Courier Overview

What is Courier?

Courier is a platform that makes it fast and easy to build a notifications system. Product and engineering teams need template management, custom routing, detailed logs, automated workflows, and other internal tools to run critical operations. Rather than build from scratch, developers can use Courier to build a powerful notifications infrastructure, faster. Our notifications designer includes drag-and-drop building blocks so you can assemble a notification in minutes. From there, you can write custom code, connect to data sources, or add additional channels such as email, chat, in-app, SMS, and push to create dynamic notifications your users will love. Thousands of companies like LaunchDarkly, Contentful, Lattice, Vanta, and ApartmentList use Courier to power their notifications that drive faster operations and better engagement.

What do you like best about Courier?

Courier provides a notification designer and simple API interface that allows quick access to multiple channels of notification delivery, simplifying the process of managing notification design and delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Courier?

Some notification channels have more options than Courier provides, so to maximize potential sometimes the best approach is still to build a custom solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Courier solving and how is that benefiting you?

Courier simplifies notification management, so that designs exist in one place while the code can abstract notification delivery into a simpler implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easily sending messages + notifications of all types to our users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nate Munger of Courier

The ability to let developers focus on building their product and not notifications is something we pride ourselves in, so thank you for calling that out, Jeremy!

And yes, it's true, you do get to bring your own provider. You can view the long and growing list of provider integrations we support here:https://www.courier.com/providers/

This flexibility means you can even use more than one provider, and route notifications based on the best provider for a specific user or region. You can also change providers in minutes without touching code or templates in our integration settings.

What do you like best about Courier?

I can't be effluent enough in my praise for this company.

- From the CEO all the way down, the team is a delight to work with.

- The technology is awesome, and the platform does exactly what I need it to do.

- It's SO simple to get up and runnning.

You'll wonder how you ever lived without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Courier?

Occasionally the editor can be a tad slow on complex notifications, but we're also using it in a way that was likely not anticipated in the original design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Courier solving and how is that benefiting you?

Applications always have a need to notify users of different events happing within a given system. Usually, those developers have to build those systems manually, which means having to learn the ins and outs of Email vs SMS vs Slack, and then often the notifications themselves are hard-wired into the codebase, making it VERY difficult to change them based on the needs of your GTM team.

Courier solves that problem by doing the heavy lift for you, letting you fire off notification events in your system, and handling the message designer and integration for you. Marketing and Sales teams can customize the messages as necessary, and users can pick which platforms they'd like to get notifications on.

Courier literally saved me > $30k in coding + implementation costs, and I was up and running in under a day. It's the new gold standard for developer APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nate Munger of Courier

Wow, incredible. We're truly flattered, Robert. We are striving every day to live up to this high praise, that I can promise you. Thank you for the feedback on the editor experience as well. You should see some significant transformations to improve the notification design experience in 2022!

What do you like best about Courier?

Courier makes it easy to reach coustomers whereever they are. The notification designer makes it easy for anyone on the team to update notification copy. The level of support from the Courier team is unmatched. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Courier?

We have some specific use cases such as allowing users to set notification preferences on a per-team basis. Courier was able to help us find a solution that we're currently using, but it's not fully supported without a workaround. Courier also has some API features that are not yet fully supported in their UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Courier solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've been able to quickly iterate on notification copy using Courier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Courier?

First, I love the stats. Being able to see what went to whom and when and who opened it and whether it was delivered or blocked or rendered, etc - ALL. CHANNELS. IN. ONE. PLACE. This is brilliant. It's so much more useful for me than logging into five different places to see what's going on. Second, I can ensure that mutiple delivery methods have the same feel. And, third their documentation is fantstic - it really helped us build our slack notification capabilities. Their support is fantastic - they're regularly in touch and proactive in helping us achieve what we're looking to achieve (for instance, microsoft teams integration is a big one on our list and very complicated - I had asked them in the past for any information they had on doing this, and they proactively reached out to share their updated documentation once they released it... that's great service :) . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Courier?

They don't yet offer Postmark email integration as an option (or they didn't when I last checked) or Amply integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Courier:

If you are looking for an application that can help you get all your communication with customers together, then you need to check out Courier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Courier solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm communicating with my customers easily, in a consistent manner, and am easily able to see what's delivered to whom without having to log into multiple applications. And I have great support doing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nate Munger of Courier

Hi Elena, we really appreciate your review! Providing one place for all your templates as well as a single API for developing with multiple providers is central to what we think makes Courier so powerful. I also wanted to point out that we do offer Postmark as an email provider integration now. You'll find them, along with the long list of other providers in the link below. If you ever need an integration you don't see in our list, email support@courier.com and let us know what you're looking for. Thank you!
