Broadcasts: send one-time messages to your users, right from Courier

Broadcasts lets you send a one-time message to a group of your users, now or on a schedule, without leaving Courier.

Build and launch a hosted preference center that looks great on web and mobile

Courier's redesigned Preferences Editor and hosted preference center let you build, preview, and launch a branded notification preference center with no frontend code, plus new bulk APIs to migrate preferences.

Experiments: A/B test your messages inside Journeys

Experiments bring A/B testing into Journeys. On any send node, run 2 to 10 message variants, split traffic by weight, and Courier buckets each recipient deterministically, keeping them in the same variant across sends. Compare sent, delivered, open, and click rates per variant, then promote the one you want, without leaving your journey or bolting on a separate testing tool.

AI Translation: localize any template in seconds

Courier AI Translation brings built-in localization to Design Studio. Add a language to any template and AI translates every string in seconds. Works across email, SMS, push, in-app, and chat. Review side by side, override anything, and publish from the same editor you already use.

Inbox SDKs for Vue and Angular: a native in-app notification center

Courier now ships first-class inbox SDKs for Angular and Vue. Drop in a real-time notification center, toasts, and a preferences center with native components, an injectable service, and a composable, all backed by the same in-app inbox that already powers React and JavaScript apps.

What we shipped this month: May 2026 Edition

Courier shipped five launches in May 2026: AI Agent in Journeys (GA), the new Journeys API for code-driven flows, Custom Environments, Design Studio styling controls, and Courier Console v3. Each one closes a gap between writing software and shipping the messages that go with it.

Courier journeys, as code

Most journeys don't die because they were hard to build — they die because they're hard to change. A day-5 nudge written before a new activation event existed still fires for users who hit the milestone on day two. Courier journeys are now programmable: a public Journeys API with SDKs, a CLI, and an agent skill on top. Describe a flow to your coding agent, get an ASCII diagram, ship it. Full post covers the access points, an example end-to-end, and the one gotcha worth knowing (`output_schema` is mandatory on AI nodes).

Introducing the AI Node in Courier Journeys

The AI node is a new step inside Courier Journeys that classifies users, branches on the result, and writes per-channel copy from a single prompt. Here's what it does, how to set one up, and when it's worth using over a regular condition node.

Using Claude Design, Claude Code, and Courier AI to Create a Multichannel Onboarding Series in 30 Minutes

A walkthrough of building a four-part multichannel onboarding series (email, in-app inbox, mobile push, and Slack) in 30 minutes using Claude Code and Cowork to orchestrate, Claude Design to mock each channel, the courier-template-builder skill to translate mocks into Elemental JSON, the Courier MCP to publish templates, and the Courier CLI to test sends. Covers the strategy behind the sequence and recommendations for anyone doing the same.
