On February 2nd and 3rd, Shy Ruparel joined me for another Courier and Contentful crossover stream. This time, we decided to play around with an IoT E-ink display and use it to show the latest posts from Contentful and send notifications using Courier. During Tuesday's Contentful Live we started working with the newly released Adafruit MagTag. The MagTag is a 2.9" grayscale E-Ink display that can show data on its screen even when power is removed.

If your application sends emails to confirm new accounts, reset user passwords, or handle billing and invoicing, then it’s sending transactional emails. This kind of functionality is extremely common, so naturally there are a lot of vendors that provide these services. But which transactional email API is right for your application?

Thanks to big data and the acceleration caused by the pandemic, communication in healthcare now demands extra attention. In order to stay relevant and improve the quality of patient care, more and more companies are following HIPAA guidelines. Ensuring that practitioners and patients are having their data protected is the first step to a brighter (and safer) future.

If you’ve handled a group project or managed a team, you already know how important it is to communicate with your team members. If you want to streamline communication and collaboration at your workplace, you must onboard your teams on the best work collaboration apps But, what are those apps that can help you break silos and improve productivity at the same time? Known as a feature rich office chat app, Troop Messenger is an easy-to-use tool with seamless UI and UX.

In this series, I explain how to use Twitch EventSub and Courier to automatically send notifications to multiple destinations – Slack, Discord, and more – when your Twitch stream goes live. In part one, we built a Node.js app using Express.js to accept events from Twitch EventSub. In part two, we listened for our event and triggered a notification using Courier. Now, in part three, we're going to use Courier’s List API to send multiple notifications when our event is triggered.

A push notification. A bolded channel. A red badge next to an unread conversation. These are all ways that Slack manages your attention. For the messaging giant, managing attention is deeply intertwined with their mission of making work life more productive. Too much noise and suddenly what was an invaluable collaboration hub turns into a distraction. Not enough and it’s just another tool gathering virtual dust.

Our Makefile entry point for developing against the Mattermost Server already tries to simplify things for developers as much as possible. For example, when invoking make run-server, this build tooling takes care of all of the following (among other things!).
