Resetting passwords is a critical way to make your app accessible to users, but setting up email notifications for password resets from scratch can be tedious and error-prone. While Laravel does support password reset email templates, Laravel emails can be unreliable and prone to being caught in spam filters, and the default email templates are not particularly customizable. It might also be desirable to set up a backup channel like SMS or a backup email provider in case the primary fails.

Setting up a password reset workflow inside your web application can be challenging. At a minimum, you need to build the logic to update the user’s password with a new hash, send the appropriate emails with the right content, and manage different user sessions across browsers. If you’re responsible for managing password reset emails, it’s likely that you also have to manage all aspects of authentication and password management for your application.

Transactional emails are automated emails triggered by a user (or group of users) taking action on your web or mobile application. Some examples include password reset emails, confirmation emails for purchases or reservations, welcome and onboarding emails, and shipping notifications.

When you’re building a web application, there’s an immediate decision to make about how to handle Users and Authentication. There are lots of services (Auth0, Clerk) and libraries (Passport.js) to choose from, and the right choice will depend on the requirements of the application that you’re building.

Send limits are a new addition to the Courier app that allow you to manage notification rate limits. This means you can set a maximum limit on the number of notifications you can send over a certain time period. The advantages of using send limits are twofold: you can save money by imposing spending caps on notifications, and you can improve the customer experience of your app by avoiding bombarding users with too many notifications at once.

Courier business plan customers can configure these limits globally, or per user, or per user per subscription topic. Exclusions for certain subscription topics can also be set up, ensuring essential messages are always delivered.

We added the ability to customize the message icon for inbox messages. That means you can set a different icon for each type of notification that you send. To do this, Message Icons needs to be enabled in your brand’s in-app settings (they should be by default). Then you can add an icon to your notification template.

All apps need a solid, automated notifications system. Whether it’s reminders, updates, or alerts, some notifications can be urgent and time-sensitive, in which case SMS is the most effective communication channel. Let’s take a moment to talk about what that means for you as a developer. You need to: Realistically, building this feature from scratch can be time-consuming and complicated.

  • Notification Design Studio: Empower every team member to build beautiful notifications.
  • Cross-Channel Engagement Tracking: Get insight on your performance across all channels.
  • Powerful Delivery Rules: Effortlessly route each message to the right notification channel using a robust rules engine. Change channels without touching your code.

The Smartest Way to Design & Deliver Notifications.
