Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Postmark Overview#

What Is the Postmark API?

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.

What Can You Build With the Postmark API?

The Postmark API allows developers to easily incorporate automated email notifications into their applications. Some examples of what you can build using the API are:

Welcome emails
Password reset emails
Email verification reminders
Event notification emails
Automated transactional emails
Billing and invoicing emails
Receipt emails
Email newsletters
Auto-responders and more!

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)",

    ...common.props,
    trackOpensByDefault: {
      type: "boolean",
      label: "Track opens by default",
      description: `If enabled, all emails being sent through this server will have open tracking enabled by default. Otherwise, only emails that have open tracking explicitly set will trigger this event when opened.
        \\
        **Note:** only emails with \`HTML Body\` will have open tracking enabled.
        `,
    },
    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 {
        PostFirstOpenOnly: this.postFirstOpenOnly,
        TrackOpens: this.trackOpensByDefault,
      };
    },
    getWebhookType() {
      return "OpenHookUrl";
    },
  },
};

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	`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 opens by default	`trackOpensByDefault`	`boolean`	If enabled, all emails being sent through this server will have open tracking enabled by default. Otherwise, only emails that have open tracking explicitly set will trigger this event when opened. Note: only emails with `HTML Body` will have open tracking enabled.
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.
