Novu is an open-source communication infrastructure that provides unified APIs for notifications and AI agent conversations across many channels. It includes SDKs, a workflow engine, and a CLI to integrate email, SMS, push, chat, and more.
Use cases
- send real-time in-app notifications to users
- deliver transactional emails and SMS from a single API
- integrate AI chat agents with Slack, Teams, or WhatsApp
- build multi-channel notification workflows with conditional logic
- embed a notification inbox component in a React or Next.js app
When to choose
- You need a single platform to manage both user notifications and AI agent conversations.
- Your product requires multi-channel messaging (email, SMS, push, chat) with a unified API.
- You want to avoid building channel-specific integrations from scratch.
When to avoid
- You only need a simple one-off email sender and don't need a full workflow engine.
- Your stack is not JavaScript/TypeScript based and you cannot use the provided SDKs.
- You require on-premise deployment without any cloud components and Novu's self‑hosted options are insufficient.
