How to connect Postscript to Datadrew

Last updated on Jul 07, 2026

What data does Datadrew pull from Postscript?

Connecting Postscript to Datadrew gives you access to your SMS marketing data, including subscribers, campaigns, automations, keywords, message performance, and revenue attribution. This helps you track SMS-driven revenue, compare channel ROI, and optimize your messaging strategy.

⚠️ Plan requirement: Postscript API access requires the Professional plan or higher. Growth and Starter plans do not include API access. See Postscript's pricing page for current plan details.

Prerequisites

  • A Postscript account on the Professional plan or higher
  • Account Owner or Admin access in Postscript
  • An active Datadrew account (any plan)

Step-by-step: Generate your Postscript API key

  1. Log in to your Postscript dashboard.
  2. Click your Account name in the top-right corner.
  3. Select API from the dropdown menu.
  4. Click Create Security Key Pair.
  5. Give the key pair a descriptive name (e.g., "Datadrew Integration").
  6. Copy the Private Key (starts with sk_). This is the key you will use.

Warning: Use the Private Key (starts with sk_), NOT the Public Key (starts with pk-). The Public Key does not have the permissions needed for data syncing.

What to enter in Datadrew

  1. In Datadrew, go to Settings → Integrations.
  2. Find Postscript and click Connect.
  3. Paste your Private Key into the API Key field.
  4. Click Save to complete the connection.

Official documentation

For more details on Postscript API authentication, see the Postscript API Authentication documentation.

Troubleshooting

  • "Unauthorized" or "Forbidden" error: Verify that your Postscript plan includes API access (Professional plan or higher). Lower-tier plans do not support API keys. Check Postscript's pricing page for details.
  • Used the wrong key: Make sure you are using the Private Key (sk_), not the Public Key (pk-). The Public Key will not authenticate successfully for data access.
  • "API" option not in menu: This option is only visible to Account Owners and Admins on the Professional plan. Contact your Postscript account admin or upgrade your plan.
  • Key pair not generating: Try refreshing the page or using a different browser. If the issue persists, contact Postscript support.
