FAQ

Common Questions

How do I import my employee list?

Export a CSV or Excel file from your HR system with employee names, emails, and hire dates. Upload it to eCardWidget, and we'll automatically calculate anniversary dates.

Can I customize which milestones trigger cards?

Yes. You can enable/disable any anniversary year and assign specific eCard designs to each milestone (e.g., a special gold design for 25 years).

What time do anniversary cards get sent?

You choose the send time (e.g., 9 AM). Cards are sent in the recipient's timezone, so everyone receives their card at the appropriate local time.

Can managers add a personal message?

Yes. Managers can be notified before the send date so they can add a personal note or modify the automated message.
