Customer comms as an engineer

Got a service change you need to email customers about — an API deprecation, a new quota limit, a breaking SDK change, a migration deadline? Loop in Joe. He owns customer comms and will handle the copy and the send via Customer.io.

All you need to bring:

  • A rough draft of what you want to say and why
  • The audience: a PostHog cohort or a list of org_ids

Prior art to mirror: the feature-flags quota-limit rollout in product-internal#720.

For the underlying email infrastructure (Customer.io tags, categories, unsubscribe behavior), see the email comms handbook page. For incidents specifically, see engineering incidents — Marketing handles those comms too.
