Smart Notification Scheduling with Delivery Windows
Sending a notification is simple—sending it at the right time is not. Whether it’s avoiding off-hours pings or managing users across time zones, timing matters. With Courier’s new Delivery Window, you can deliver messages at the perfect moment—without the overhead of custom scheduling code.
Set the Rules, We’ll Handle the Rest
The Delivery Window feature lets you define when notifications should go out, and Courier ensures they follow your rules. Instead of instant delivery, send the notification when it’s best for your user to get it and act on it.
For example, if a non-urgent alert is triggered on Sunday at 3 PM, you can configure a delivery window for work hours: Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 4 PM. Courier will hold the message and deliver it Monday at 10 AM—seamlessly, no extra work required.
