Postmark binding spec
Detailed documentation on the Postmark binding component
Component format
To setup Postmark binding create a component of type bindings.postmark. See this guide on how to create and apply a binding configuration.
apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
name: postmark
spec:
type: bindings.postmark
metadata:
- name: accountToken
value: "YOUR_ACCOUNT_TOKEN" # required, this is your Postmark account token
- name: serverToken
value: "YOUR_SERVER_TOKEN" # required, this is your Postmark server token
- name: emailFrom
value: "testapp@dapr.io" # optional
- name: emailTo
value: "dave@dapr.io" # optional
- name: subject
value: "Hello!" # optional
Warning
The above example uses secrets as plain strings. It is recommended to use a secret store for the secrets as described here.Spec metadata fields
| Field | Required | Binding support | Details | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
accountToken | Y | Output | The Postmark account token, this should be considered a secret value | "account token" |
serverToken | Y | Output | The Postmark server token, this should be considered a secret value | "server token" |
emailFrom | N | Output | If set this specifies the ‘from’ email address of the email message | "me@exmaple.com" |
emailTo | N | Output | If set this specifies the ’to’ email address of the email message | "me@example.com" |
emailCc | N | Output | If set this specifies the ‘cc’ email address of the email message | "me@example.com" |
emailBcc | N | Output | If set this specifies the ‘bcc’ email address of the email message | "me@example.com" |
subject | N | Output | If set this specifies the subject of the email message | "me@example.com" |
You can specify any of the optional metadata properties on the output binding request too (e.g. emailFrom, emailTo, subject, etc.)
Combined, the optional metadata properties in the component configuration and the request payload should at least contain the emailFrom, emailTo and subject fields, as these are required to send an email with success.
Binding support

create
