Send an email in Postmark when a record is changed in Airtable

What each client fills in

Postmark: From

For example Northside Plumbing <hello@northside.example>

Who it goes to (Postmark)

The address that gets it: yours, or the client’s team.

Airtable: Base ID

For example appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Airtable: Table

For example Leads

Airtable: Last modified time field

A field of type “Last modified time” in this table.

The accounts it needs

Each is the client’s own, stored encrypted and never copied between clients. Until one is added the client’s checklist shows it, and nothing runs.

• Airtable

  airtable.com/create/tokens → Create token → scopes data.records:write and data.records:read (lookups and the triggers) → add the client’s base → copy the token.

• 

  Postmark → the client’s server → API Tokens → copy the Server API token. The From address must be a confirmed sender signature or on a verified domain.

After you install it

It lands switched off. The client’s checklist holds exactly this:

1. Connect the client’s Airtable, for “A record is changed”
2. Connect the client’s Postmark, for “Send an email”
3. Fill in Airtable: Base ID (For example appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)
4. Fill in Airtable: Table (For example Leads)
5. Fill in Airtable: Last modified time field (A field of type “Last modified time” in this table)
6. Fill in Postmark: From (For example Northside Plumbing <hello@northside.example>)
7. Fill in Who it goes to (Postmark) (The address that gets it: yours, or the client’s team)
