About Postmark

Where your application's mail goes out.

Postmark is a transactional email service built around a clear split: every send belongs to a Message Stream, and transactional streams (password resets, receipts, shipping notices, failed-payment alerts) run on a different sending pool than broadcast streams (newsletters, product announcements). The product surface is an Email API, an SMTP relay, templates, inbound parsing, and webhooks for delivery, bounce, open, click and spam-complaint events. The audience is engineering teams that want one job done well: the message that has to arrive within seconds of the event that fired it, in the inbox, with a clean trail of what happened.

The data the connector lifts into a warehouse is the picture finance, support and operations need but rarely see. Sends per stream, per server and per template. Bounces and spam complaints with the address and the reason. Opens and clicks tied back to the customer record. Time from send to delivery per mailbox provider. Joined to the order that triggered the receipt, the invoice that triggered the dunning mail or the support ticket that triggered the resolution notice, the same message log becomes a deliverability dashboard, a billing-cycle audit and a customer-history lookup at the same time.

What your Postmark data is for

What you get once Postmark is connected.

Transactional deliverability on one timeline

Time-to-inbox, bounce rate and click-through per template and per Message Stream, side by side with the business events that triggered each send.

  • Time from send to delivery per mailbox provider
  • Bounce and spam-complaint rate per template and per server
  • Open and click rate joined to the customer the message went to

Address-state automation

Keep bounce, complaint and unsubscribe state aligned with the CRM, the billing system and the support tool.

  • Hard bounces flagged on the contact before the next dunning mail fires
  • Stripe retries pause when Postmark reports the address blocked
  • Support tickets opened automatically when an invoice mail bounces

AI workflows

Turn Postmark event history into scoring that decides what gets sent, retried or routed to a human.

  • Inbox-placement scoring per template and per sending domain
  • Soft-bounce recovery scoring to time the next retry on a flaky address
  • Anomaly detection on send volume to catch a runaway loop early

Custom apps on your data

Internal tools on Postmark data for teams that don't live in the Postmark console.

  • Per-customer mail history for support, with delivery, open and bounce status
  • Deliverability view per Message Stream and per server
  • Template review screen showing which templates still get opened

Real business questions

Answers you will finally get.

Are our order receipts reaching the inbox in seconds, the way the customer expects?

Median time-to-inbox per mailbox provider, joined to the Shopify or Stripe order that triggered each receipt. Catches the slow drift on a single provider before customer service gets the third call this week asking where the confirmation went.

Which transactional template is starting to bounce more than the others?

Hard- and soft-bounce rate per template over the last thirty days, with a marker on the day the template was edited. Flags the receipt template that started landing in Promotions after a designer added a tracking pixel, before three weeks of confirmations have trained Gmail to keep doing it.

Is our transactional stream still clean from anything that ran on the broadcast stream?

Send volume, bounce rate and complaint rate per Message Stream, per server and per template. The transactional stream stays separate from broadcast stream activity, and the moment a template gets sent on the wrong stream, the dashboard shows it on the same screen as the customers it went to.

Value for everyone in the organisation

Where each function gets value.

For finance leaders

Transactional-send cost per template and per Message Stream against the orders, invoices or tickets that triggered each batch. The mail bill stops being a flat SaaS line and gets tied to the business volume it served.

For sales leaders

Full send, open and bounce history per CRM contact in the same record your reps already open, so a customer who never received the last quote because the mail bounced becomes visible instead of being guessed at.

For operations

Time-to-inbox, bounce rate and template-level engagement per Message Stream over ninety days. Deliverability is followed as a curve, with each dip joined to the template change or the address list that caused it.

Ideas

What you can automate with Postmark.

Pair with Stripe

Pause Stripe dunning when Postmark can't reach the customer

Hard bounces and spam complaints on invoice and failed-payment templates push into Stripe as a contact flag. The dunning retry stops firing another mail at an address that is already blocking the domain, and finance gets a queue of customers who need a phone call instead of a louder reminder.

Pair with Shopify

Join Shopify orders to Postmark confirmation deliverability

Shopify order events are matched to the Postmark confirmation that followed them, with delivery time, open status and bounce reason on the same row. Orders whose confirmation bounced surface on the support queue before the customer phones in to ask where their receipt is, and the logistics side sees how often the shipping notice reaches the inbox in the first place.

Pair with HubSpot

Sync Postmark send history into HubSpot contact records

Every transactional mail a contact received from Postmark appears on the HubSpot contact timeline with delivery, open and bounce status. Sales reps stop resending an offer that already bounced four times, and support sees the password-reset mail that never arrived without the customer having to explain it twice.

Pair with Slack

Post Postmark deliverability alerts into Slack

Spikes in bounce rate, spam complaints or time-to-inbox per Message Stream land in a Slack channel the engineering and ops teams already watch, with the offending template, server and stream named in the message. Deliverability incidents get triaged in minutes instead of being noticed the next morning when the support queue starts filling up.

Your existing tools

Your data lands in a warehouse. Your BI tools read from it.

You keep the reporting tool you already have. We connect it to the warehouse where your Postmark data lives.

Three steps

From Postmark to answers in three steps.

01

Connect securely

OAuth authentication. Read-only by default. We sign a DPA and your admin keeps the keys.

02

Land in your warehouse

Data flows into your warehouse on your schedule. Near real time or nightly, your call. You own the data.

03

Reporting, automation, AI

We build the first dashboard, workflow or AI feature with you, then hand over the keys. Or we stay on for ongoing delivery.

Two ways to work with us

Pick the track that fits how you work.

Track 01

Self-serve

We set up the foundation. Your team builds on top.

  • Postmark connector configured and running
  • Warehouse set up in your cloud account
  • Clean access for your Power BI, Fabric or Tableau team
  • Documentation on what's in the data model
  • Sync monitoring so you're warned before reports break

Best fit Teams that already have a BI analyst or data engineer and want to own the build.

Track 02

Done for you

We build the whole thing, end to end.

  • Everything in Self-serve
  • Dashboards built to the questions your team actually asks
  • Automations between your systems
  • AI workflows scoped to real tasks your team runs
  • Custom apps where a dashboard does not cut it
  • Ongoing delivery at a pace that fits your team

Best fit Teams without in-house BI or dev capacity. You tell us what you need and we deliver it.

Before you book

Frequently asked questions.

Who owns the data?

You do. It lands in your warehouse, on your cloud account. We don't resell or aggregate it. If you stop working with us, the warehouse stays yours and keeps running.

How fresh is the data?

Near real time for most operational systems. For heavier sources we schedule hourly or nightly. You pick based on what the reports need.

Do I need a warehouse already?

No. If you don't have one, we help you pick one and set it up as part of the first delivery. Common starting points are Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, or a small Postgres start.

How does the connector handle Message Streams?

Each Message Stream lands as its own dimension in the warehouse, with sends, bounces, complaints, opens and clicks attributed per stream. Transactional streams stay separate from broadcast streams in the data the way they stay separate in Postmark itself, so a template that accidentally fires on the wrong stream is visible the same day instead of being averaged away in a combined number.

Does the sync work across multiple Postmark servers?

Yes. Each Postmark server lands in its own schema with its own templates, message streams and stats, plus a shared template and sending-domain dimension on top. Setups that split staging, production and per-brand sending across separate servers get a per-server view and a consolidated one without merging anything by hand in the Postmark console.

Does the connector still work now that Postmark sits inside ActiveCampaign?

Yes. ActiveCampaign acquired Postmark in 2022 and the product runs on the same Email API, SMTP relay and webhook surface that existed before. Integrations labelled Postmark point at the same system, so what was set up before the acquisition keeps working.
