Developer Experience Comparison

See how inbound's TypeScript-first approach compares to Postmark's basic webhook format.

Postmark Inbound Webhook

// Postmark webhook handler
app.post('/postmark-webhook', (req, res) => {
  const email = req.body
  
  // Basic webhook payload
  console.log('From:', email.FromFull?.Email)
  console.log('Subject:', email.Subject)
  console.log('TextBody:', email.TextBody)
  console.log('HtmlBody:', email.HtmlBody)
  
  // Manual attachment processing
  if (email.Attachments) {
    email.Attachments.forEach(attachment => {
      // Base64 decode, file handling...
      const content = Buffer.from(
        attachment.Content, 'base64'
      )
    })
  }
  
  // No type safety, basic data structure
  res.status(200).send('OK')
})

inbound TypeScript Webhook

// inbound webhook handler (TypeScript)
app.post('/inbound-webhook', (req, res) => {
  const { email }: InboundWebhookPayload = req.body
  
  // Rich, structured data with types
  const parsedEmail = email.parsedData
  
  // Full type safety and IntelliSense
  console.log('From:', parsedEmail.from.address)
  console.log('Name:', parsedEmail.from.name)
  console.log('Subject:', parsedEmail.subject)
  console.log('Text:', parsedEmail.textBody)
  console.log('HTML:', parsedEmail.htmlBody)
  
  // Attachments already processed and typed
  parsedEmail.attachments.forEach(attachment => {
    console.log('File:', attachment.filename)
    console.log('Size:', attachment.size)
    console.log('Type:', attachment.contentType)
    // Direct access to processed content
  })
  
  res.status(200).json({ success: true })
})
