Common Setup
Authentication
Postmark uses two types of API tokens:
| Token | Header | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Server Token | X-Postmark-Server-Token |
Sending emails, templates, bounces, webhooks, message streams |
| Account Token | X-Postmark-Account-Token |
Managing servers, domains, sender signatures |
Get your Server API Token from Postmark Servers.
SDK Installation
Detect the project language and install the appropriate SDK:
| File | Language | Install Command |
|---|---|---|
package.json |
Node.js / TypeScript | npm install postmark |
requirements.txt / pyproject.toml |
Python | pip install postmarker |
Gemfile |
Ruby | gem install postmark |
composer.json |
PHP | composer require wildbit/postmark-php |
*.csproj / *.sln |
.NET | dotnet add package Postmark |
Message Streams
Postmark separates email by intent into Message Streams:
| Stream | Value | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Transactional | outbound |
1:1 triggered emails (welcome, password reset, receipts) — default |
| Broadcast | broadcast |
Marketing, newsletters, announcements |
Never mix transactional and broadcast email in the same stream — it damages deliverability.
