How do I send a Courier notification?

Short answer: You can send notification in Courier by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Courier Send Notification action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

Inputs

The fields this action accepts.

Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.

FAQ

Questions about Send Notification.

What does the Send Notification action do in Courier?
Fires a Courier notification for a recipient with optional data payload. Courier handles channel selection (email, SMS, push, in-app) per the template config and the recipient's preferences. The single-call abstraction over the multi-channel notification stack.
What inputs does Send Notification require?
Required: Event/Template ID, Recipient Email. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Courier returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Send Notification support batch operations?
Yes. Run Send Notification inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Courier's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
