Laudspeaker – open-source customer journey automation▲148
Hey HN, excited to share our open source tool with the community. We wanted to build an open source omnichannel tool where you can design customer journeys with a drag and drop editor. You can use our tool for example to design an onboarding flow so that users who sign up to your site can receive a series of predetermined emails and sms. Give it a spin and let us know how we can improve it. We also made it so you can self host.
