SmartyStreets (Smarty) Integration

Overview

SmartyStreets (now Smarty) provides address validation and location-data tools that organizations use to ensure address information is accurate, standardized, and usable.

Alpine includes a free integration with SmartyStreets that processes valid addresses and breaks them into derived fields.

How It Works

Automatic Address Processing

If the SmartyStreets integration is enabled, when a Constituent's [Base] Field: Address is saved or updated, the system:

Validates the address against USPS database
Standardizes format to USPS specifications
Enriches with additional geographic data
Assigns a deliverability status

Data Enhancement

Each validated address receives:

Field	Description	Use Case
Delivery Status	Can mail be delivered?	Reduce bounce rates
Standardized Format	USPS-approved formatting	Professional appearance
ZIP+4	Full 9-digit ZIP code	Better postal rates
Coordinates	Latitude/longitude	Mapping, distance calculations
Congressional District	Political district	Voter outreach
County	Administrative region	Local campaign targeting
Time Zone	Local time zone	Event scheduling

User Experience

When It Happens

Automatic: Runs in background when addresses are added/changed
Production Only: Only processes real constituent data
Respectful: Skips during bulk imports to avoid rate limits
Configurable: Can be enabled/disabled via admin settings

What Users See

Addresses appear "cleaned up" after entry
More complete address information
Delivery status indicators
No disruption to normal workflow

Setup

After customers are live in their Alpine database, the SmartyStreets integration can be safely enabled.

Customer Success Managers will enable this feature for customers.
