About
What it does
Dittofeed is a customer engagement platform for sending the right message to the right user at the right time. Connect your user data, define segments, and design journeys that react to what people do in your product, from onboarding sequences to win-back campaigns.
Messages go out across email, SMS, mobile push, WhatsApp, Slack and more, through providers like SendGrid or Amazon SES. Templates can be written in HTML and MJML or built in a low-code editor, and a dashboard shows how each message performs.
Highlights
- Visual journey builder for automated, event-based messaging
- One-off broadcasts
- Flexible user segmentation
- Email, SMS, push, WhatsApp and Slack channels
- Template editor with MJML and low-code options
- Connect data via Segment, reverse ETL or API

Developer-centric
Beyond having industry-standard GUI tools, we focus on developer happiness with first-in-class dev-focused features:
- Branch-based git workflows that support messaging campaign version control.
- Write email templates in your favorite editor, checked into git - not in an unversioned web based IDE.
- Testing SDK to test your messaging campaigns in CI. No more manually QAing them in production.
- Self-hostable. Protect your sensitive PII inside of your own VPC. Avoid volume-based pricing.
- Journey monitoring and alerting.
