eCardWidget vs Greenvelope
Greenvelope perfects the digital invitation. eCardWidget runs the recognition program around it — automated birthdays and anniversaries, peer-to-peer eCards, gift card rewards, and a directory your IdP keeps in sync.
Greenvelope describes itself as “Premium Digital Invitations with Animated Envelopes, Built-In RSVP Tracking & Background Music” (source, Jul 2026).

On autopilot
Recognition that doesn’t wait for an invite
Everything from here on is eCardWidget — automations, directory sync, and gift card rewards in one platform.
eCardWidget
Set once. Runs all year.
Load dates into the directory and eCardWidget does the rest: birthdays, work anniversaries with 1–50 year milestones, 30+ holidays, and onboarding welcomes — plus 10 custom date fields for the occasions only your organization celebrates.
Birthday automation
Fires on each person's date, every year
Anniversary milestones
1–50 years, detected from hire date
30+ holidays
Fixed and movable-date triggers
eCardWidget
Directory-driven, IdP-maintained
Start from a CSV on any plan. On Enterprise, SCIM 2.0 keeps the directory in lockstep with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, or Google Workspace — birthdays and hire dates flow in, leavers deactivate automatically, and OIDC SSO covers sign-in.

eCardWidget vs Greenvelope, answered
How do I switch from Greenvelope to eCardWidget?
Import contacts by CSV on every plan — or connect your HRIS via Zapier/API — choose from 500+ templates or upload your own, and schedule the automations once. From there, birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays run themselves.
What makes eCardWidget a recognition platform rather than a card sender?
The directory is the engine: it holds birthdays, hire dates, and custom dates; automations fire on them with milestone detection; the peer-to-peer widget lets the whole team send; and gift card rewards attach real value with spend controls. 9,000+ organizations run on it.
How is eCardWidget priced?
Plans run from free to Enterprise — see transparent pricing. SSO/SCIM and gift card rewards are Enterprise features.
Which occasions can eCardWidget automate?
Birthdays and work anniversaries (with 1–50 year milestone detection) straight from your directory dates, 30+ built-in holidays including movable dates, onboarding welcomes, and up to 10 custom date fields per person. See automated eCards.
What analytics does eCardWidget provide?
Real-time analytics on every send — per campaign, per automation, per widget — so you can see what went out and what lands. Explore all features.
Does eCardWidget support SSO?
Yes — OpenID Connect SSO with SCIM 2.0 directory sync for Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, or any OIDC provider (Enterprise). See SSO & directory sync.
