Knock

Notification infrastructure with workflow engine.

overview

Knock is a workflow-based notification platform: define workflows in code or visually, route across channels (email, push, SMS, in-app), and let users manage preferences. Email is delivered via your provider of choice.

for growth and lifecycle teams

Growth work lives or dies on targeting and measurement. What matters is whether behavioral triggers can be built without engineering time, whether the event stream supports attribution past the open, and whether deliverability holds when broadcast volume shares a reputation with product email.

Against behavior-triggered journeys, broadcasts, and winback campaigns measured on revenue, Knock covers scheduling, event stream, the suppressions API, and multi-tenant support, and does not cover operating track record. Whether that gap matters depends on how central those are to the build.
