Show HN: Trigger an email sequence with an API call (Seeking feedback)

Hello! I'm launching (aka "it's online") an early stage product that I'm building called ReplyBin. It's a functioning product, but pretty bare bones. I'm hoping to get some early feedback on it. You can see and sign up for it here to test it out: https://www.replybin.com/

ReplyBin is a web service that allows you to trigger pre-drafted email sequences with an API call. You use your own transactional email service (currently only SendGrid is supported, but I plan to add others in the future), and you can configure time delays to the emails to space out their delivery.

I welcome any constructive criticism you may have. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Looks cool. A lot of transactional emails have customer data. Not sure you could do that here. A gif tutorial of an example would be good.

Also register email link went to spam, probably a new account thing but double check your send grid account.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll have to look into that deliverability issue you mentioned. Much appreciated.
