Question 1

What does Yournotify do?

Accepted Answer

Yournotify is a Nigerian-built multi-channel customer notification platform providing a unified API for bulk SMS, email marketing, push notifications, and WhatsApp messaging — all designed with Nigerian businesses in mind, offering NGN-denominated pricing, Nigerian carrier-optimized SMS delivery, and a single dashboard and API for managing customer communication across multiple channels. Founded in Nigeria and built to solve Nigerian business communication challenges, Yournotify offers the depth of understanding of the Nigerian telecommunications environment that international alternatives cannot match, while providing a modern API that competes with global standards.

The SMS API component of Yournotify delivers bulk SMS and transactional messages to all four major Nigerian mobile networks — MTN, Airtel, Glo, and 9mobile — with DND compliance built in and support for NCC-registered sender IDs. Nigerian businesses can send OTP codes, transaction alerts, appointment reminders, account notifications, and marketing promotions through the same Yournotify API account, with message routing automatically adjusted for transactional versus promotional content. The NGN pricing model means Nigerian businesses pay for SMS at naira rates without foreign exchange conversion.

Email marketing through the Yournotify API enables sending transactional emails (password resets, order confirmations, receipts) and marketing email campaigns (newsletters, promotions, re-engagement emails) from Nigerian business domains. Yournotify handles email deliverability infrastructure — SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration, IP warming, and spam score management — so Nigerian businesses can achieve reliable inbox placement without managing email server infrastructure. Campaign analytics including open rates, click rates, and unsubscribes are tracked per campaign.

WhatsApp Business messaging through Yournotify gives Nigerian businesses access to the WhatsApp Business API for sending template messages, customer service conversations, and rich media content through WhatsApp. Given that WhatsApp is the dominant messaging platform in Nigeria with near-universal usage among smartphone users, reaching Nigerian customers through WhatsApp dramatically increases message open rates compared to SMS or email for many business types. Yournotify's WhatsApp integration includes template management and approval workflows.

Push notification delivery through the Yournotify API reaches mobile app users on iOS and Android via Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and Apple Push Notification Service (APNs), enabling Nigerian app developers to send real-time alerts, updates, and promotional messages to their app users. For Nigerian e-commerce apps, fintech platforms, and content apps that want to re-engage inactive users or notify active users of time-sensitive events, push notifications through Yournotify provide an additional cost-free channel beyond SMS.

Audience segmentation allows creating user segments based on attributes and behaviors, then targeting specific segments with tailored messages across any channel. A Nigerian e-commerce platform might segment customers by purchase history and send different promotional messages to high-value versus budget customers, or separate active users from churned users for re-engagement campaigns.

Contact list management through Yournotify stores Nigerian phone numbers and email addresses with custom fields, supporting import from CSV, direct API sync from CRM systems, and automated list growth through embedded forms. Nigerian businesses can centralize their customer contact database in Yournotify and use it as the single source for all multi-channel communication. The platform is priced in NGN with affordable plans for Nigerian startups and SMEs, scaling to enterprise plans for high-volume senders.
