At Amélio, we believe small gestures build strong cultures.
Personalized virtual cards, available in the Recognition module, are more than just a practical tool.
They become a collective ritual that nurtures team cohesion.
Birthdays, retirements, achievements, new arrivals, or a simple “thank you 🫶”: every card is an opportunity to strengthen bonds, celebrate values, and remind everyone that behind each moment, there’s a united team.
Why Use Custom Cards?
A complete module to celebrate every moment that matters
Highlight the big and small milestones of your organization with fully customizable virtual cards.

Collaborative experience
One of this module’s strengths is its collective dimension. Invite colleagues to sign your cards, personalize them together, and transform every message into a shared memory.
Each contribution enriches the card, multiplies the emotion, and embodies your team culture.

How It Works
Creating a card is intuitive and allows your team to add their personal touch at every step.
To create a custom card, start by accessing the Recognition module and apply the steps below.
1. Create a New Card
Click on the "+ Create a Virtual Card" button to begin.
2. Choose and Customize Your Card
Use filters to narrow down the visuals by language and card type. You can:
Select a design from the available templates
Upload your own image. All image formats are accepted, except the WebP format.
💡 Tip: Cards are displayed in portrait mode. For optimal results, use an image ratio of approximately 3:4 or 2:3. If the ratio differs, the platform will prompt you to crop your image during upload.
Customize the experience further by:
Adding sound effects (from the built-in Amélio catalog)
Choosing the envelope color and message background
💡 Tip: Click the envelope in the center of the screen to enter editing mode. Otherwise, click Continue to proceed.
3. Select Recipient(s)
Provide the following:
Delivery method (email or SMS)
Recipient name(s)
Contact details
💡 Tip: You can add multiple recipients using the + button.
4. Invite Contributors
Decide who can contribute to the card. You can choose by:
Team level
Specific groups (based on attributes like department, location, etc.)
Individual people
You can also:
Exclude certain individuals
Invite external contributors via a shareable link
Our tips for adding contributors
At this stage, you can choose a list of employees based on different attributes (for example, department, work location, or job title).
To ensure everything works correctly, make sure the selected attribute is visible in the recognition module.
Not sure if your attributes are visible? You can easily check here: Check attribute visibility.
When adding multiple criteria, keep in mind that the module uses an exclusion logic (AND). This means that each additional criterion narrows down the selection, keeping only the employees who meet all the chosen conditions.
Example:
You select the work location: Montreal
Then the department: Marketing
The module will only display employees from the Marketing department located in Montreal.
If you add a third criterion, such as position: Coordinator, the list becomes even more refined! Only Marketing Coordinators in Montreal will be included.
The more criteria you add, the more precise and targeted your selection will be 🎯!
5. Schedule the Card Delivery
At this stage, you can:
Select the send date and time
Customize the email sent to contributors
Customize the message sent to recipients
Schedule up to two email reminders for contributors
6. Review and Activate the Card
Before activating the card, review the contact information for both contributors and recipients. The external share link will be available again if needed.
Once everything is confirmed, click Activate This Card to finalize the schedule and trigger the contributor notifications.
The card will be sent on the selected date using the chosen delivery method and will appear on the recipients’ dashboard. You can review your project at any time by accessing your personal dashboard and clicking the three dots in the top right-hand corner of the card you created. From this action menu, you can also sign the card or delete it if needed.
