Configuring Postmark API
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 Servers → Create 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.
Postmark Pricing (2026)
| Plan | Price | Included Emails | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Developer | $0 | 100 / mo | Testing |
| Pro | $16.50 | 10,000 / mo | Startups |
| Business | $50+ | 50,000+ / mo | Scaling Apps |
🚀 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.
