Notifizz Certified Partners
Most teams don’t fail at notifications because the platform is hard. They fail because the project is hard — picking the right events, mapping the existing Martech, getting Marketing and Dev rowing in the same direction, training the team to own it. Notifizz Certified Partners do that work for you, with a proven playbook and a hard outcome: a programme your team owns, on day one of phase three. If you want the shortest path from “we want better notifications” to “we run a measurable programme”, a Certified Partner is the move. Engage one from the dashboard or email partners@notifizz.com to be matched with two or three candidates within 48 hours.TL;DR
- Vetted, trained, certified by Notifizz on the product, the integration patterns, the AI/MCP tooling, and the privacy story.
- Three-phase engagement: discovery → implementation → enablement. Each phase has a clear deliverable; you can engage for one or all three.
- Your team ends up owning the result. Knowledge transfer is in the contract — partners optimise for hand-off, not retainer.
- Independent of your Notifizz subscription — partners bill you directly, on terms you agree with them. Notifizz takes no cut.
- 48-hour matchmaking via the dashboard or partners@notifizz.com.
Why work with a Certified Partner
Three concrete reasons most teams choose to engage one:- Time-to-value collapses. Discovery, integration, first campaigns and team training in weeks, not quarters. Partners have done this many times; you’ll do it once.
- You skip the expensive mistakes. A wrong tagging plan, a missing enricher, a Martech connector wired the wrong way — each costs weeks to unwind. The partner has seen them all and avoids them on day one.
- Your team levels up. Phase three is dedicated to training — Marketing on the AI campaign workflow, Dev on enrichers and the orchestrator, Product on QA and measurement. You leave with a team that ships, not a vendor lock-in.
Especially valuable when
A partner makes the biggest difference if any of these is true — and most teams hit at least one:- Ambitious scope, small team. Multi-channel programme spanning marketing, lifecycle, and transactional with a team of three.
- Non-trivial Martech. Segment, a CDP, Intercom, a CRM, a warehouse — connecting them well takes a Martech-literate eye.
- A board-level deadline. “Measurable programme by next quarter” is a partner-shaped problem.
- No internal Martech ownership yet. Marketing, Dev and Product are willing, but no-one currently owns the notification stack end-to-end.
- High compliance bar. Regulated industry, DPO involvement, formal data-mapping deliverables.
The three phases
A typical engagement breaks into three phases. Each one has a clear deliverable and a clear hand-off; you can engage a partner for one phase and pick up the rest yourself.Phase 1 — Discovery (needs analysis)
The partner spends time with your team to define what to notify, why, and from what data. Concretely:- Notification needs. Which user moments need a notification? Which are missing today? Which existing notifications are noisy or off-target?
- Martech mapping. Inventory of the existing stack — analytics (Segment / Mixpanel / Amplitude), CRM (HubSpot / Salesforce / Pipedrive), customer messaging (Intercom / Zendesk), email infra, warehouse, internal services.
- Tagging plan. Which events your code should emit, with which properties, named consistently. The contract between Dev and Marketing for the months ahead.
- Business data inventory. What lives where: which traits are in your DB, which are in the CRM, which need joining. Determines which enrichers to build and what they fetch.
- Compliance touchpoints. DPO sign-off, retention policy, suppression handling, legal basis per campaign category.
- Success metrics. What “the programme works” actually looks like — open rate, click rate, conversion lift, opt-out rate, time-to-onboarded.
Phase 2 — Implementation
With the discovery in hand, the partner stands the platform up:- Events in code. Wire
client.track(...)calls in your backend matching the tagging plan; ship them through your normal release process. - Enrichers in code. Implement and host the enrichers identified in discovery —
fetchUser,fetchSubscription,fetchSegmentMembership, etc. — with the appropriate cache TTLs and HMAC signing. See enrichers tutorial. - AI tooling via Notifizz MCP. Connect Claude / Cursor / your team’s AI assistant to the Notifizz MCP server so the AI can author orchestrators with full visibility into your registered events, enrichers, brands and variables.
- Connectors. Wire Segment, Stripe, Intercom, HubSpot and any custom inbound webhooks. See integrations.
- Environments. Configure dev / staging / production environments, API keys, and the promotion workflow that fits your release cadence.
- Brands, templates, variables. Stand up brands, base templates and the variable catalogue so Marketing can author campaigns autonomously.
- First campaigns end-to-end. Three to five priority campaigns from the backlog, fully shipped, with delivery history reviewed and signed off.
- Observability. Dashboards, alerting on failed deliveries / DLQ depth / enricher errors. See observability.
Phase 3 — Enablement (hand-off)
The point of the engagement is that your team owns the result. The third phase is dedicated to that hand-off:- Marketing training. Authoring campaigns in the dashboard, the AI orchestrator workflow, the variable system, A/B testing patterns, brand and template editing.
- Dev training. Adding new events / enrichers, reviewing AI-proposed orchestrator code, the activity log review surface, the error catalogue, incident response.
- Product / Ops training. Reading delivery history, interpreting funnel data, running QA on campaigns before promotion to Live, oncall playbooks.
- DPO / Legal walk-through. The data minimisation story, retention curseur configuration, suppression handling, the DPA and the export endpoints for right-of-access requests.
- Runbook. A document tailored to your stack — “what to do when X” for the first three months, after which you no longer need it.
- Periodic review (optional). Many engagements include a monthly or quarterly review for the first six months, where the partner audits the programme and proposes next-step campaigns.
How to engage a partner
- From the dashboard. Settings → Partners → “Find a Certified Partner” lets you filter by region, language, industry experience, and Martech specialisation, and request an introduction.
- By email. Write to partners@notifizz.com with a one-paragraph brief — current stack, scope, timeline — and the team will recommend two or three partners.
- Direct. If you already work with a Notifizz Certified Partner, engage them directly; their certification stays valid against the live version of the platform.
Becoming a Certified Partner
Agencies, integrators, and consultancies who want to join the programme go through:- Application — short form covering team size, Martech experience, reference projects.
- Training — multi-day course on the product, the AI orchestrator, integration patterns, and the privacy / compliance story.
- Certification — practical evaluation: stand up a reference programme on a sample stack and present the deliverables.
- Ongoing maintenance — annual recertification against the current product, access to the partner channel for early-access features and direct support.
FAQ
Is a partner worth the investment for my team?
Is a partner worth the investment for my team?
For most teams shipping a real programme — yes. The platform is designed to be self-served, and small scopes ship fine that way. But once the scope hits “multi-channel + multiple stakeholders + a real Martech stack”, the partner’s playbook is usually faster and cheaper than discovery-as-you-go. A discovery call costs nothing; partners can scope your project before you commit.
How is a partner different from Notifizz Support?
How is a partner different from Notifizz Support?
Notifizz Support handles platform-level issues — bugs, account problems, infrastructure incidents. Partners handle your project — discovery, integration with your specific stack, training your specific team. Different scopes, different commercial models. Both can be engaged in parallel.
Can a partner own the project long-term?
Can a partner own the project long-term?
They can, but the programme is designed against that. The third phase is explicitly about hand-off; ongoing operation by the partner is an option but not the default. Partners who do hold long-term retainers typically run a quarterly review cadence rather than day-to-day operation.
Are partner engagements covered by Notifizz's DPA?
Are partner engagements covered by Notifizz's DPA?
The Notifizz DPA covers Notifizz as the processor of your customer data. The partner is a separate party — typically engaged under a separate DPA between you and them, depending on whether they ever process customer data themselves. Most partners work entirely on configuration and code, not on customer data, which keeps the DPA scope simple. Check with the partner before engagement.
How are partners selected and certified?
How are partners selected and certified?
Partners go through an application, a multi-day training, and a practical evaluation before being certified. Certification is renewed annually against the current version of the product. The partner directory shows each partner’s specialisations, regions, and reference projects.
What if the partner relationship doesn't work out?
What if the partner relationship doesn't work out?
The deliverables (events, enrichers, dashboards, runbook) live in your code and your Notifizz workspace — they don’t leave with the partner. You can switch partners or take the project in-house at any time. The activity log gives you a complete history of what was done and by whom.
