent is logged back to the CRM timeline on the originating record, so handwritten outreach appears in the same activity history as every email and call. The integration installs in minutes, connects to a Handwrytten account with a single click, and keeps customer data inside HubSpot.

Handwrytten for HubSpot is available now on the HubSpot App Marketplace. There is no separate platform to use the App. To learn more, visit handwrytten.com/hubspot.

Handwrytten, founded in 2014, is the leading handwritten notes service, sending real handwritten cards at scale using proprietary robots that write with actual pens in a choice of handwriting styles. Used by nonprofits and businesses of all sizes, clients use Handwrytten to turn customer milestones into genuine handwritten mail that gets opened and remembered.

TransportBPO Rolls Out Medicaid-Trained NEMT Dispatch Teams as Medical Transportation Providers Face Nationwide Dispatcher Shortage

Outsourced NEMT dispatch and call center service handles trip scheduling, broker coordination and patient calls for non-emergency medical transportation companies across the United States

VANCOUVER, Wash., July 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TransportBPO (TransportBPO.com), the transportation-focused call center and BPO provider, has rolled out dedicated non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) dispatch teams trained on Medicaid broker workflows, giving medical transportation providers a way to keep trips moving while the industry contends with a persistent dispatcher shortage.

NEMT dispatch is among the most demanding jobs in ground transportation. Dispatchers juggle trip offers from Medicaid brokers, wheelchair and stretcher vehicle assignments, strict pickup windows tied to medical appointments, will-call return trips and no-show documentation, all while fielding calls from patients, facilities and drivers. When a dispatcher quits, providers often have no trained replacement, and missed trips trigger broker penalties that can put contracts at risk.

TransportBPO’s NEMT dispatch service places trained remote dispatchers directly inside a provider’s existing dispatch software and phone system. Agents arrive already familiar with major broker platforms and trip protocols, including trip acceptance and assignment, real-time schedule adjustments, driver check-ins, patient reminder and confirmation calls, will-call management and end-of-day trip reconciliation. Coverage options range from overnight and weekend shifts to full 24/7 dispatch desks.

“NEMT providers do not lose contracts because their vans break down. They lose contracts because trips fall through the cracks when nobody is watching the board,” said Nimra Khalid, chief operating officer of SS Support Network LLC, the parent company of TransportBPO. “Our dispatchers already know what a B-leg is, what a broker reroute looks like and why a 15-minute pickup window matters to a dialysis patient. Providers plug us in and their on-time performance goes up while their payroll goes down.”

The service also covers the office work that piles up around dispatch. Providers can add customer service representatives for booking and eligibility calls, plus back-office support for billing, claims follow-up, credentialing paperwork and driver document tracking, consolidating work that many operators currently split across multiple vendors or squeeze into the owner’s evenings.

The rollout reflects growing demand for outsourced NEMT dispatch as the sector expands. Medicaid enrollment, an aging population and the shift of routine care to outpatient settings continue to push trip volumes upward, while small and mid-size providers, who make up most of the industry, struggle to recruit and retain qualified dispatch staff at local wage rates.

TransportBPO is a brand of SS Support Network LLC, a Vancouver, Washington-registered outsourcing company whose team of more than 50 agents has supported healthcare and transportation clients in dispatch, medical billing, credentialing and customer service since its founding. Alongside NEMT, TransportBPO serves taxi, private hire, chauffeur, courier and trucking operators in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.

NEMT providers can request a custom quote or book a consultation at https://transportbpo.com.

Disruptive Live Event Edge Architecture Debuts at Union Stage

Published

High-speed dual-database orchestration system turns concert crowds into real-time interactive nodes.

WASHINGTON, July 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Down Special Labs LLC and The Good Directorate will publicly deploy a proprietary, high-speed cloud-edge orchestration system during the “Hard Reset Vol. 1” live showcase at Union Stage on July 23, 2026. The architecture successfully transforms an audience’s mobile devices into real-time interactive nodes, merging underground music with a highly scalable B2B data analytics engine.

The technology introduces a novel dual-database framework designed exclusively to solve latency bottlenecks during high-concurrency live events. By decoupling immediate live game states—such as crowd-sourced visual triggers and competitive mechanics—onto low-latency edge caches, the system prevents relational database throttling. Simultaneously, the platform asynchronously captures verified B2B identity data and tracks physical venue movement via proximity nodes.

The system’s breakthrough features include “Virtual StreetPass” crowd-networking and dynamic “Sector Buff” logic. These mechanics actively drive physical foot traffic to high-margin venue locations, granting digital multipliers to the user’s interface when they check in at designated areas, providing venue operators with unprecedented direct-revenue conversion metrics.

“We are erasing the boundary between the stage, the crowd, and the venue’s revenue engine,” said Michael Good, Executive Producer and founder of The Good Directorate. “This showcase proves that live entertainment can operate as a frictionless, high-yield data platform without sacrificing the raw energy of an underground show.”

The July 23 deployment serves as the foundational beta test for the platform’s wider integration into global touring and venue infrastructure.
