Saved first. Sent second.

Someone writes to you at 2am. Your email is having a rough night. On Monday, the message is still there.

The message lands first

Postbag saves a message before it speaks to your inbox, CRM, or anything else. A reply from Postbag means it has somewhere safe to wait.

Nothing gets quietly binned

Spam, a message from the wrong site, or a busy form all get a clear label and stay visible. Your inbox stays calm by default, but the record is yours to review.

Sending is patient

If an inbox or service is down, Postbag retries with longer pauses. When it comes back in time, the original message is ready to go. If the attempts run out, the send stays clearly marked and easy to retry once it is back.

Small promises with useful consequences

These are not settings you have to babysit. They are why you can hand a form to an agent, go make dinner, and trust the message will still be there.

  • A reused idempotency key does not create two messages.
  • Each destination keeps one sending record with its retry count and latest outcome.
  • A daily note is planned once, with any retries kept on the same record.
  • An old message keeps the meaning it had when it arrived.
  • Your messages stay separate from everyone else’s.

Leaving is your call

Messages leave when you delete them or when your plan’s storage time ends: 90 days on Free, a year on Pro, two years on Team, and as long as you choose when you self-host. Test messages do not use your monthly allowance.

Questions, answered

What happens when a message looks like spam?
It is kept and labelled, but it does not disturb your inbox by default. You can review it later.
What if my receiving service is down?
The message stays in Postbag while it makes its scheduled attempts. If they run out, the send is clearly marked and ready for you to retry once the service is back.
Can a receiving service see a message twice?
Postbag keeps one sending record for each place, including its retry count and latest outcome. A receiving service may see a repeat if it accepts a send but loses its reply.
Do I need extra queue software?
No. Postbag comes with the moving parts it needs. The self-host guide explains the small setup when you want to run it yourself.

Give the form job to your agent.

It can build, wire and test the form before you even sign up. Claim it when it's worth keeping.
