Novu
Open-source notification infrastructure with one API for sending messages across in-app inbox, email, SMS, push and chat channels, self-hostable or available as a cloud service.
Novu is notification infrastructure that an application calls through one API to send messages across in-app inbox, email, SMS, push and chat channels. It has a web dashboard and an embeddable React inbox component. It runs as a self-hosted stack from Docker Compose or as Novu Cloud, and the self-hosted stack stores its data in MongoDB with Redis for queues. The documentation covers both.
Worth knowing
The repository is open core: the core is under the MIT license, and the enterprise folder is under a commercial license. The cloud comparison table lists single sign-on, role-based access control, multi-factor authentication and workflow translations for Novu Cloud and not for the community self-hosted edition.
