How to connect Postmark to Salesforce
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Postmark account
- An active Salesforce account with API access enabled
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Admin or API access in Salesforce to authorize the connection
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Postmark
Click "Add Connection" and select Postmark from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Postmark's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your campaigns, audiences, and analytics data. You control which lists and campaigns the integration can modify.
- Step 03
Authenticate Salesforce
Same process for Salesforce. Click "Add Connection," select Salesforce, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry read/write access to your contacts, deals, and pipeline data. You choose which objects the integration can access.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new subscriber in postmark or new contact created in salesforce. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create contact in salesforce. Map the data fields between Postmark and Salesforce so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Postmark and Salesforce. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

Is my Postmark data secure when connected to Salesforce?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Postmark or Salesforce passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your marketing data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Postmark and Salesforce?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Postmark or Salesforce. For example, create a workflow where Postmark events update Salesforce, and a separate one where Salesforce changes sync back to Postmark. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Postmark and Salesforce?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use Postmark and Salesforce, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
