Use Case

Send certified mail via API with legal proof of delivery

USPS Certified Mail proves you sent it. Certified Mail with Return Receipt proves they received it. mailbox.bot lets you send both with a single API call — no post office visit, no portal, no manual workflow.

When a workflow requires legal proof of mailing — demand letters, compliance notices, contract disputes, government filings — certified mail is the standard. mailbox.bot turns that requirement into a POST request: submit a PDF, specify certified or certified_return_receipt, and we handle printing, envelope stuffing, postage, USPS handoff, and tracking. Delivery proof and status events route back to your system via webhooks.

How certified mail via API works

What triggers the send?

Any system event: a compliance deadline, an overdue invoice, a legal filing requirement, a lease violation, or a collections queue item.

What gets sent?

A PDF document — demand letter, notice, contract, statement — printed, stuffed in an envelope, and mailed via USPS Certified Mail.

What proof do you get?

USPS Certified Mail tracking number, delivery confirmation, and optional signed return receipt. Photo proof of the mailed piece is also included.

How does it integrate?

One POST request to /api/v1/mail with mail_class=certified. Works from any language. Also available as an MCP tool for AI agents.

Why not just go to the post office?

Because certified mail via API means your system can send 1 letter or 1,000 without anyone leaving their desk. Proof is logged automatically, not manually.

What about return receipt?

Set mail_class=certified_return_receipt for the legal gold standard: proof that the recipient signed for the letter. Admissible in court.

Submit the PDF with the recipient address and mail_class=certified. One API call. No portal session.

3
We print, stuff, stamp, and mail

4
Track and log proof

USPS tracking events, delivery confirmation, and optional return receipt flow back to your system via webhooks.

Manual certified mail vs. API certified mail
