Courier Create makes it easy to put your customers in control of their notifications—right inside your app. Since launch, we’ve seen huge demand from teams who want to offer a fully branded, self-serve experience without needing to build custom tools or workflows.
But we’re just getting started.
Here’s a look at what’s coming next for Courier Create—and how we’re expanding the power of the editor to make message creation even more flexible, scalable, and user-friendly.
Email was the clear priority when we launched Courier Create. During our beta, it became obvious that this was the channel most teams needed first—and fast.
But notifications don’t stop at email.
In the next two weeks, we’re rolling out support for push, SMS, and in-app notifications. This means your customers will soon be able to design and manage their own messages across all major channels—using the same intuitive editor embedded inside your app.
Notifications often need to speak more than one language.
That’s why we’re working on simple, built-in internationalization. Soon, your customers will be able to manage translations directly inside the editor—without needing engineering help or complicated workarounds.
They’ll be able to add translated versions of any string for any locale, making it easy to ensure their messages reach global audiences in the right language.
Our goal is to make multi-lingual notifications seamless for everyone—from product teams to end users.
Sometimes, your customers don’t need full editing access. They just want to see what a message looks like before it goes out.
Soon, Courier Create will offer a Preview-Only mode, allowing you to display read-only versions of notifications directly inside your app.
This is perfect for approval workflows or any scenario where you want to show—but not allow changes to—the final message.
Seeing a preview is useful, but there’s no substitute for seeing the real thing on your own device.
That’s why we’re adding support for test sends. Soon, your customers will be able to easily send test versions of their emails and SMS messages to themselves before going live.
We’re building this as a fully integrated feature so you can make it part of your app’s native experience—no hacks or workarounds required.
Our editor is intentionally simple and streamlined, but we know some customers need more flexibility for complex email layouts.
That’s why we’re planning to introduce new block types, including:
This will give advanced users more creative freedom while still keeping the core experience easy and approachable.
Courier Create is just getting started—and your feedback will help guide where we take it next.

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.

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.
