How to Send Bookly Data to Postmark
Postmark is a transactional email platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Bookly handles an appointment is booked on your WordPress site. Postmark is where that data needs to go. Here is how to connect them without Zapier or code.
Why not just use Zapier?
For connecting Bookly to transactional email, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Bookly installed and configured.
- A Postmark account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Postmark to AFI
- Log in to your Postmark account.
- Go to Settings → API and copy your Server API Token.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Postmark.
- Paste the API Token and click Save Changes.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Bookly to Postmark.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Bookly as the form provider. AFI fires when an appointment is booked, giving you access to customer name, email, phone, service name, staff member, appointment date, and time.
3. Select Postmark as the destination
Choose Postmark from the platform dropdown and pick Add Mailing List Member. This adds a member to a Postmark mailing list.
4. Map fields
Match each Postmark field on the left to the corresponding Bookly field on the right. Common mappings include customer name, email, phone, service name, staff member, appointment date, and time. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in Bookly. Check Postmark to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps email and name to Postmark with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
