I think this is a good idea. I can see many uses, but I believe the free tier is a bit restricted (32 emails per month).

You can set up a Catch Webhook [1] + Outgoing Email [2] automation in Zapier and it gives you 5 emails/day for free. Admittedly it is more complicated than using this, though.

I'm no Zapier user, but I think you need a Professional account (€18.73/mo) to use webhooks.

Ah, I stand corrected. I only checked out email sending limits as I didn't think incoming webhooks would be a premium feature!

Looks like I have some room to raise prices! $12/year is nothing in comparison :)

Guess it's time to write a blog post about how I'm 10x cheaper than Zapier and 1,000 times easier to set up!

Ah thanks for this feedback -- 5 emails/day is pretty good, but I was hoping the service was so cheap that people would just... upgrade and call it a day.

I wonder if there's anything I could do to improve the service that would make it a no-brainer. Clearly it's not a no-brainer yet!
