Twilio's quest for a unified notification experience.

The challenge

Twilio, a leading customer engagement platform, relies heavily on its in-console experience to build trust and encourage engagement with the ten million developers and more than 300K customers who have accounts with Twilio. Prior to Courier, different teams at Twilio were using various tools to reach customers, leading to a sometimes inconsistent and confusing user experience. Twilio’s Developer Experience Team sought out a unified notification tool that would deliver updates to customers in-console that would improve their experience with Twilio.

The solution

Twilio aimed to centralize its notifications and enhance user experience. After exploring several options, they chose Courier for its robust features, easy implementation, and compatibility with their existing systems. They started with Courier’s web inbox to deliver timely notifications that help users quickly understand next steps in their Twilio onboarding journey and discover relevant features to optimize their developer experience. The targeted and actionable notifications are easy-to-find and pop up at just the right time when customers are using the platform, providing in-product guidance

and actionable information about their accounts.

As a customer engagement platform, we at Twilio know how important it is to meet your customers at their preferred channels. Courier gives us the power to fully personalize our customer touchpoints in one easy-to-use, centralized tool.
