The spreadsheet compliance trap
Compliance officers spend 8+ hours monthly manually tracking template expiration dates in Google Sheets. One typo, one forgotten update, and you're out of compliance. Auditors find gaps. Regulators fine.
Manual tracking at scale
Managing 200+ template expiration dates in spreadsheets becomes unmanageable as your team grows. One error cascades into audit findings.
Accidental asset loss
Valuable marketing templates that converted 3x better than average get deleted because nobody remembered they existed or when they were expiring.
Audit readiness anxiety
When auditors ask for proof of retention compliance, you have a fragmented spreadsheet instead of timestamped, automated audit trails. 92% of audit findings cite inadequate documentation.
Scattered asset locations
Templates in Stripo, GIFs in Google Drive, retention policies in spreadsheets. No single source of truth for what's expiring and when.
You're not disorganized. Your current tools just weren't built for compliance automation. That changes today.

Three steps to compliance automation
Choose your compliance framework
Select GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, or financial services 7-year rule. AlpacaRelay automatically configures retention policies, alert thresholds (30/14/7/1 days), and archival destinations. Customization available but not required.
Connect your template library
Link your email builder (native integration for AlpacaRelay, API for others) or upload template inventory. AlpacaRelay scans for GIFs, tags, versions, and applies retention policies automatically.
Receive alerts, execute compliance
Teams get proactive notifications when templates approach expiration. One click to archive, delete, or extend with full audit trail. Compliance policies execute automatically; team just decides yes/no.
From compliance teams solving this problem right now
Hear how AlpacaRelay helps marketers, designers, and founders create better emails together.
“I was spending 8+ hours monthly maintaining a Google Sheet with 200+ template expiration dates. AlpacaRelay reduced that to 2 hours and gave me confidence that auditors could see exactly what happened to every template. Peace of mind is priceless.”
Sarah Chen
Compliance Officer, Regional Bank (250+ employees)
“We lost an amazing campaign template from 2022 that converted 3x better than average. AlpacaRelay ensures that never happens again. Now we're building on past wins instead of starting from scratch every quarter.”
Marcus Johnson
Email Marketing Manager, E-commerce Retailer (50-person team)

No. AlpacaRelay works alongside your existing email tool (Stripo, HubSpot, beefree.io, etc.). Your team keeps building emails exactly as before. We add the compliance alerting layer your current tool doesn't have. 68% of customers use both tools together.
Yes. We're SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR compliant, and HIPAA-ready. We encrypt data in transit and at rest, maintain immutable audit logs, undergo quarterly third-party security audits, and never access your template content without permission. HIPAA Business Associate Agreement and security data sheet available for verification.
One compliance officer spending 8+ hours/month on manual retention tracking costs $12K-15K annually in labor. AlpacaRelay is typically $3K-5K/year. Payback in 3-4 months through time savings alone. Beyond labor: a single compliance audit failure costs $50K+ in remediation; a GDPR fine starts at €10M. ROI is measured in weeks, not months. Free 30-day trial available so you can measure actual time savings before committing.
No lock-in. We provide full data export (templates, policies, audit logs in standard formats) and open APIs for migrations. No long-term contracts required; month-to-month or annual options available. Your data is yours. If you need to leave, we facilitate export within 48 hours. 98% annual retention rate shows customers stay because we solve the problem better, not because of lock-in.
You're already doing compliance alert work manually in a spreadsheet. AlpacaRelay isn't a new task; it's automating something your team was already doing. Most new users say 'this just makes the thing I was already doing way easier.' No new workflow for designers or marketers—they get an alert when a template is expiring, they decide yes/no. Onboarding is 1-2 hours per team member, not days. 87% user adoption within 2 weeks.
Absolutely. Configure different retention windows for GIFs vs. templates, marketing campaigns vs. transactional emails. Set role-based alert recipients (compliance officer, team lead, designer). Choose notification channels (email, Slack, Teams). All customization available in-app without technical support required.
Stop managing compliance manually. Start automating today.
28 minutes is all it takes to see your first retention alert. No credit card required.
