What does the Postmark Make integration let you do?
The Postmark Make integration links your Postmark account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario (the automation itself, a chain of modules). Postmark tells Make when an email bounces (comes back undelivered), gets opened, clicked or answered, and Make reacts: it sends an email, pulls statistics or passes the data to another app.
A cleaner contact list. Watch Bounced Emails and Watch Spam Complaints fire the moment Postmark records the problem. Your scenario can then flag the address in your CRM, so nobody keeps writing to a dead or annoyed inbox.
Replies that don't sit in a queue. Watch Inbound Emails catches messages sent to your Postmark inbound stream (the address where Postmark receives mail for you), and Send an Email answers the sender with or without one of your templates. Handy for a support desk or a contact form.
Numbers where your team reads them. The statistics modules (sent, opened, clicked, bounced, spam complaints) return a server's figures so you can push them to a sheet or a chat channel after a release or a campaign.
Limits worth knowing: the Make documentation for Postmark is marked as AI-generated and asks you to check anything important with Postmark directly. For anything the 33 modules skip, Make an API Call reaches the rest of the Postmark API. The same app also has a node in n8n, described in the Postmark n8n integration page, and the n8n vs Make comparison helps you pick a tool. New to Make? The Make training starts from zero.
How do you connect Postmark to Make?
- 01
Grab your API token in Postmark
You need an active Postmark account and a verified sender address. Log in to Postmark, open the dashboard, click the API Tokens tab and copy the token shown there. Keep it at hand for the next step.
- 02
Add a Postmark module in Make
In your scenario, add any Postmark module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Postmark account linked to Make once, then reused by every Postmark module. The Connection name field is optional but helps when you run several servers.
- 03
Paste the credentials and save
Enter the credentials you copied from Postmark, or follow the instructions Make shows on screen, then save. Make now lists the options it can read from your account when you fill in a module.
Your first scenario: answer inbound emails automatically
GoalWhen an email lands in your Postmark inbound stream, Make sends the sender a confirmation right away.
- 01
Create the scenario
Open the Scenarios page in Make, create a new scenario and click the big + to add your first module. That first module is the trigger, the event that starts everything.
- 02
Add Watch Inbound Emails
Search for Postmark, pick Watch Inbound Emails, click Create a webhook, then Create a connection with your API token. The lightning badge on the module means it is instant.
- 03
Add Send an Email
Click the + to the right of the trigger and choose Postmark Send an Email. Map the sender of the inbound message into the recipient, and write a short confirmation or pick a template.
- 04
Test with Run once
Click Run once, then send a test message to your inbound stream. Each module shows the bundles it received (a bundle is one item passed along, here one email). Check that the reply went out.
- 05
Switch it on
Turn the scenario on. Because the trigger is instant, Postmark wakes it for each new inbound email. Each module run counts as one operation, the unit Make measures on your plan.
Postmark triggers in Make
8 modules start a scenario when something happens in Postmark. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Postmark as soon as it happens.
Watch Bounced Emails
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggers when bounces are received.”
Starts your scenario each time Postmark reports a bounce, so a failed delivery lands in your tools instead of hiding in a dashboard nobody opens.
Watch Clicked Emails
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggers when a tracked link is clicked.”
This one reacts when someone clicks a tracked link in an email you sent through Postmark. Each click becomes a bundle your next modules can use.
Watch Delivered Emails
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggers when an email has been successfully delivered.”
Confirmation that a message actually reached the recipient's server. Watch Delivered Emails fires on each successful delivery and passes it to the rest of your scenario.
Watch Inbound Emails
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggers when new inbound emails are received.”
Turns incoming mail into a starting point. When Postmark receives a new inbound email, this trigger hands it to Make so you can route, answer or store it.
Watch Opened Emails
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggers when a recipient opens an email.”
Tells your scenario that a recipient opened one of your emails. It suits follow-ups that only make sense once the message has been seen.
Watch Outbound Events
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggers when a bounce, click, delivery, opened email, spam complaint or subscription change happens depending on the user's preference.”
The catch-all trigger for sent mail. One module covers bounces, clicks, deliveries, opens, spam complaints and subscription changes, depending on the events you select.
Watch Spam Complaints
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggers when a user clicks This is Spam or Mark as Spam in their email clients.”
Fires when a recipient clicks the spam button in their email client on a message you sent. That complaint is a strong signal, and this trigger makes sure someone hears it.
Watch Subscription Change
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggers when an email address is added or removed from a Stream Surpression list.”
Keeps your lists in sync with Postmark. It starts the scenario when an address is added to or removed from a stream's suppression list in Postmark.

Activate a Bounce
ActionIn Make“Activates a bounce.”
Reactivates a bounced address in Postmark so it can receive your emails again. The fix happens inside Postmark, not only in your records.
Get a Bounce
ActionIn Make“Retrieves a bounce.”
Pulls one specific bounce from Postmark with its details, so your scenario can decide what to do based on facts rather than a guess.
Get a Bounce Dump
ActionIn Make“Retrieves a bounce dump.”
Retrieves the bounce dump Postmark keeps for one bounce. The Make documentation does not say what it contains, so run it once and read the bundle before you rely on it.
Get an Inbound Email's Details
ActionIn Make“Retrieves the details of an inbound email.”
Fetches the full details of one inbound email Postmark received. Useful when the trigger or a search gave you the message but you need everything about it in one bundle.
Get an Outbound Email's Details
ActionIn Make“Retrieves the details of an outbound email.”
Looks up one email you sent through Postmark and returns its details. It answers the question a customer asks support: did you actually send it?
Get Bounced Emails Statistics
ActionIn Make“Retrieves statistics on your server's bounced emails.”
Returns bounce statistics for your Postmark server, the aggregate view instead of bounce by bounce. It shows whether a problem is a single address or a pattern.
Get Browser Platform Usage Statistics
ActionIn Make“Retrieves statistics on the browser platforms used to open the links in your emails (Link Tracking).”
Reports which browser platforms people used to open the links in your emails, based on Postmark link tracking. It tells desktop from mobile clicking habits.
Get Browser Usage Statistics
ActionIn Make“Retrieves statistics on the browsers used to open the links in your emails (Link Tracking).”
Lists the browsers behind the clicks on your email links, again drawn from link tracking. Where the previous module speaks of platforms, this one names the browsers.
Get Click Location Statistics
ActionIn Make“Retrieves statistics on which part of the email links were clicked from (HTML or Text) (Link Tracking).”
Shows whether clicks came from the HTML part of your emails or from the plain text version. A small detail that settles design debates quickly.
Get Delivery Statistics
ActionIn Make“Retrieves the bounce statistics of a server.”
Gives the bounce statistics of a server in one call. Despite its name, the documentation describes it as a bounce overview, which makes it a quick health check.
Get Email Client Usage Statistics
ActionIn Make“Retrieves statistics on the email clients used to open your emails (Open Tracking).”
Tells you which email clients your recipients use to open your messages, based on Postmark open tracking. Great input before redesigning a template.
Get Email Platform Usage Statistics
ActionIn Make“Retrieves statistics on the platforms used to open your emails (Open Tracking).”
Breaks down opens by platform, so you see whether your audience reads on desktop, mobile or webmail. It comes from open tracking, not from clicks.
Get Link Clicks Statistics
ActionIn Make“Retrieves statistics on your server's emails clicked links (Link Tracking).”
Returns click statistics for the tracked links of your server's emails. It is the number to watch when an email's job is to send people somewhere.
Get Opened Emails Statistics
ActionIn Make“Retrieves statistics on your server's opened emails (Open Tracking).”
Brings back the open statistics of your server, using Postmark open tracking. A simple way to see if subject lines are doing their job.
Get Outbound Emails Statistics
ActionIn Make“Retrieves a brief overview of the outbound emails statistics of a server.”
The short summary of everything a server sent: a brief overview of outbound statistics in one bundle. Start here before reaching for the detailed reports.
Get Sent Emails Statistics
ActionIn Make“Retrieves statistics on your server's sent emails.”
Counts the emails your server sent. It is the baseline every other rate is measured against, which is why it belongs in any email report.
Get Spam Complaints Statistics
ActionIn Make“Retrieves statistics on your server's spam complaints.”
Returns how many spam complaints your server received, the figure mailbox providers care about most. A rise here is a warning worth sharing.
Get Tracked Emails Statistics
ActionIn Make“Retrieves statistics on your server's tracked emails.”
Reports how many of your server's emails were tracked. It helps you read the other numbers: low opens may simply mean few emails had tracking on.
Make an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”
Your way out when none of the 33 modules does what you need. It calls any endpoint of the Postmark API with the connection you already set up.
Send an Email
ActionIn Make“Sends an email with or without template.”
Sends an email through Postmark, either written in the module or based on one of your Postmark templates. It is the module most scenarios end with.
List an Email's Clicks
SearchIn Make“Retrieves information on how and when a link was clicked in an email.”
Returns every recorded click on one email: how and when each link was clicked. As a search, it can return zero, one or several bundles.
List an Email's Opens
SearchIn Make“Retrieves information on how and when an email was opened.”
Gives you the open history of one message, with how and when it was opened. A good fit when one important email deserves a closer look.
List Bounces
SearchIn Make“Retrieves all (filtered) bounces on a server.”
Retrieves the bounces of a server, filtered if you want. It is the search to use when you need the list itself, not a single case.
List Inbound Emails
SearchIn Make“Retrieves all inbound emails of a server. Emails expire after 45 days.”
Pulls the inbound emails a server received. Unlike Watch Inbound Emails, it looks back at what already arrived instead of waiting for the next one.
List Outbound Emails
SearchIn Make“Retrieves all outbound emails of a server. Emails expire after 45 days.”
Searches the emails your server sent and returns them as bundles. It helps when you need to act on past sends rather than new ones.
