Help Users Navigate In-App Notifications Faster with Tabs in Courier Inbox

As your product grows, notifications pile up fast—and a single “everything” list turns into noise. Tabs for Courier Inbox let you organize in-app notifications into focused views (like Comments, Mentions, or Reactions) so users can find what they need faster, without you building custom filtering UI.

AI AGENTS FOR NOTIFICATIONS
GuideProduct NewsNotifications Landscape

Your Notifications Now Have Two Audiences: Humans and AI Agents

AI agents are now filtering, summarizing, and acting on notifications before users ever see them. In late 2024, Anthropic released the Model Context Protocol. By mid-2025, MCP had become the connective tissue for AI agents that take actions on behalf of users. Google followed with A2A. Agentic browsers like Perplexity Comet and Opera Neon started treating the web as something to navigate programmatically. Your notification strategy needs to account for machine interpretation, not just human attention.

How to Use WhatsApp Typing Indicators on Twilio (Public Beta Guide)

Twilio now supports typing indicators for WhatsApp. When your backend takes a few seconds to generate a response, you can show users that something's happening instead of leaving them staring at a silent chat. The indicator appears when you call the new /v2/Indicators/Typing endpoint, automatically marks the message as read, and disappears after your response arrives or 25 seconds pass. This guide covers the API details, implementation patterns for Node.js and Python, when to use typing indicators, and current beta limitations.
