That's a great question. The 3 email categories IMO are the following.

- Transactional: one-time emails, sent through an API on-demand (e.g. password resets, magic links...)

- Automations: Repeatable sequences such as onboarding flows with delays and follow-ups

- Broadcasts: Emails sent to a segment of contacts (e.g. newsletters, changelogs...)

Thanks! I might be good to write some content (blog posts) about those different categories and which existing solution could be replaced with your tool.

You do have something covered at https://www.useplunk.com/use-cases but a lot more could be added.

That's actually good feedback. I've been chatting with people who switched providers and am building out comparison pages at the moment!

Thank you so much for the interaction and feedback.

Sure, no problem. I don't have a use case where I could test your app so this kind of feedback is all that I can do :)
