If you’ve got some failed emails in Postmark, don’t worry — resending them is easy. Whether it's inbound or outbound emails, follow these simple steps to get them back on track.
Step 1: Get Your API Token
First, grab your Postmark API token:
Log in to your Postmark account.
Navigate to your server.
Go to the
API Tokenssection and copy your token.
Step 2: Prepare Your cURL Command
Use this script to resend your failed emails. Replace <YOUR_API_TOKEN> with your actual token and update the message IDs:
API_TOKEN="<YOUR_API_TOKEN>"
INBOUND_MESSAGE_IDS=(
"a0c0-4262-53298da3-1626b52bbdad"
"9281-4c9c-19968944-fc762efa0780"
"1977-4545-44e34e2f-eaf3c77a042d"
)
OUTBOUND_MESSAGE_IDS=(
"0e98-4b3c-84e103f2-e816a17b908b"
"c7f3-409f-15dc175f-2aa477e41053"
"8fa3-4e7f-3c8dc320-cb49f17a8db7"
"9aca-404e-8414b0d6-4879b92e4c0d"
)
# Retry inbound messages
for MESSAGE_ID in "${INBOUND_MESSAGE_IDS[@]}"; do
curl -X PUT "https://api.postmarkapp.com/messages/inbound/${MESSAGE_ID}/retry" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-Postmark-Server-Token: ${API_TOKEN}" \
-d ""
done
# Retry outbound messages
for MESSAGE_ID in "${OUTBOUND_MESSAGE_IDS[@]}"; do
curl -X PUT "https://api.postmarkapp.com/messages/outbound/${MESSAGE_ID}/retry" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-Postmark-Server-Token: ${API_TOKEN}" \
-d ""
done
Step 3: Run the Script
Save the script to a file, for example resend_postmark_emails.sh, and run it with:
sh resend_postmark_emails.sh
Alternatively, run each curl command individually in your terminal.
And That’s It!
By following these steps, you can easily retry failed inbound and outbound emails in Postmark.
Happy emailing!
