Quick Start
This page will teach you how to use Postman through simple steps.
Choose the channel.
Once you've logged in and click on Create new campaign button, you will be prompted with the following screen to choose your channel and fill in a campaign name.
Postman is a multi-channel messaging service that allows you to send messages through 3 channels:
However, do not that each channel has its own setup so do navigate to the specific section to find out more.
Campaign name is simply for your own record purpose, it does not appear in the email you send to the public
Once you've chosen your channel, the following steps should follow.
Step 1: Create a Message Template
Postman allows you to control how much personalisation should be sprinkled in each message. Message templates can be used in a few ways:
Message Template
Use Cases
No
{{ }}Generic message for everyone
Mostly standardised content with a few keywords like
{{name}} {{item}} for fields that are relevantAppointment reminder
{{keyword}}Unique message for everyone.
Postman has implemented a universal footer for all email campaigns in order to comply with Singapore's Spam Control Act and align with international bulk email practices (CAN-SPAM Act or EU’s ePrivacy Directive). Please go to our unsubscribe page to learn more about this feature.
Step 2: Set up a CSV contact list
Most of our users have an internal database that includes all of their contacts. You can export the contact list in a CSV file.
If you are not sure what to include in your csv file, you can
Download a sample .csv file in the step for uploading the recipient list in CSV format. - Make sure there is a field called recipient that will contain the phone number or email address.
- Make sure the headers are in lowercase
- Your email should be formatted like [email protected].
- Phone number should be formated like 88888888 with no space, no dash, and no +65.
We do not remove duplicates for recipients in view of some use cases that require sending unique messages to the same individual multiple times. Scroll down to the Remove Duplicates in Excel section to find out how to remove duplicates in excel.
Step 3: Send Your campaign
You can test the message by sending it to your self and then go ahead and send your campaign.
