Postmark Overview#

The Postmark API enables developers to easily integrate programmatic emailing into their applications. With the API, developers can create, send, and track transactional emails that are designed to enhance user experience and user engagement. The API also provides developers with access to powerful analytics and insights, such as open/click rates, spam complaints, bounces, and unsubscribes.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "postmark-new-email-opened",
  name: "New Email Opened",
  description:
    "Emit new event when an email is opened by a recipient [(See docs here)](https://postmarkapp.com/developer/webhooks/open-tracking-webhook)",

  type: "source",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    postFirstOpenOnly: {
      type: "boolean",
      label: "Track first open only",
      description: `If enabled, an event will only be emitted the first time the recipient opens the email.
        \\
        Otherwise, the event will be emitted every time an open occurs.`,
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getWebhookProps() {
      return {
        Triggers: {
          "Open": {
            "Enabled": true,
            "PostFirstOpenOnly": false,
          },
        },
      };
    },
    getSummary(body) {
      return `New email opened! MessageID - ${body.MessageID}`;
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Postmark	`postmark`	`app`	This component uses the Postmark app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Track first open only	`postFirstOpenOnly`	`boolean`	If enabled, an event will only be emitted the first time the recipient opens the email. Otherwise, the event will be emitted every time an open occurs.

Trigger Authentication#

Postmark uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Postmark account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Postmark APIs in both code and no-code steps.
