Announcing Environments: Safely Test Your Notifications Before Going Live
Today, we’re excited to announce the release of Environments in Courier. You can now create, preview, and troubleshoot your notifications in a test environment before going live.
With support for two environments – Test and Production – you no longer have to worry about accidentally sending a notification to your users before you’re ready. Having an isolated test environment means you can safely debug your notifications, invite your team to make changes, and ensure your notifications work exactly as you intend before shipping to production.
Let’s take a look at what’s possible with Environments in Courier.
Map your development environments to your workflow in Courier
Both your test and production environments have two API keys: Draft and Published. Across the four API keys, you can easily and seamlessly map your development environments to your workflow in Courier. For example, you might use the Published key in the Test environment for testing and the Draft key in the Production environment for staging.
Easily copy templates and assets between environments
We designed Environments to make it simple and fast to migrate your notification templates and their associated assets – Brands, categories, and more – between test and production. Once you’re happy with your test notification, you can copy it to your production environment in just a few clicks.
Support test and production API keys for your integrations
By default, all of your integrations work in both the test and production environments. But, if you’d prefer an extra layer of security, you can add a test API key for your integration that will only send notifications from Courier’s test environment.
Get started with Environments today
Environments is available to customers on all plans, including our free tier. You can learn more about Environments and how to get started in our Help Center.

Controlling notification send limits in Courier
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. Send limits can be applied in a variety of ways, including system-wide notification limits, as well as specific limits for individual users or notification topics. For instance, you can set an overall limit of 200,000 notifications per week. This article will explore the various types of notification rate limits available, explain when send limits are useful, and provide guidance on how to set them up.
