Preparing and Sending a Mail File (End-to-End)

Modified on Wed, 22 Oct at 5:07 PM

Sending digital bills or communications through Payreq Delivery involves a few key steps—especially if you're uploading mail manually. This guide walks through the end-to-end process.


Step 1: Prepare Your Mail File

  • Ensure your file is in PDF format (one document per recipient).

  • Include all required metadata (e.g. customer reference number) in your filename or accompanying SFTP payload.

  • If using the manual upload method, make sure the file is under the max size limit and formatted correctly.


Step 2: Upload the File

There are two options:

  • Via SFTP (recommended for automation)

  • Via the Console (go to Mail > Upload Mail)

After upload, the file will enter the “Pending” state for validation.


Step 3: Validate the Mail

Payreq automatically checks your file for issues, including:

  • Missing contact information

  • Incorrect reference numbers

  • Unsupported formatting

If any issues are found, they’ll be listed in the validation screen. Fix them and re-upload.


Step 4: Approve and Send

Once validation passes:

  1. Go to Mail > Pending

  2. Review the summary

  3. Click “Approve”

The documents are now delivered via email, Smart Mailbox, BPAY View, or print (depending on each recipient's settings).


Step 5: Monitor Delivery Outcomes

After sending, go to Mail > Delivered or Mail > Undeliverable to review results.


You can download audit logs or click into individual items to view delivery metadata and retry failed items if needed.
