Most likely you did not answer the questions that are most important to them. - How will you make sure that only subscribed recipients will get your emails - How will you handle bo…

All, Founder of Plunk here. Yes, Plunk is designed to work with AWS SES. I was not the one that made it hard for folks to self-host their own email infrastructure. SES is simply th…

You can! https://docs.useplunk.com/working-with-contacts/metadata

I use the built-in capabilities of AWS and Vercel. https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/projects/domains

Love that one! That would definitely be the carving of my space in the market. There are so many email tools out there, really setting myself apart in the market was a difficult on…

That's actually good feedback. I've been chatting with people who switched providers and am building out comparison pages at the moment! Thank you so much for the interaction and f…

That's a great question. The 3 email categories IMO are the following. - Transactional: one-time emails, sent through an API on-demand (e.g. password resets, magic links...) - Auto…

Around 10 months ago, I published a tool I made ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32229278 ). I was scouring the market for an affordable and easy-to-use email automation tool…

Thank you very much for the kind words!

Thank you very much for this, I wasn't aware of that!

It was built for in-product actions but you can use it for whatever suits your needs. It may need some extra code on your side to make that work though. I am currently using it to …

I believe email clients send back a rejection if it landed in spam. It is one of the metrics AWS SES can track for you. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/monitor-sending-ac…

The fact that you don't need to set up and manage your own SMTP server is a big advantage I believe.

Validating was really easy. I am really active on Twitter and saw loads of people complain about terrible APIs offered by some tools and the ridiculous pricing of others. + I also …

Splunk is in a very different part of the landscape than Plunk so legally there isn't that much of an issue. Verbally it may be more confusing but it'll be fine!

A very big part of what Plunk does is giving you the opportunity to link multiple events together and delay emails. You can extend it to users that have clicked button A and B but …

That would be very valuable to my development! You can always reach out to me at dries@useplunk.com

Sorry about the confusing wording, with bounce I mean both hard bounces, rejects and complaints (they are all monitored appropriately). They are all taken into account when calcula…

Thank you very much for this incredible feedback, very kind of you! I have already made some minor changes (fixed the typo and moved dedicated support). Tomorrow I will be looking …

I get what you mean by this! Let me clarify what my way of thought is behind the "completely free, no strings attached". I do not ask for your credit card info, I don't put you on …

At scale this should work fine. Some parts of the dashboard are not yet prepared for that amount of data to flow in though, may be hard to navigate and monitor. I am also looking a…

I have built-in an automatic catch, if x% (still looking at what a good value for x is) of your emails bounce then your account gets quarantined and we see what we can do about tha…

No worries! Thank you for the kind words.

It is very hard to make statements about this. It very much depends on the reputation of your own domain (if you are not using our domain to send your emails) and the content of yo…

Valuable feedback, thank you for this! How would you feel about a demo video where I show you how to set it up and go through the features at the same time?
