Hi HN,
Would love some feedback on our service. Triggering emails from your code sounds like a solved problem. We think not. Instead of writing your email logic in your code, we ask you to send events to us, as you'd do with Mixpanel/GA. You can then configure emails as triggers from our dashboard.<p>Benefits:<p>* Flexibility in adding/modifying your emails without code changes<p>* Test out different schedule intervals, email messages<p>* Add drip campaigns based on customer events - an "ordered" event is enough to send a transaction email, a feedback email and perhaps even a reminder email for a repeat purchase.<p>* We are adding support for push notifications/sms next, so especially useful if you are already sending different kinds of messages.<p>What do you think about the service? Would you use it?<p>(website: www.nudgespot.com/developers, in case you are curious)<p>(I tried posting this yesterday, but didn't see any responses, sorry for the repost.)
It'd be difficult for me to justify a service like this over Mandrill. I saw where you compare them, but I don't find myself writing much "mailer code" (assuming this means what I think it means?) and I certainly don't have to make code changes just to change a template.<p>They also allow scheduled sending, though changing this would require a code change (minor, but honestly, this seems like the kind of thing I'd like to have in version control).<p>As far as email, it sounds like you're mostly providing what Mandrill is, but with a bit more abstraction. I'm really interested in seeing what you do with push/SMS though, because having all of that integrated into one platform sounds like a real value add.<p>I'd enjoy discussing this in depth with you if you'd like, email's in my profile.
Howdy!<p>Colin from Customer.io here. Sounds like you've got your own take on using events to send emails. Building this type of system gets harder the more you scale, but it's a lot of fun. Feel free to email me if you ever want to chat. You can probably guess my email.<p>Cheers,
Colin
I don't think repost is a problem (if you don't do it constantly and too much).<p>I would try another Show HN, but with the direct URL tomorrow - it worked for me, i did a no upvoted Show HN, them a no upvoted Ask HN, them a successfull 43 points Show HN. There is a lot of luck in it, try once more.
