Abstract

In variants, a method for asset generation can include: determining campaign settings, determining recipient data, determining a digital asset template, mapping variables between the digital asset template and the recipient data, optionally generating a set of example digital assets, rendering a set of digital assets, optionally printing a physical version of each digital asset, optionally delivering the physical assets. However, the method can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable elements.

Claims (47)

1 . An asset generation system, comprising:

a processing system, configured to:

determine a set of physical mail campaign settings;

determine recipient data (RD) for a set of recipients, the RD comprising a set of RD variables;

determine a digital asset template (DAT) comprising a set of DAT variables;

determine a variable map between the set of RD variables and the set of DAT variables;

determine a set of unique permutations based on the RD, wherein the set of unique permutations comprises unique combinations of non-recipient-specific variable values;

generate a set of example digital assets based on the set of unique permutations, the set of physical mail campaign settings, the DAT, and the variable map; and

render the set of example digital assets.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the unique combinations of non-recipient-specific variable values comprise combinations of extreme RD variable values.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the extreme RD variable values are determined based on a distribution of values for the respective RD variable.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the set of example digital assets comprise typical and extreme digital assets.

5 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an update to at least one of the RD, the DAT, or the set of physical mail campaign settings based on the set of example digital assets; and

rendering a set of digital assets, comprising a digital asset for each recipient of the set of recipients, based on the variable values from the set of RD variables, the variable map, and the update to at least one of the RD, the DAT, or the set of physical mail campaign settings.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein determining the variable map comprises receiving a set of mapping rules from a user and mapping the RD variables to the DAT variables based on the set of mapping rules.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein determining the variable map comprises:

displaying the set of RD variables and the set of DAT variables to a user on an interface; and

receiving a set of mappings between the RD variables of the set and the DAT variables of the set from the user, wherein the variable map comprises the set of mappings.

8 . The system of claim 1 , further configured to determine a set of edge case recipients based on the RD, wherein the set of edge case recipients comprises recipients associated with at least one of a set of print errors, wherein the set of print errors comprises an incorrectly input address, text exceeding a predetermined length, or an image larger than a predetermined size.

9 . The system of claim 8 , further configured to automatically determine a set of solutions to fix the print errors associated with the set of edge case recipients.

10 . A method, comprising:

determining a set of physical mail campaign settings;

determining recipient data (RD) for a set of recipients, the RD comprising RD variable values for each of a set of RD variables;

determining a digital asset template (DAT), comprising a set of DAT variables;

determining a variable map between the set of RD variables and the set of DAT variables;

determining a set of unique permutations of the RD variable values based on the RD;

generating a set of example digital assets based on the set of unique permutations, the set of physical mail campaign settings, the DAT, and the variable map; and

displaying the set of example digital assets on an interface to a user.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein rendering the set of example digital assets comprises populating each DAT variable with the RD variable value for the associated RD variable specified by the variable map.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the variable map comprises a one-to-one variable mapping between the set of RD variables and the set of DAT variables.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein determining the set of DAT variables associated with the DAT comprises identifying a set of variable indicators in the DAT, wherein the set of DAT variables comprise the set of variable indicators.

14 . A method for custom physical mail generation, comprising:

receiving recipient data (RD) for a set of recipients, the RD comprising RD variable values for each of a set of RD variables for each recipient;

receiving a digital asset template (DAT) comprising a set of DAT variables;

determining a variable map between the set of RD variables and the set of DAT variables;

generating a set of example digital assets based on permutations of non-recipient-specific RD variable values for display to a user;

after displaying the set of example digital assets, generating a set of digital assets based on the set of RD variable values for each recipient; and

routing the set of digital assets to a set of print partners for printing and mailing.

15 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising receiving an update to at least one of the DAT or the RD, wherein the set of digital assets is generated based on the update.

16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the permutations of non-recipient-specific RD variable values comprise extreme RD variable values from the RD.

17 . The method of claim 14 , wherein generating the set of digital assets comprises, for each digital asset of the set of digital assets, dynamically filling each DAT variable in the DAT with values for the respective RD variable for the respective recipient from the RD.

18 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

generating a uniform resource indicator (URI) for each recipient of the set of recipients based on the set of settings; and

rendering a representation of the URI within the respective digital asset for the recipient.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the representation of the URI comprises a QR code, wherein campaign metadata is generated when the QR code is scanned.

20 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising receiving a default value for a RD variable of the set of RD variables, wherein digital assets from the set of digital assets are rendered based on the default value.
