Available settings
The Postmark settings are defined at the template level from the Notifuse interface when you create/update a template.
If you don't plan to create your templates via API, or overwrite some settings at the last minute when you send a message (via API), you can skip the following table.
However it can be useful to overwrite some settings when you send a message from the API, like the email parameter to route an email to the secondary email address of the recipient (imagine he forgot his password and cannot reach his primary mailbox).
