Integrate workflows with the Mail Designer 365 API
Looking for a convenient transactional email solution to use with your third party app, service or database? The Mail Designer 365 API perfectly complements your everyday workflows.
Yes – the Mail Designer API lets you fill placeholders in your designs and send emails automatically. For instance, you can send personalized messages to customers straight from FileMaker.
Use the Template ID to target a specific design. You’ll find the Template ID in the Placeholder Inspector: simply select a placeholder in your design and copy the Template ID from the bottom of the sidebar.
The API integration is also compatible with from FileMaker 12 onwards, as well as with the FileMaker Go iOS app. When using attachments, at least FileMaker 18 is required.
You sure can! Our live demo gives you a sneak peek of the FileMaker integration in action. The API will be rolling out publicly in April 2025. Register here for first access!
Create a FileMaker string with all your existing database variables so they correspond with the placeholders in your Mail Designer 365 template. Then, relay these to the FileMaker send script (cURL-based) to enable one-click emails directly from your records. It's that easy!
Regularly sending booking confirmations, quotes, invoices, welcome emails? Use the API to seamlessly integrate Mail Designer 365 with your FileMaker database and send flawlessly designed transactional email templates to customers, clients, and staff – directly from FileMaker.
Each Mail Designer plan includes a monthly allowance of “stamps.” One stamp is used per email sent to an individual recipient—for example, sending to an audience of 10,000 requires 10,000 stamps.
When using the Mail Designer API, each delivery counts as 25 stamps.
With Mail Designer 365, that’s a thing of the past. Design updates can be made anytime directly by your marketing or design team—no developers, no coding. Your API or FileMaker solution simply references the Mail Designer template ID. Just open Mail Designer 365, make your changes (logos, texts, seasonal elements), save—and you’re done. That’s modern, efficient collaboration.
Absolutely. The API integration (from your web scripts or a FileMaker solution) only links to the Mail Designer template ID, so you can change the design anytime—logos, texts, seasonal styles—without touching a single script. Just edit in Mail Designer 365 and save. Done.
