Design Postmark Transactional Emails in Figma with Marka
A password reset or receipt is part of the product experience. Figma lets you design those messages alongside your product screens, using the same typography, logo and visual hierarchy. Marka Email Generator brings the finished email designs into Postmark.
Start with a Figma email template and open Marka to prepare a small family of transactional emails.
Map the messages your customer receives
Put related frames next to each other so you can review the journey:
| Message | Main thing the reader needs |
|---|---|
| Welcome | A clear first step |
| Email confirmation | The verification action and its context |
| Password reset | A prominent reset action and a support route |
| Receipt | The purchase details and a useful reference |
| Account notification | What changed and what to do next |
The Supabase auth templates can provide visual starting points for authentication layouts. Replace platform-specific content and fields when adapting a design for Postmark.
Build shared brand elements
Use one header, a consistent body text style and a recognizable action button across the set. Keep the footer readable and focused on useful support information.
For a password reset, put the action near the explanation. For a receipt, organize the detail section so the total and reference are easy to find. These messages need different content structures even when they share the same components.
Keep important information as text so it remains useful when remote images are unavailable.
Design for content variation
Review a long customer name, a long product title and an email without optional information. For receipts, compare a small order with a larger one.
Agree the dynamic fields and fallback copy with the person managing Postmark. Keep those requirements beside the Figma frames so the exported design and the sending setup can be reviewed together.
Preview and export to Postmark
Review the selected frame in Marka and correct visual issues in Figma. Then use Export as Postmark and configure the server connection following the Postmark export guide. The exported template appears in the connected server's Templates section.
If this is your first export, follow the Figma email walkthrough for the design preparation and asset handoff.
Review the message before using it in your product
In Postmark, verify the template content, dynamic values and plain-text version with the person responsible for sending. Use realistic test data rather than reviewing only the default sample.
Send a test and inspect the received email on desktop and phone. Check that the primary action opens the intended destination and that critical details are readable in both light and dark appearances.
Maintain the email family in Figma
Keep the approved frames together and record their corresponding Postmark templates. When the brand changes, revise the shared Figma elements, export the affected messages and review each updated template before use.
