About
Novu is open-source notification infrastructure: one API to orchestrate email, SMS, push, in-app, and chat messages with templates, digest batching, and delivery tracking. You define workflows in code or the dashboard and trigger them with a single call, plugging in providers like SendGrid or Twilio. The free cloud tier covers 10,000 events a month, and you can self-host the whole thing.
