Migrate from Postmark

# Move from Postmark to OpenEmail.

Server tokens, message streams, templates and webhooks, mapped field by field, with a converter that rewrites your code.

[Convert your code](https://openemail.uk/migrate/postmark#convert) [Open mail](https://openemail.uk/mail/inbox) [Get Started](https://openemail.uk/signup.md)

## The same email, written both ways.

One message with a reply-to address and a tag, sent through Postmark and then through OpenEmail.

```
1import * as postmark from 'postmark'2 3const client = new postmark.ServerClient(process.env.POSTMARK_SERVER_TOKEN)4 5const result = await client.sendEmail({6  From: 'Acme <billing@acme.com>',7  To: 'ada@example.com',8  ReplyTo: 'support@acme.com',9  Subject: 'Your invoice is ready',10  HtmlBody: '<p>Thanks for your order.</p>',11  Tag: 'invoice',12  MessageStream: 'outbound',13})14 15console.log(result.MessageID)
```

```
1import { init, openemail } from '@openemail/sdk'2 3init({ apiKey: process.env.OPENEMAIL_API_KEY })4 5const email = await openemail.emails.send({6  from: 'Acme <billing@acme.com>',7  to: 'ada@example.com',8  replyTo: 'support@acme.com',9  subject: 'Your invoice is ready',10  html: '<p>Thanks for your order.</p>',11  tags: { tag: 'invoice' },12})13 14console.log(email.id)
```

## Field by field, what goes where.

Each option Postmark takes, and its place in OpenEmail.

| Postmark | OpenEmail | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `From, To, Cc, Bcc` | `from, to, cc, bcc` | Lists instead of comma separated strings. |
| `HtmlBody, TextBody` | `html, text` | Plain names for the two bodies. |
| `ReplyTo` | `replyTo` | One address per message. |
| `Tag, Metadata` | `tags` | Up to 10 key and value pairs. |
| `TrackOpens, TrackLinks` | `tracking: { opens, clicks }` | Two switches on each message. |
| `TemplateAlias, TemplateModel` | `template: { id, props }` | Recreate the template in OpenEmail first. |
| `Attachments[].Name` | `attachments[].filename` | Base64 or bytes, 5 MB in total. |
| `Headers: [{ Name, Value }]` | `headers: { Name: Value }` | One object of names and values. |
| `MessageStream` | `broadcasts.send` | Broadcasts have a call of their own. |
| `sendEmailBatch` | `emails.sendBatch` | Up to 100 emails, each sent on its own. |

Converter

## Paste your Postmark code, get it back on OpenEmail.

Pick where the code comes from and its language. Recognised keys are removed in your browser, and nothing you paste is kept.

From Postmark

Your OpenEmail code appears here

Paste a file, or load an example, then convert.

0 of 12,000 characters Recognised keys are removed before sending.

## Beyond the code, four more steps.

1. 01
   
   Add your sending domain
   
   Add it in OpenEmail and publish the DNS records it lists. Sending starts once the signing record answers.
2. 02
   
   Create an API key
   
   Keys start with oe\_live\_ and carry only the scopes you give them.
3. 03
   
   Move your webhooks
   
   Create an endpoint for the events listed below and check the X-OpenEmail-Signature header on every request.
4. 04
   
   Bring contacts and suppressions
   
   Import your contacts as a CSV on an audience page, and add the addresses Postmark suppressed to the suppression list.

## Webhook events, renamed.

Each Postmark event and the OpenEmail event that replaces it. Every request carries one event, signed.

| Postmark | OpenEmail |
| --- | --- |
| `Delivery` | `email.delivered` |
| `Bounce` | `email.bounced` |
| `SpamComplaint` | `email.complained` |
| `Open` | `email.opened` |
| `Click` | `email.clicked` |
| `SubscriptionChange` | `suppression.added` |
