Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every day at 8am, email me yesterday's Postmark sent count, bounce rate and number of spam complaints for my Transactional server.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Why use it

Why teams use this automation

A founder or developer who runs transactional email through Postmark rarely checks the stats page until something is wrong. By the time a customer says a receipt never arrived, the bounce rate may have been climbing for a week, or a bad import may have produced a handful of spam complaints that are quietly lowering your sender reputation.

Each morning, ClickRuntime pulls Postmark's outbound overview for the previous day and emails you the numbers: messages sent, bounces, bounce rate, spam complaints and spam complaint rate. It reads a fixed full day, so the figures are comparable from one email to the next and you can scan them in a few seconds.

It suits small teams without a dedicated email person, and anyone who wants a record of sending volume that does not depend on remembering to log in.

What you get out of it

Rate changes show up the next morning
A bounce rate that moves from 1 percent to 4 percent is easy to miss in a dashboard you rarely open. In a daily email it stands out within a day, while you can still trace it to a specific import or release.
Volume doubles as a business signal
Sends per day track signups, orders and password resets. A sudden drop in messages can mean a broken checkout or a failed deploy, so the stats email sometimes reveals a problem unrelated to email entirely.
You build a history without effort
Every email is a dated snapshot of how sending went. When you need to explain a deliverability dip to a client or to Postmark support, you can scroll back instead of reconstructing the numbers from memory.
Complaints are caught while they are few
A spam complaint rate is a tiny percentage, so single digits of complaints matter. Seeing the count daily lets you pause a campaign or fix a sign-up form before mailbox providers start filtering you.
No login, no habit required
The numbers arrive where you already read mail. That removes the discipline problem, because a check that depends on remembering to look is the one that gets skipped during a busy launch week.

Build your own

Need it to work differently?

This template is a starting point. Copy the prompt and change it, or describe a different automation from scratch, with your own conditions, more apps or an AI step. Your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

Your own rules
Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.
Any number of apps
One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.
AI where it helps
Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.
On a schedule or on each event
Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

Changes you can ask for

Run it at a different time, more or less often, or only on weekdays
Add an AI step, for example to summarize, sort or draft a reply
Add another app, for example also send it to Slack
Combine it with other Postmark steps into one automation

Under the hood

The code that runs this automation

This is the Python script that runs each time the automation starts. Your AI assistant writes it for you when you send the prompt, and you allow each step in your assistant. To change how the automation works, describe the change to your assistant and it updates the script for you. For every function it can use, see the script reference.

daily_outbound_stats.pyexample

from datetime import date, timedelta
from clickruntime import on_trigger, credentials, http, notify

@on_trigger
def run(event):
    day = str(date.today() - timedelta(days=1))
    resp = http.get("https://api.postmarkapp.com/stats/outbound", params={"fromdate": day, "todate": day},
                    headers={"Accept": "application/json",
                             "X-Postmark-Server-Token": credentials.secret("POSTMARK_SERVER_TOKEN")})
    resp.raise_for_status()
    s = resp.json()
    notify.email_me(f"Postmark {day}: {s['Sent']} sent",
                    f"Sent: {s['Sent']}\nBounce rate: {s['BounceRate']}%\nSpam complaints: {s['SpamComplaints']}")
    return {"sent": s["Sent"], "bounce_rate": s["BounceRate"]}

FAQ

Common questions

Which day does the report cover?

It covers the previous full day, so an email that arrives Tuesday morning describes Monday. Using a completed day means the counts are final when you read them, and two consecutive reports never overlap or leave gaps.

What does Postmark count as a bounce versus a spam complaint?

A bounce is a message the receiving server rejected or could not deliver. A spam complaint is when the recipient clicked the spam button in their mail client and the provider reported it back to Postmark. They are counted separately in the overview.

Can the report cover just one message stream?

Postmark's overview can be filtered by tag and by message stream, so the report can be limited to your transactional stream if broadcast mail would skew the rates. Without a filter, it uses the totals for the whole server.

What permissions does it need?

Server token. Nothing else in your accounts is used.

Does it need AI?

No. It runs without AI, so it doesn't use your plan's AI allowance.

How many runs does it use?

One run each time it runs (daily). Checks that find nothing to do and stop right away aren't counted.

Can I change how it works?

Yes. Describe the change to your AI assistant, for example a different schedule, channel or filter. It updates the automation, tests it and tells you what changed.
