Inbox message icons, JS client SDK, Datadog

Inbox message icons

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. customize-message-icon-2

CourierJS client SDK

The first client-side SDK for Courier is now available and it's in JavaScript. It simplifies the process of incorporating Courier into your projects. The ability to make direct calls to Courier within your JavaScript code eliminates the requirement for an additional back-end service between your front end and the Courier API.

We introduced three new API calls in this release: the identify call for tying a user to actions they perform, such as logging in or updating their profile, and the subscribe and unsubscribe calls for subscribing and unsubscribing to lists.

Datadog integration

As product notifications are crucial to the entire application experience, it's essential to link this data back to central cloud observability platforms that provide a comprehensive view of the entire stack.

We're excited to announce our first observability integration with Datadog, which collects metrics and other data from applications and provides accurate monitoring tools and dashboards. Datadog dashboard delivery metrics

This integration is currently available only on Courier's Business plan, along with other production-focused features. Use our dashboard starter kit to set up a simple dashboard in Datadog for your Courier data.
