What is Knock?

Knock is a product and customer messaging infrastructure. You can use Knock to power all of your product's messaging needs, including transactional messaging, lifecycle marketing, one-time announcements, and in-product messaging, without the effort of building and maintaining your own in-house messaging system.

Knock is designed with both developers and product teams in mind. It's easy for developers to implement, and simple for less-technical users to maintain in our dashboard.

Knock is a very easy-to-use API that makes adding all sorts of user notifications to your application a breeze. The GUI for adding notification flows is nicely designed and the documentation is well written. Looking forward to continue on working with this technology!

I've been using Knock while it was in beta for a few months now, and was actually very impressed! Implementing notifications from scratch can be very difficult, and I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth Knock workflow is. It has pretty much every feature an engineer might need, including: templating, cancelling notifications, in-app notification feed, scheduling future notifications, out-of-the-box integrations and much more. Knock is also extremely reliable, I don't think we ever had even one issue with Knock itself. A suggestion for a couple features that I would find extremely useful: 1. Have a declarative way to define Knock workflows (eg with a terraform provider). 2. Provide a way to run automated tests against Knock (without setting up a test mailbox).

Been using Knock for the past few months in their closed beta for SwayDM. It's been so easy to make changes to some of our more complex notification workflows. It really is a developer first platform. The team is also super responsive to bug fixes, and feature enhancements.
