Connect Claude & ChatGPT to eCardWidget

Ask your AI to send a thank-you eCard, schedule a holiday campaign, or add a new hire to the team directory in eCardWidget. It can search widgets and eCards, build campaigns with recipients, and turn birthday or work-anniversary automations on or off. Your team directory and campaigns stay current without manual clicking.

Connect eCardWidget free

Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.

Try asking

“Send the thank-you eCard to Maria Jensen at [email protected] from me.”
The AI searches for the eCard, then sends it with your name, email and an optional personal message.
“Add our new hire Jonas Berg, starting 1 October, birthday 12 May, in Sales.”
It adds him to the team directory with department, hire date and birth date, which drive automated eCards.
“Set up a holiday campaign with our winter card and send it on 15 December at 9:00.”
It creates the campaign, sets its eCard and recipients, and schedules it for that time.

What your AI can do

eCards and widgets

Search widgets and eCards, read an eCard design, render a preview with merge tags, and send an eCard by email.

Campaigns and automations

Create and update campaigns, set their eCards and recipients, schedule or send them, and switch automations on or off.

Team directory

Add, update, find, deactivate and reactivate team members, list departments, and review gift card orders.

“Which automations are running right now?”
It lists your automations with status and event type, such as birthdays and work anniversaries.
“Anne left the company. Stop her automated cards.”
It finds her in the team directory and deactivates her so she no longer gets automated eCards.
“Which gift cards from last month's campaign have not been claimed?”
It lists gift card orders for that campaign and date range, filtered by claim status.

Questions

What can the AI do in eCardWidget?

The AI can read your account, widgets, eCards, campaigns, campaign recipients, automations, departments, team members and gift card orders. It can send eCards, create, schedule and send campaigns, switch automations on or off, and add, update, deactivate or reactivate team members.

Does the AI see my eCardWidget API key?

No. Your eCardWidget API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on. Sending an eCard or a campaign emails real people, and a sent campaign cannot be undone, so these actions can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own eCardWidget account.

Can I limit what the API key can reach?

Yes. eCardWidget lets you scope a key to certain feature areas when you create it, while an unscoped key has full account access. That limit applies on top of the tools you switch on in HeyMyApps.
