How to use the Script feature

Can you think of jobs you run that could benefit from unattended operation?

With the Script feature in AccuZIP6, set up jobs to run completely unattended, or create scripts that can perform tasks automatically, then pause for your intervention before resuming the automation. 

If you're using AccuZIP6 strictly for address cleaning client lists or your own address lists, did you know you can drop these files into watch folders and allow AccuZIP6 to process these jobs from start to finish while you're busy with other tasks?

Consider creating scripts for each client or scripts for all of the varieties of mailings you handle. If you have to clean address lists, then provide your customer with the undeliverable address and the list of those who have moved before you can continue the mailing, why not use the script feature to quickly drag this customer's address list into their own In folder, triggering AccuZIP6 to begin working on that list?

There are many possibilities for what you can do with Scripting, and the more you use the feature, the more great ideas you'll come up with for using the Script feature even more. 

You might even consider dedicating a license strictly for scripting 24/7, while your main license is used for manual work. There is no limit to the number of scripts you can build or the number of address lists waiting in watch folders. 

Isn't it time to start learning how to use the Script feature, which comes with your edition of AccuZIP6?
