Tattler - An open-source enterprise notification system for email, SMS and more

Focus on your brand and customer journey

Tattler takes away the complexity of sending notifications:

Organize notifications

All notifications in one place, regardless of their triggering system.
Define vectors to notify (email? SMS? more?) for each event.
Allow triggering systems to share or separate their branding.

Templates to wire

Expand your templates with support for conditionals, loops, pluralization and more.
Assemble the final byte content for the vector, e.g. multi-part MIME emails with HTML content and plain text fallback.
Deliver the final byte content through SMTP and a SMS delivery network.

Automatic data retrieval

Automatically load the user's contacts required by each notification, so your code can think "events and user IDs".
Load context variables to expand into your template, so your triggering application doesn't have to.
Easily integrate with your sources with plug-ins, and our ready-made examples for SQL and CSV.
