In-app notification center preview generator

An in-app feed is the list behind the bell icon in your product. Unlike an email or a push, it sits inside the app and waits: people open it when they are already there, and with Courier Inbox each notification stays in the list until it is archived or expires.

That changes how you write for it. A feed item has a title and one line of body text, and the title has to carry the meaning on its own.

Open with the thing that happened, not the thing that sent it: Export finished beats Notification from Reports. Keep the body to one sentence with the detail someone would act on, like a row count or a name.

Mark a few items unread to see how that state reads next to a seen one, and give the ones that need a decision an action, like Approve or Reply, so the user can act without opening anything. If your titles are indistinguishable at that size, they will be in the real feed too.

Courier Inbox is a hosted version of this feed. You embed the prebuilt inbox component with a web SDK (React, Vue, Angular, or Web Components) or a mobile SDK (iOS, Android, React Native, or Flutter), and Courier stores each user's messages and delivers them in real time. Unread counts, Unread and Archived views, and pagination work without extra code.

Sending to it is the same call you use for any other channel: include inbox in the message's routing channels. The prebuilt inbox themes to your brand, including light and dark, and you can replace the header or list items with your own components when you need to.
