Building a No-Code Secret Santa App using Courier, Typeform, and Integromat
Aydrian HowardDecember 16, 2020
For the Courier Live on December 2nd, I teamed up with Nicolas Grenié, Developer Advocate at Typeform, to have some more #NoCode fun. This time, we learned how to use Courier and Typeform with Integromat, a no-code automation platform.
We decided to put a twist on the classic Secret Santa gift exchange. People could enter the Secret Santa using a Typeform survey and receive a notification from Courier prompting them to record a short holiday greeting with VideoAsk. Then, on the Monday before Christmas, we'd match all the entries and send them out to people.
Check out the videos below to watch us:
- Create a Typeform survey to collect people’s contact information.
- Use Integromat to collect the Typeform data and create a profile in Courier.
- Trigger a notification using Courier with a link to a VideoAsk.
- Use Integromat to schedule matching and send the videos using Courier.
Be sure to Like the video and Subscribe to our YouTube channel.
Is there something you’d like to see us do using Courier? Let us know and it might be the subject of our next Courier Live. Follow us on Twitch to be notified when we go live.

Clinical alert and notification systems: how escalation works
A clinical alert is easy to send and hard to close. This is how alerting works inside a hospital: where alerts come from, how routing by role and shift works, and how the acknowledge, timeout, escalate loop is actually built, including what happens when nobody answers.
How to send Slack notifications from your app
Slack is where your customers already work, which makes it a product surface rather than only an internal alerting channel. Posting an approval request or a status change into a customer's own Slack means working in workspaces you don't own, addressing people by email rather than Slack ID, and holding a separate credential for every customer.
How Product Teams Build, Test and Ship Multichannel Notifications in Design Studio
Product teams need to build, test, and ship notifications across multiple channels without filing an engineering ticket every time. Courier's Design Studio is the workspace for that: a template builder, visual channel routing, omnichannel testing, and publishing in one place. This post walks through the traditional template designer paradigm, how it splits effort across too many tools, and outlines a path for product and growth teams to ship transactional, product, and marketing notifications from a single workspace.
