In plain words
Posthook is a job scheduling service that allows developers to schedule reminders, follow-ups, notifications, and expirations through a single API call. Users install an SDK and specify a webhook path, delivery time, and custom data payload. The service handles delivery tracking, automatic retries, and failure alerting without requiring manual cron job maintenance. It supports common patterns like reminder sequences, drip campaigns, and expiration tracking, and can be used for status polling, delayed checks, and scheduled publishing.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years.
