Postmark Connector

Using Descope's connectors allows you to use Postmark, a fast and reliable email delivery service designed for transactional emails, in your authentication flow. This article will guide you through setting up the connector and incorporating it into your flow.

Configure Postmark connector

Descope uses your Postmark Server API Token and Sender address to integrate with the service. Start at your dashboard. Navigate to the Postmark connector: Dashboard -> Connectors -> Postmark

Now, complete the required fields:

• Connector name: Custom name for your connector. This will come in handy when creating multiple connectors from the same connector template.
• Connector description: (Optional) Describe what your connector is used for.
• Server API Token: The Server API Token from your Postmark server. You can find this in your Postmark account under Servers -> API Tokens.
• Message Stream ID: The ID of the message stream to use for the emails.
• From Email Address: The email address that will appear in the 'From' field of the sent email.

Testing

You can test if your connector's configuration is working properly simply by hitting the Test button and viewing the Test Results panel.

Save your configuration by hitting Create.
