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 }) })
