@zenorocha @vcapretz @jopcmelo How does it always rain when you race 😂

Morning run took me from the majestic Old Capitol to fallout shelters to beer pong along the sidewalk.

@samelliottbh @zenorocha Egg on the face moment! I suggested this to @cpenned and let me know he did a deep dive on Automations last week. https://t.co/sdDqu2NnYi

[Resend @resend]

We just announced Automations.

Build lifecycle sequences triggered by events in your app.

@samelliottbh @zenorocha Makes tons of sense!

[Brian Kerr @thebriankerr]

@samelliottbh @zenorocha Anything in particular you'd like to see?

[Brian Kerr @thebriankerr]

@aarondfrancis If it works on your machine, that's good enough, right?

Now hiring: Customer Success Engineer

Hiring a CSE to help engineering teams with complex requirements that need white glove assistance when moving to Resend.

Based in European or Brazilian timezones.

[Brian Kerr @thebriankerr]

Curious what change they're alluding to here. Can't say that I've heard of any chatter that matches this or seen metrics drop.

[Substack @Substack]

Gmail changed how tracking pixels work, so open rates are reading lower across every email platform

Your audience hasn’t gone anywhere—this change has had no impact on actual subscriber behavior. Click-through rates, delivery, and engagement have all remained stable. These, along with new subscriber counts, unique views, and paid conversion rates, are the clearest signals of genuine, high-quality engagement and whether people are truly connecting with what you're making.

Email may continue getting less reliable. We can’t control how email providers operate, but this is exactly why we are investing in the Substack app, which delivers posts and Notes directly to your audience. On Substack, you have a direct line to subscribers, on a platform whose business model only works when yours does.
