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. Now, in part two, we’re going to listen for our event and trigger a notification using Courier.
At Asana, we’re committed to supporting our employees as they grow personally and professionally. We believe the best way to support career growth is to provide a framework, benefits, and culture that allows growth to happen. Then, the path to actually getting there is up to them. Growth isn’t linear—but that doesn’t mean it isn’t important. According to the Anatomy of Work Index 2021, global employees want work that is personally and professionally fulfilling.
Today, we’re excited to announce the release of Environments in Courier. You can now create, preview, and troubleshoot your notifications in a test environment before going live. With support for two environments – Test and Production – you no longer have to worry about accidentally sending a notification to your users before you’re ready.

Mattermost has always been a remote-first company. Building a product that safely and securely allows our teams to communicate with each other regardless of geography or distance is the cornerstone of our philosophy on working remotely. Over the last year, the world of working online from home changed dramatically. Many people have been forced to move into a working situation they might not have been familiar with.
This blog series aims to break down the main principles of the new comprehensive study of the Support industry that is now available for download. The 2021 Customer Support Transformation report examines current trends in Support delivery and offers tangible guidance for Support and Service professionals to meet growing expectations of both customers and company executives. Part 1 explores the transition of support from a reactive transactional model to a more proactive and preventive approach.
We have been running our own design and development agency for over 10 years, successfully collaborating while fully remote since long before the COVID-19 crisis—in fact, most of our international team has never met in person. Several years ago, we shifted from email to using an online chat tool. We were looking for ways to improve team communication and boost morale.
Anyone who has seen the futuristic, leaving-Planet-Earth flick Passengers would agree the movie offers the opportunity for an energetic debate on Artificial Intelligence—just where exactly should one draw the line? In the movie, a robot bartender, Arthur (portrayed by Michael Sheen), gracefully fulfills his duty of fixing drinks aboard the Avalon. But he grievously falls short of the bar at a key human trait–discretion.
