This guide will list down the steps needed to integrate Postmark Email Server with UpViral Campaigns.
Setup Postmark
1. Create a Server on PostMark
To start off create an account on Postmark and click on “Create Server” and give a name to your server.
2. Adding your Sender Signatures and Verified Domains
In order to send through Postmark, you’ll need to have a Sender Signature set up for each address you want to use in the From field of your messages. If you are sending from several or more email addresses on a domain, you can use Domain Verification to verify an entire domain for sending.
Here is a guide to verify a domain on Postmark, but we suggest that you verify only 1 email.
Later on, if you need to add more Sender Signatures or Domains, you can add those on the “Sender Signatures” page.
Once you add a Sender Signature, a confirmation email will be sent automatically from Postmark to the email address you added.
Once you activate a Sender Signature, you’ll want to move onto configuring the authentication for the domain. But this is optional as only verifying 1 email address will be enough for UpViral ( in case you want to send and receive email on 1 email id only)
Note - If you proceed with Domain Verification, you will not need to add any more Sender Signatures for that domain since the entire domain will be authorized for sending through Postmark. This will also eliminate any further confirmation emails from needing to be sent.
Set Up UpViral
After setting up Postmark, the next step is to configure UpViral.
1. Add a Sender Profile in UpViral
You’ll now create a Sender Profile in UpViral.
Note: The Name and Email Address used in this Sender Profile must match the Sender Signature you created in Postmark.
Follow these steps:
Log in to your UpViral Dashboard and open your campaign’s SETUP page.
In the SETUP page, click EMAILS from the left panel under SETTINGS.
Under Email Sender Details, click + Add Email to create a new sender profile.
Enter the Name, Email Address, and Address for your sender profile.
Make sure these details match the Sender Signature you set up in Postmark.
Under Email Delivery Method click Postmark
In the API Key field, enter your Postmark API key.
In the Test Email field, enter an email address to receive a test message.
Click Save to apply the changes.
UpViral will need the PostMark API key to successfully connect and use PostMark email server.
To get your API Key, head back to the PostMark Dashboard > Your Server > Credentials Page and you will see a Server API key ( you can always generate new API Keys if you want)
Copy this Server API key and paste it in the UpViral Outgoing Email settings for PostMark.
Once done, click “Save” at the bottom of the page and the PostMark Email Server configuration is complete.
You can test it out by signing up for your contest / or your friend before you start promoting the contest to your audience.
