The recognition tools inside eCardWidget

Four integrated tools that cover every stage of your employee recognition program -- from automated milestone sends to peer-to-peer appreciation.

Milestone automation tool

Connect your team directory once. eCardWidget automatically fires eCards on birthdays, work anniversaries, new hire dates, and retirement milestones -- without any ongoing effort from HR.

  • ✓ Birthday eCards at 9 AM local time
  • ✓ Anniversary cards with tenure messaging
  • ✓ New hire welcome on day one
  • ✓ 30+ holiday sends year-round

eCard branding tool

Every eCard is a branded touchpoint. Upload your logo, set brand colors, choose typography, and write message templates with merge tags. Employees receive cards that feel like they came from leadership, not from software.

  • ✓ Logo and brand color upload
  • ✓ 100+ professional eCard templates
  • ✓ Merge tags for personalization
  • ✓ Custom design upload option

Peer recognition tool

Not all recognition is milestone-based. Managers and employees can send eCards to colleagues any time -- to celebrate a big project, thank a teammate, or recognize exceptional work that doesn't fit a scheduled milestone.

  • ✓ Ad hoc sends from any manager
  • ✓ Employee-to-employee appreciation
  • ✓ Occasion-specific card library
  • ✓ Branded to match automated sends

Analytics and reporting tool

Track the health of your recognition program from one dashboard. See delivery rates, open rates, and engagement trends so you can report program impact to leadership with real data.

  • ✓ Delivery and open rate tracking
  • ✓ Program-wide engagement view
  • ✓ Per-milestone performance data
  • ✓ Exportable reporting

From zero to automated recognition in three steps

1

Import your team

CSV upload with names, emails, birthdays, and hire dates. No IT project needed -- most teams are done in under 30 minutes.

2

Configure your cards

Brand your eCards with your logo, pick designs, write personalized message templates. Configure which milestones trigger automatic sends.

3

Recognition runs itself

Every birthday, anniversary, and holiday fires automatically. Check your analytics monthly to see program health. That's the full ongoing effort.

"We've been using the eCard widget to automate our birthday and service anniversary messages, and it has genuinely transformed our workflow. What once took hours each month now happens seamlessly in the background. The customer service has been outstanding -- quick, personalized, and solution-oriented."

Frequently asked questions

What recognition tools does eCardWidget include?
eCardWidget includes four integrated tools: milestone automation (birthdays, anniversaries, new hires, holidays), an eCard branding tool, a peer recognition tool for ad hoc sends, and an analytics dashboard. All four are included in every plan -- there's no modular pricing.
Can we use the recognition tools without IT involvement?
Yes -- that's a core feature. Team setup uses CSV import from any spreadsheet or HR export. No SSO configuration, no API integration, no HRIS connector required to get started. Most HR managers have the full system configured in a single afternoon.
How personalized are the automated eCards?
Each automated eCard uses your message template plus merge tags -- {first_name}, {years_at_company}, {department}, and others. Work anniversary cards can include the employee's exact tenure ("Congratulations on your 7 years!"). The card is addressed to the individual, branded to your organization, and sent at the right moment.
Is there a limit on how many eCards the tools can send?
Sends are included in your plan at flat-rate pricing -- no per-send fees. Plan tiers are based on team size. See the pricing page for current limits and tiers.
Can the tools handle multiple departments or locations with different branding?
Yes. eCardWidget supports multiple department configurations within one account. Different teams can have different card designs, message templates, or even sub-brand logos while sharing the same account and plan.
