Destinations

Destinations are inboxes and endpoints you attach to an Intake. Create them in the console, then link them when you create or edit an Intake.

Types

email

Notification to a verified inbox. Available on every plan.

webhook

HTTPS POST with a JSON payload. Hobby and Pro.

discord

Incoming channel webhook. Pro.

auto_reply

Reply to the visitor from send.{your-domain}. Pro. One per Intake.

Webhooks

PostMe POSTs JSON to your URL. Discord webhook URLs are rejected here — add those as a Discord destination instead. Failed deliveries are retried a few times.

headers
Content-Type: application/json
User-Agent: PostMe-Webhook/1
X-PostMe-Event: submission.created
X-PostMe-Timestamp: 1710000000
X-PostMe-Signature: v1=<hex>
body
{
  "event": "submission.created",
  "submissionId": "…",
  "captureKind": "intake",
  "captureId": "…",
  "intakeId": "your-id",
  "receivedAt": 1710000000000,
  "fields": { "name": "Ada", "message": "Hello" },
  "meta": { "subject": "New inquiry", "replyTo": "ada@example.com" },
  "referer": "https://yoursite.com/contact",
  "origin": "https://yoursite.com"
}

Console webhook destinations are signed. HMAC-SHA256 the string ${timestamp}.${rawBody} with the destination secret and compare to X-PostMe-Signature (v1=prefix). Reject if the timestamp is too old. The secret is on the destination page; you can rotate it there.

A one-off _webhook field is ignored unless the Intake has “Allow _webhook on the form” turned on. Prefer console destinations — anyone who can POST the form can otherwise add a URL. Form-field webhooks are unsigned.

Auto-reply

On Pro, connect a sending domain in the console. PostMe sends from send.yourdomain.com — never from the apex. Add the DNS records, then use Check DNS. Verification can take time; you can leave the page while it polls.

After the domain is verified, add an auto-reply destination and attach it to an Intake. The visitor address comes from _replyto or a field named email. Subject and body templates may use ${fieldName}.

Each Intake can have one auto-reply. Connect at most one sending domain per account.

Email shapes

Pro Intakes can customize the notification body with _pm_email* templates. See form fields.
