Excited to hear what you all think!

@loops_adam what I think is you and @frantzlight are two of the most switched-on and connected to your customer, founders in the space. That's reflected in the product ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Hi Product Hunt! ๐Ÿ˜ธ We're excited to officially peel back the curtain and say goodbye to the waitlist that we've had for ~2 years at Loops! In that time we have individually onboarded thousands of customers with thousands more still on the waitlist. We've taken all of that early feedback and learnings to shape the product into what you see today. Loops is powerful while also being simple and beautiful. That's something you probably never thought you'd read about an email platform. With Loops you can: ๐Ÿค– Put the necessary touch points for your SaaS on auto-pilot to ensure that your customers are always in the loop ๐ŸŽ‰ Send out your new product announcements โœ๏ธ Join the newsletter craze and send your thoughts to your readers (I personally use Loops for my own newsletter!) ๐Ÿค Send transactional email (ie. forgot password) โ™พ And more! It's email made easy. We will be here in the comments all day. We'd love to hear what you think! ๐Ÿ™Œ

@samdebrule Thanks, Sam! Excited to get this out there! ๐Ÿš€

@leena_jose The early onboardings really helped us prioritize the "must have" or table stakes features for some companies that we knew we absolutely needed to have prior to a public launch like this. You only get one real shot at it, after all. Once we'd hear the same request over and over and over again we knew it needed to be a priority. As for automating the various touch points of a SaaS... with Loops you can set up endless automated emails with triggers based around events that are ready to send 24/7 without you needing to intervene. Onboarding drip for new customers, inviting trial users to upgrade to paid, nudging inactive users, asking dedicated users for feedback or reviews, etc can all be automated in order to keep your user activity high and customer support low.

@ryangilbert Congratulations on the official launch, Loops! ๐Ÿš€ Your journey from the waitlist to this moment is impressive, and it's great to see how you've used early feedback to shape the product. Loops sounds like a versatile and user-friendly email platform, and the fact that you use it for your own newsletter speaks volumes. Wishing you a fantastic launch day, and may you continue to grow and evolve with more exciting features in the future. ๐ŸŽ‰ Cheers! ๐Ÿฅ‚
Ryan Gilbert
@noraharrison Thank you! Fun fact: I've personally sent over 1,000,000 emails with Loops for my newsletter

We've been building Loops for the better part of the last two years. We haven't been building in silence either - the first year we did almost 300 onboarding calls. We have hundreds of Slack Connect channels set up with our users and it's helped us build this platform. We built Loops because we used Mailchimp, Sendgrid and Mandrill at our previous companies. They were so painful and so expensive. There had to be a better way. Now, with thousands of users sending emails (>1m/day) we're delighted to remove the waitlist and open it up. Now any one can use Loops, no call, no waitlist. And it's free for your first 1,000 contacts. I hope this solves a problem for you. It solved one for me, I use it every day. And please! Let me know what you think :)

Congrats on the launch, @frantzlight and the Loops team! Chris, I'm reminded of what you had noted in your Relay interview: "Because delight just doesnโ€™t exist in this space. I donโ€™t even know if users in this are familiar with that term. Consider this: Thereโ€™s no Notion of this space yet. Thereโ€™s no Linear. Thereโ€™s no Figma. We want to own that mantle." So great to see that goal being furthered! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ
Chris Frantz
@mrakashsharma I still stand by that! We're going for it with Loops. Appreciate your support!
Matthew Busel
@frantzlight congrats Chris! The attention to detail in Loops is clear. Your team has taken something that is so painful and made it simple and easy. Not to mention, the customer support is second to none. Big fan and glad to be an early user!

I bookmarked Loops.so almost a year ago to bootstrap the endless ideas I'm finally getting out the door. Honestly could have setup the waitlist last year. This feels like a no brainer. Simplicity, clean UX, caring about the finer details like fine wine is what developer products are all about. Using this has been pure joy! Oh and the docs are exquisite. ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ’Œ
Ryan Gilbert
@artivilla The docs are all @frantzlight ๐Ÿ‘Œ

I've been using Loops for the last month and have been impressed with the experience thus far. Most importantly though, the team is incredibly responsive and take the time to listen to feedback. We've switched over from Customer.io and couldn't be happier!
Chris Frantz
@bendell That's amazing Ben! Thanks for sharing ๐Ÿ˜

Working with the Loops team and product has been a really smooth experience. The product is super clean and designed specifically for SaaS, so it fit right into what I needed. @frantzlight, @ryangilbert , and the rest of the crew really know their stuff when it comes to email, and they're always quick to help out with any questions or issues. Highly recommend giving Loops a try if you're in the market! ๐Ÿ˜Š

@frantzlight @abhiondemand Appreciate it and glad you've been loving Loops so far! ๐Ÿ˜ธ

Congrats on the launch! We're been watching Loops and recommending Loops within the no-code Bubble community for a while.
Chris Frantz
@mattblake_uk Awesome! We're going to ship a Bubble plugin soon-ish :)
Matt Blake
@frantzlight Amazing look forward to testing it. We've already got a video tutorial showing how to link the Bubble API Connector with Loops API available to watch here https://www.planetnocode.com/tut...
Trevin Chow
@ryangilbert Congrats on the launch. Any plans to get rudderstack integration?
Ryan Gilbert
@trevin Adding to the list! We have tons of integrations planned.
Trevin Chow
@ryangilbert docs werenโ€™t totally clear on this but do you support arbitrary custom events with custom properties? I am assuming yes.
Ryan Gilbert
@trevin Yes! You can :) We will work on getting that portion of the docs cleaned up to be more clear.
