Getting Started

Getting started with Postmark is very easy. Let's talk about pre-requisites:

Pre-requisites:

1. A Postmark Account: Sign up for a new account.
2. A "Server Token": Set up a new 'server' in your account.
3. A "Sender Signature": Create a sender signature here.

Sending your first email:

Postmark is designed to make sending email super easy, the following snippet shows how easy it is to get started:

using PostmarkDotNet;

public async Task SendTestMessage(){
	
	var client = new PostmarkClient("<server token>");

	try{
		var sendResult = await client.SendMessageAsync("<sender signature>", 
			"[email protected]", 
			"Hello from Postmark!",
			"This is just a friendly hello from your friends at Postmark.");
	}catch{
		//log/recover	
	}
}

This is the bare-minimum to send an email using the Postmark client, but you can do a great deal more with with the Postmark.Net library. Take special note that you should replace <server token> with the toekn you obtained in item two of the pre-requisites, and replace <sender signature> with the signature you obtained from item three of the pre-requisites above.
