Build, test, and manage your Courier integration directly from the command line.
The Courier CLI is a developer tool to help you build, test, and manage your integration with Courier directly from the command line. It’s simple to install, works on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and offers a range of functionality to enhance your developer experience with Courier. You can use the Courier CLI to:
- Send messages from the command line to users, lists, or audiences
- Track events to trigger your Courier Automations
- Push & pull industry-standard translation files for internationalizing your content
From the command-line, use the following command to install the Courier CLI and set your API key:
$ yarn install -g @trycourier/cli
$ courier config --apikey <your-api-key>
- Courier CLI has only been tested on node.js v18+
The fastest way to get started is to run:
$ courier config --apikey <your-api-key>
