Setup Guide for Transactional Email Delivery (2026)

Postmark is a fast, developer-first transactional email service. To connect your platform, you only need two pieces of information: your Server Token and a Verified From Email.

Quick Prerequisites

  • A Postmark account (Free Developer plan available).
  • A verified sender signature (email or domain).

01 Create a Server

In the Postmark dashboard, navigate to ServersCreate Server. Give your server a name and choose the Transactional stream for your messages.

02 Retrieve Server Token

Inside your server settings, click on API Tokens in the sidebar. Copy the alphanumeric string shown there.

⚠️ Security: Treat your Server Token like a password. If compromised, regenerate it immediately in the API Tokens tab.

03 Verify Sender Signature

Go to Sender Signatures and add the email you wish to send from (e.g., hello@domain.com). Verify it via the confirmation email or DNS.

✅ Use this verified email in your config form

🚀 Success Tips

  • Domain Verification: Verifying your entire domain (DKIM) provides better deliverability than verifying a single email.
  • Message Streams: Keep your transactional and broadcast emails in separate streams to protect your sender reputation.
  • Activity Logs: Postmark provides 45 days of detailed logs—use these to troubleshoot delivery issues instantly.
