Postmark Email
Access Postmark's transactional email platform via the Postmark API. Inspect outbound messages, templates, and delivery events. Review bounce, spam, and engagement statistics. Manage webhooks and message streams.
This skill uses ClawLink for hosted connection flows and credentials so you do not need to configure Postmark API access yourself.

Install
Install the verified ClawLink plugin from ClawHub. After the user confirms, complete the full setup so ClawLink tools are visible in the next OpenClaw chat.
openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart
Then tell the user: "OpenClaw has been restarted. Send /new as a standalone message to start a fresh chat, then ask for Postmark again."
Quick Start
# Get outbound overview
clawlink_call_tool --tool "postmark_get_outbound_overview" --params '{}'
# Search outbound messages
clawlink_call_tool --tool "postmark_search_outbound_messages" --params '{"status": "sent"}'
# List templates
clawlink_call_tool --tool "postmark_list_templates" --params '{}'
Authentication
All Postmark tool calls are authenticated automatically by ClawLink using the user's Postmark account.
No API key is required in chat. ClawLink stores the API key securely and injects it into every Postmark API request on the user's behalf.
Getting Connected
- Install the ClawLink plugin (see Install above).
- Pair the plugin with
clawlink_begin_pairingif it is not configured yet. - Open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=postmark and connect Postmark.
- Call
clawlink_list_integrationsto verify the connection is active.
Connection Management
List Connections
clawlink_list_integrations
Response: Returns all connected integrations. Look for postmark in the list.
Verify Connection
clawlink_list_tools --integration postmark
Response: Returns the live tool catalog for Postmark.
Reconnect
If Postmark tools are missing or the connection shows an error:
- Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=postmark
- After they confirm, call
clawlink_list_integrationsto verify - Then call
clawlink_list_tools --integration postmark
Security& Permissions
- Access is scoped to messages, templates, streams, and webhooks within the connected Postmark server.
- All write operations require explicit user confirmation. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.
- Destructive actions (delete template, delete webhook, archive stream) must be confirmed.
- Server configuration changes affect all email sending on that server.

Discovery Workflow
- Call
clawlink_list_integrationsto confirm Postmark is connected. - Call
clawlink_list_tools --integration postmarkto see the live catalog. - Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
- If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call
clawlink_search_toolswith a short query and integrationpostmark. - If no Postmark tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=postmark.
Execution Workflow
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ READ OPERATIONS (Safe) │
│ list → get → search → describe → call │
│ │
│ Example: Get outbound overview → List templates → Report │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
│
▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ WRITE OPERATIONS (Require Confirmation) │
│ list → get → describe → preview → confirm → call │
│ │
│ Example: Describe tool → Preview changes → User approves │
│ → Execute update │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- For unfamiliar tools, ambiguous requests, or any write action, call
clawlink_describe_toolfirst. - Use the returned guidance, schema,
whenToUse,askBefore,safeDefaults,examples, andfollowupsto shape the call. - Prefer read, list, search, and get operations before writes when that reduces ambiguity.
- For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call
clawlink_preview_toolfirst. - Execute with
clawlink_call_tool. Pass confirmation only after the preview matches the user's intent. - If the tool call fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.
Notes
- Postmark API has rate limits. Use exponential backoff when encountering 429 errors.
- SpamComplaint suppressions cannot be removed from the suppression list — only HardBounce and ManualSuppression can be deleted.
- Archived message streams are permanently deleted after 45 days.
- Webhook triggers require link tracking to be enabled for click and open events.
- Date range filters use ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD).
Error Handling
| Status / Error | Meaning |
|----------------|---------|
| Tool not found | The tool name does not exist in the current catalog. Verify with clawlink_list_tools --integration postmark. |
| Missing connection | Postmark is not connected. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=postmark. |
| not_found | Template, webhook, or stream does not exist. Check the ID. |
| validation_error | Invalid parameter or missing required field. Review the tool schema with clawlink_describe_tool. |
| Rate limited | Too many requests. Wait and retry with exponential backoff. |
| Write rejected | User did not confirm a write action. Always confirm before executing writes. |
Troubleshooting: Tools Not Visible
- Check that the ClawLink plugin is installed:
openclaw plugins list - If the plugin is installed but tools are missing, tell the user to send
/newas a standalone message to reload the catalog. - If a fresh chat does not help, run:
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json openclaw gateway restart - After restart, tell the user to send
/newagain and retry.
Troubleshooting: Invalid Tool Call
- Ensure the integration slug is exactly
postmark. - Use
clawlink_describe_toolto verify parameter names and types before calling. - For write operations, always call
clawlink_preview_toolfirst.
