#2This is neat but I wonder if companies would just build this themselves instead?

#3Interesting that you can use this for two-man rule...especially since this api is real-time. I'm having trouble thinking of scenario where I would use this feature at my company, but cool nonetheless

We built some of this functionality internally 6mos ago. Wish I had seen this then...

#5Wow, $1 for 100 emails is very very very very expensive. So expensive that I'd opt to build this in house rather and take on the costs associated with it and still come out saving money.
It's a pretty solid idea otherwise.

On the site it's called multi-person approvals, but this is the other name for it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-man_rule

Curious how you calculated that -- mind sharing back of the napkin?

Felt the same, though it really depends very much on your use case. If you end up in the thousands of daily approvals, then yes, that would be immensly expensive for the service it provides
