Courier - API, designer, and metrics for messaging & notifications

Hello Product Hunt! The rest of the Courier team and I have been building an exciting new way to design, send, and monitor all of your app's user notifications. As you may have heard in my video above, we understand that notifications are difficult to get right. So much so that most of us aren't excited about receiving many of them. Today, we are proud to launch our single API to manage all of your messaging APIs and a clever, easy to use design studio. Courier's UI unites product and engineering to have power over their notifications strategy. Wuphf was one of The Office's funniest bits many years ago, but was also a surprisingly relevant idea. We don't want to miss important notifications, so it triggers alerts to your cell phone, home phone, email, Facebook, Twitter, and fax. Being plugged into every provider is the correct next step, but where they got it jokingly wrong was sending it to every provider at the same time. Our platform ensures notifications are sent through the right channel at the right time, minimizing distracting and annoying notifications. I'm sure some of you caught this last week. HBOmax -Integration Test Email #1 World famous, this team would have had a much easier time testing in Courier's test environment, before pushing to production! We would love to hear what you think, and encourage you to check out all of our API endpoints and Design Studio. Those are where the dreams come true.

Big big fan of Courier! The first time I heard about it I had my “oh of course that’s how we should be handling notifications” moment. The product/API experience is extremely well crafted and followed up by insanely engaged and humane support. This team has been building quality features at a blistering clip, and has helped us eliminate thousands of lines of wonky code and templates, and our customers notifications are more professional than ever. So like I said, big fan :)

Huge fan of Courier, been using their product since day 1 at Canyon. Their team is shipping blazingly fast and very open to feedback. Courier is typically the platform that once discovered you can't live without. A bit like Stripe for payments, Postmark for mails, Courier now is part of my basic toolkit for any new serious dev project.

Congrats on the launch! It's been great building out our first notification flow to notify users when their videos are ready to review. We were up and running in about a half hour.

We’ve been using Courier to send all of our notifications. The notification designer makes it extremely easy for anyone on the team to update copy and the level of support from the whole team is unmatched.

Congratulations, this definitely seems to be something useful! As for you question, I think Amazon does a good job of reminding me of my deliveries. And Duolingo does a great job in the copy of their notifications. They're good a guilt tripping you to practice your new language!

We've been using Courier for almost a year now, great product, exactly what we needed, the team gets it!

I have been using Courier for almost a year now, and it has been a GAME CHANGER for our business. Building notifications for my apps has always been the biggest pain in the *ss. Having an integrated designer AND unified API to send my notification anywhere has allowed me to iterate faster, and change my notifications on the fly, without redeploying. I cannot stress enough how much it has fundamentally shifted the speed and confidence with which BurnRate.io ships our app. Congrats on the launch, @troygoode & Team!

This product is long overdue, as engineers are remaking this solution over and over again. @troygoode and his team at Courier have created the ultimate messaging layer, to work seamlessly with your solution. My team at Veryable will be implementing the solution later this year, and we cannot wait to get it live in production. Kudos on the launch guys!

You asked for apps that do a terrible job of notifications. I think Clubhouse is so incredibly overwhelming that people just turn it off, to the point where I'm missing great conversations in their app because I would rather not get any more notifications from them. When I did have them on, I was getting dozens per day, and very quickly stopped reading any of them. I think one app the does notifications really well is Headspace. Sometimes it not just a call to action, but a gentle or friendly reminder, something that doesn't require me going into the app to get value. Good luck with Courier!
