Deploy Notifuse on Northflank

Notifuse is an open source notification platform designed to help teams send, manage, and scale transactional and product notifications from a single system. It’s commonly used for email, in-app, and event-driven notifications across web and backend applications.

With Northflank, you can deploy Notifuse in minutes using the Notifuse stack template. This prebuilt setup provisions the database, networking, secrets, and runtime configuration automatically, so you can focus on building notification workflows instead of managing infrastructure.

Notifuse is a free, open source email platform that combines marketing automation and transactional emails in one unified system. You can create responsive email templates using a visual drag-and-drop builder, send broadcast campaigns to segmented audiences, and trigger transactional emails through a REST API.

Notifuse lets you manage contacts and lists with powerful segmentation, track user behavior using custom events for RFM analysis, and connect your preferred email provider such as Amazon SES, Mailgun, Postmark, SendGrid, SparkPost, Mailjet, or any SMTP server. It also supports isolated workspaces for multi-tenant setups.

Built for teams that want infrastructure control, data ownership, and flexibility, Notifuse is fully customizable and self-hosted.

The Notifuse stack template provisions everything needed for a production-ready Notifuse environment.

It includes:

• PostgreSQL addon for storing notification data, delivery state, and configuration
• Notifuse service deployment running the official Docker image
• Secret group for securely managing database credentials and application secrets

This setup keeps the system simple, secure, and easy to scale while following production best practices.
