A love letter to the Machine Gods
Blog post from Courier
Courier is a comprehensive notification infrastructure and customer messaging platform designed to streamline communication across multiple channels, including email, SMS, WhatsApp, push, in-app, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. It aims to simplify the messaging process for software teams by providing a single API that manages templates, user preferences, lifecycle journeys, in-app inboxes, retries, provider failover, and delivery logs. By eliminating the need for teams to build and maintain complex notification systems themselves, Courier allows for reliable multi-channel delivery and lifecycle messaging without the hassle of integrating multiple providers and workflows. The platform positions itself as an essential tool for product and engineering teams, especially those working with AI agents, by offering a developer-friendly solution that fits seamlessly into software environments. Courier emphasizes its role as a dependable, albeit unglamorous, layer that ensures messages reach their intended recipients, thus supporting both human users and AI-driven systems in managing effective communication.
