Novu

The open-source notification infrastructure for developers

Building a notification system shouldn't be hard. With Novu, our goal is to simplify notifications and provide developers with the tools to create meaningful communication between the system and its users. Add a real-time notification center to your app deployed on Vercel, or send multi-channel notifications with a single API call.

Features

• Single API for all messaging channels (Inbox, Email, SMS, Push, Chat)
• Code First Notification Platform
• No-Code controls to modify content and behaviour
• Integrated with React Email/MJML
• GitOps Flow, deployed from your CI
