.. _postal-backend:
Postal
========
Anymail integrates with the `Postal`_ self-hosted transactional email platform,
using their `HTTP email API`_.
.. _Postal: https://postal.atech.media/
.. _HTTP email API: https://github.com/postalhq/postal/wiki/Using-the-API
Settings
--------
.. rubric:: EMAIL_BACKEND
To use Anymail's Postal backend, set:
.. code-block:: python
EMAIL_BACKEND = "anymail.backends.postal.EmailBackend"
in your settings.py.
.. setting:: ANYMAIL_POSTAL_API_KEY
.. rubric:: POSTAL_API_KEY
Required. A Postal API key.
.. code-block:: python
ANYMAIL = {
...
"POSTAL_API_KEY": "<your api key>",
}
Anymail will also look for ``POSTAL_API_KEY`` at the
root of the settings file if neither ``ANYMAIL["POSTAL_API_KEY"]``
nor ``ANYMAIL_POSTAL_API_KEY`` is set.
.. setting:: ANYMAIL_POSTAL_API_URL
.. rubric:: POSTAL_API_URL
Required. The base url for calling the Postal API.
.. setting:: ANYMAIL_POSTAL_WEBHOOK_KEY
.. rubric:: POSTAL_WEBHOOK_KEY
Required when using status tracking or inbound webhooks.
This should be set to the public key of the Postal instance.
You can find it by running `postal default-dkim-record` on your
Postal instance.
Use the part that comes after `p=`, until the semicolon at the end.
.. _postal-esp-extra:
esp_extra support
-----------------
To use Postal features not directly supported by Anymail, you can
set a message's :attr:`~anymail.message.AnymailMessage.esp_extra` to
a `dict` that will be merged into the json sent to Postal's
`email API`_.
Example:
.. code-block:: python
message.esp_extra = {
'HypotheticalFuturePostalParam': '2022', # merged into send params
}
(You can also set `"esp_extra"` in Anymail's
:ref:`global send defaults <send-defaults>` to apply it to all
messages.)
.. _email API: https://krystal.github.io/postal-api/controllers/send/message
Limitations and quirks
----------------------
Postal does not support a few tracking and reporting additions offered by other ESPs.
Anymail normally raises an :exc:`~anymail.exceptions.AnymailUnsupportedFeature`
error when you try to send a message using features that Postal doesn't support
You can tell Anymail to suppress these errors and send the messages anyway --
see :ref:`unsupported-features`.
**Single tag**
Postal allows a maximum of one tag per message. If your message has two or more
:attr:`~anymail.message.AnymailMessage.tags`, you'll get an
:exc:`~anymail.exceptions.AnymailUnsupportedFeature` error---or
if you've enabled :setting:`ANYMAIL_IGNORE_UNSUPPORTED_FEATURES`,
Anymail will use only the first tag.
**No delayed sending**
Postal does not support :attr:`~anymail.message.AnymailMessage.send_at`.
**Toggle click-tracking and open-tracking**
By default, Postal does not enable click-tracking and open-tracking.
To enable it, `see their docs on click- & open-tracking`_.
Anymail's :attr:`~anymail.message.AnymailMessage.track_clicks` and
:attr:`~anymail.message.AnymailMessage.track_opens` settings are unsupported.
.. _see their docs on click- & open-tracking: https://github.com/postalhq/postal/wiki/Click-&-Open-Tracking
**Attachments must be named**
Postal issues an `AttachmentMissingName` error when trying to send an attachment without name.
.. _postal-templates:
Batch sending/merge and ESP templates
-------------------------------------
Postal does not support batch sending or ESP templates.
.. _postal-webhooks:
Status tracking webhooks
------------------------
If you are using Anymail's normalized :ref:`status tracking <event-tracking>`, set up
a webhook in your Postal mail server settings, under Webhooks. The webhook URL is:
:samp:`https://{yoursite.example.com}/anymail/postal/tracking/`
* *yoursite.example.com* is your Django site
Choose all the event types you want to receive.
Postal signs its webhook payloads. You need to set :setting:`ANYMAIL_POSTAL_WEBHOOK_KEY`.
If you use multiple Postal mail servers, you'll need to repeat entering the webhook
settings for each of them.
Postal will report these Anymail :attr:`~anymail.signals.AnymailTrackingEvent.event_type`\s:
failed, bounced, deferred, queued, delivered, clicked.
The event's :attr:`~anymail.signals.AnymailTrackingEvent.esp_event` field will be
a `dict` of Postal's `webhook <https://github.com/postalhq/postal/wiki/Webhook-Events-&-Payloads>`_ data.
.. _postal-inbound:
Inbound webhook
---------------
If you want to receive email from Postal through Anymail's normalized :ref:`inbound <inbound>`
handling, follow Postal's guide to for receiving emails (Help > Receiving Emails) to create an
incoming route. Then set up an `HTTP Endpoint`, pointing to Anymail's inbound webhook.
The url will be:
:samp:`https://{yoursite.example.com}/anymail/postal/inbound/`
* *yoursite.example.com* is your Django site
Set `Format` to `Delivered as the raw message`.
You also need to set :setting:`ANYMAIL_POSTAL_WEBHOOK_KEY` to enable signature validation.
