A modern email API loved for its developer experience.
Resend set the bar for developer experience in email, with a clean API and first-class React Email support. Publiq shares that DX-first philosophy and goes further where it counts for growing products: a live per-message observability timeline, a visual automation builder, and an AI template builder — with transactional and marketing email unified in one platform.
The gaps teams most often hit with Resend, and how Publiq closes them.
No visual automation builder — multi-step, event-driven flows mean wiring your own scheduler, state and retries.
Publiq ships event-driven automations as a visual graph (delays, conditions, waits, sends) triggered by a single event — no infrastructure to build.
Delivery insight stops at logs — reconstructing the full life of one message across events takes work.
Publiq gives every message a live timeline (queued → processing → delivered → opened → bounced), with signed, replayable webhooks.
Designing rich templates still means hand-writing markup.
Publiq’s AI template builder generates and previews templates from a prompt, versioned and referenceable by key.
