Pulsetic shipped two releases this month 🚀 🤖 AI Monitors: describe a user journey in plain English and an AI agent tests it in a real browser pulsetic.com/ai-monitoring/ 🌐 DNS Monitoring: every record tracked, every change logged, free on every plan pulsetic.com/dns-monitori...

"Offer ends soon" doesn't move anyone. A clock ticking toward midnight does. Live countdown timers are now built into the Postcards email builder. Set the date, style it, send. Just in time for Black Friday 👇 designmodo.com/postcards/em...

Pulsetic shipped dependency monitoring, and it answers the question every team asks first when something breaks: is this us, or is it something we depend on? Pick from a catalogue of 4,300+ services. pulsetic.com/dependency-m...

🙌 And you can put it on your public status page. Dependencies show up next to your own monitors with their incident timeline. Provider goes down → your visitors see exactly that, instead of assuming you broke something.

Nothing to install. No API key to hand over. Pick a service in your account and it starts watching. Browse the catalogue → pulsetic.com/status/

📩 You get an email when the provider opens an incident, every time it posts an update, and when it's marked resolved. Nobody has to sit refreshing six status pages hoping one turns orange.

📊 Every provider gets its own page. Status right now. 90-day history split into major/minor with median time to resolve. Response times from New York, Singapore, Bangalore and Toronto. Recent incidents with impact and duration.

Pulsetic shipped three releases this month, all aimed at the same gap: monitoring tells you something broke, almost never what broke 🧵

🤖 Second: an AI assistant that reads your actual monitoring data. Live monitors, incidents, domains, RUM. No more clicking through 6 screens. "Is anything down right now?" It acts too: creates monitors, pauses one for a deploy, opens incidents. pulsetic.com/ai-assistant/

📊 Third: annotations on the response time chart. 1,700ms → 2,900ms means nothing until you know what shipped at 11:15. Mark the deploy. Mark the rollback. The gap between them = exactly how long the regression lasted. Backdating included 👌 pulsetic.com/annotations/

Pulsetic shipped three releases this month, all aimed at the same gap: monitoring tells you something broke, almost never what broke 🧵

📸 First: screenshots the moment a check fails. By the time you open a browser, the site's back up and you've learned nothing. Now you see the exact page visitors hit. A CDN 502 error, and a suspended account look identical in a dashboard. pulsetic.com/monitor-scre...

Every marketer says their newsletter is “engaging.” The ones that actually are share three traits, and the third is the one nobody checks. 🧵

Outlook renders email through the Microsoft Word engine, and Word ignores Flexbox. So a two-column block that looks perfect in Gmail collapses into two stacked blocks. Nested tables with inline styles don’t. Build at 600–650px, one column below 600.

The pre-send check, nine lines: - width 600–800px - nested tables + inline CSS - alt text on every image - one column below 600px - dark mode tested, not assumed - custom preheader, 90 characters - one CTA per content block - file size optimised for mobile

Every marketer says their newsletter is “engaging.” The ones that actually are share three traits, and the third is the one nobody checks. 🧵

The three traits: - a repeatable template - one clear action per content block - one layout that holds in Outlook, Gmail and Apple Mail The first two are decisions. The third is testing.

Most AI emails come out generic for one reason: the prompt was lazy. "Write a sales email for my company" gives the AI nothing. So it guesses, and you get junk. Here's the 6-part fix, plus 30+ ready prompts 🧵

The tip nobody uses: tell the AI what to AVOID. "No exclamation marks. No spam trigger words. No clickbait." Boundaries shape output as much as instructions do.

All 30+ prompts are sorted by email type and ready to copy. Go steal them 👇 designmodo.com/ai-email-pro...

The framework. Every strong email prompt mixes some of these: - Context: what it's about - Audience: who gets it - Goal: what they should do - Tone: how it sounds - Length: short or detailed - CTA: what the button says You don't need all six. Each one cuts your editing.

4 updates just landed in the Postcards email builder: - Preview in Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail & Yahoo before sending - New API for your CRM and automations - Gmail Promotions support - Ask Claude or ChatGPT to find & export a template

Stop guessing how your email renders. Now you can check Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and Yahoo on iPhone, iPad, and desktop, right from the Preview screen. No more exporting just to see if it looks right.

Everything but that last part is live in your editor right now. Go build 👇 designmodo.com/postcards/

Plug into your whole stack. The new API connects your CRM, CMS, and automations, so you can trigger an export the moment a product launches or a campaign gets approved.

Make your offers stand out in Gmail. Add product images, discount codes, and expiry dates to your campaign. Gmail shows the deal in the Promotions tab before anyone opens. Most senders leave that space empty.

Connect Postcards to your AI tools. Through the new MCP server, you can ask Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT to find a template and export it as ready-to-paste HTML. No clicking through the editor to get the code.

Your provider's status page is slow, and it's selective about what it admits. So we built something more honest. Pulsetic now monitors 100+ third-party services in one place 👇
