Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining an asset identifier for an asset that is received from a sender endpoint;
- generating an asset barcode that comprises the asset identifier;
- receiving a notification comprising a batch identifier from a delivery service in response to a scan of the asset barcode;
- determining an asset event for the asset based on the batch identifier of the notification;
- and
- triggering a downstream action by providing the asset event to the sender endpoint.

A method, comprising:
- identifying an asset that is sent to a recipient endpoint from a sender endpoint;
- generating a unique asset identifier for the asset;
- determining an asset event associated with the unique asset identifier;
- and
- providing the asset event to the sender endpoint that triggers out-of-band communication between the sender endpoint and the recipient endpoint;
- and
- receiving a report from a delivery service, comprising a batch identifier and a pick-up timestamp that represents a batch of assets entering a mail stream, wherein the batch is uniquely identified using the second batch identifier.
