Ekarda

Conventional direct marketing wisdom says that it costs seven times as much to find and convert a prospect to a customer than it costs to retain a customer you already have. ekarda is an eCard service designed specifically for businesses.

By taking a few minutes set-up an ekarda account, you and your staff can build rapport and strengthen business relationships by automatically sending the right greeting to the right person at the right time.

With Auth0 you can use SAML to enable Single-Sign On (SSO) and allow your users to log in once and use the same credentials to access Ekarda.

Prerequisites

Before you begin:

• Sign up for a Ekarda account.
• Set up a Connection, which is a source of users. Connections can be databases, social identity providers, or enterprise identity providers, and can be shared among different applications. You may set up more than one connection for use with SSO integrations.

Configure Auth0 SSO Integration

Enter a name for your SSO Integration, configure the following settings, and click Save.

Setting	Description
Callback URL	URL to which the user is redirected after login
Audience	Audience URL

You can find these values in the service provider metadata. Go to Admin > My Account, in the SAML Settings section you will find a link "Service Provider metadata", that will open the XML descriptor:
