"Waypoint's fast and reliable deliverability has taken our account verification success from below 50% to nearly 100%."

Dallin Dyer, CTO of Dree

Hi 👋

We’re Jordan and Carlos, the co-founders of Waypoint.

Let's face it – sending emails from software in 2023 is still a pain. If you are a software developer or play a role on a product team, you know this pain all too well.

The traditional way of creating email templates fells like writing HTML in the 90's and quickly becomes a chore to maintain with endless back-and-forths between product and engineering.

Other services with dynamic template builders are a step in the right direction, however, they fall flat when working with data-heavy content. This is because these services use repurposed marketing email builders for templates with little to no dynamic data.

With Waypoint, we've built a new kind of email service with unique approaches to helping teams divide and conquer the workload. Designers can build templates visually, developers can focus on sending the right data with debugging tools, and product managers can orchestrate and monitor deliverability.

Everyone can now focus on what they do best.

Emails can have a bad reputation at times, however, the truth is that they still act as the ‘glue of UX’ for most platforms and they are key to onboarding and engaging users.

Waypoint is our approach to product-triggered emails. It's a platform we wish we had while building software in the past and we're now on a mission to help other software companies not deal with the same frustrations.
