A lifecycle and transactional email platform for PLG SaaS. Ranla runs automations and audiences from product behavior, and includes a built-in agent that drafts and asks before it sends. SMS steps run through your Twilio account. ### Who is Ranla for? Small and mid-market PLG SaaS teams that need an email platform, not an agent to bolt onto mail they already send. If your last few thousand signups have never received an email from you, that is the job. ### I have never wired up product events. Can I still use it? Yes, and most people start there. Connect GitHub and the agent scans the codebase, instruments the events Ranla needs, and opens a pull request you review. It can also recommend events you should add and write those into the same repo. If you already use PostHog, Amplitude, or Mixpanel, connect that instead. Ranla copies the moments that matter for people with an email, no PR required. Either path is enough. ### Can Ranla add tracking to our codebase? Yes. Connect a GitHub repo in the workspace. The agent scans the product, recommends events you are missing, instruments them, and opens a pull request. You merge. It does not push to your default branch. Analytics connect is the other on-ramp if you would rather not change the repo. ### Do I have to click around the product to build campaigns? No. Talk in the agent window. It can make templates, build campaigns, set up automations, and work audiences, the same place it can open a GitHub pull request. The dashboard is still there when you want it. Nothing sends until your rules say so. ### Will it email my users without asking me? Only if you tell it to. You pick the mode: Draft leaves everything for you to send, Propose asks before each send, Autopilot lets it send inside your limits. Any audience over 5,000 people needs your approval in every mode, and Ranla can tighten its own limits but never loosen them. ### Can I run Ranla from Slack? Yes. Ranla sits in Slack like a teammate. DM it, @mention it in a channel, or use /ranla. Brief it, approve a send, snooze, see what it is doing. Open the app when you want the canvas or the full picture. ### What limits can I put on how much it sends? You set the frequency cap, the daily account cap, and the audience size above which a send waits for you. They are enforced in the send path rather than asked for in a prompt, so they hold on every send. Defaults are two emails per person per week at least 48 hours apart, and sends stop mid-flight if complaints pass 0.1% or bounces pass 5%. ### How do I know the emails actually did anything? You pick the outcome that counts (activation, paid conversion, a first key action), and Ranla holds back a control group that gets nothing. Comparing the two is how you see whether a campaign moved that number or whether those users would have converted anyway. Campaigns that do not beat the control get dropped, and what does beat it shapes the next one, so the work compounds instead of repeating. ### Does it only send one-off campaigns, or does it build automations? Both, in that order. Ranla starts with campaigns because that is how it finds out what works on your users, and a campaign that beats its holdout gets promoted, with your approval, into an always-on automation that fires for every user who hits that moment from then on. You can also ask it to build a standard automation outright, like a welcome sequence, a trial-ending series, or a win-back. Campaigns and automations share one frequency count per person. ### How long until the first email goes out? You can see a draft written for your product in a couple of minutes without signing up. Real sends wait on setup finishing and on having something to segment on, usually the same day you connect analytics and pick moments, or merge the tracking pull request. ### Can Ranla send my password resets and receipts too? It can, through one API, sharing the same suppression list so a marketing unsubscribe never blocks a password reset. Transactional and lifecycle mail go out the same way. ### Can I add Ranla to Cursor, Claude, or Grok? Yes. Add the hosted MCP server (https://mcp.ranla.ai/mcp) in Cursor, Claude, Grok, or any client that speaks MCP. The agents talk to each other. Ranla still drafts and asks. Send rules and approvals stay in Ranla. ### Does adding Ranla to another agent skip send approvals? No. Other agents talk with the same Ranla agent that drafts and asks. Draft, Propose, and Autopilot still apply. Any audience over 5,000 people still needs your approval. Slack and the app still work. ### How is Ranla priced? Start sending for free. Paid plans start at $99/mo, priced on people engaged in the last 90 days (product use or email open/click), not raw list size. Each plan includes emails; usage above the included amounts bills as overage. SMS goes through your Twilio account. ## FAQ - Platform Source: https://ranla.ai/platform ### What is the Ranla platform? Ranla is a lifecycle and transactional email platform for PLG SaaS: automations, audiences, analytics, email, and a built-in agent that drafts and asks before it sends. ### Is the agent a separate product? No. The agent is built into Ranla. You talk in one window to make templates, campaigns, automations, and audiences. Sends still wait on your rules. ### Where do I start? Start free at app.ranla.ai. Connect GitHub or analytics, pick moments that matter, and let the agent draft. Or open Platform pillars: Automations, Audiences, Agent window, Analytics, and Email. ## FAQ - Automations Source: https://ranla.ai/platform/automations ### How do Ranla automations work? Ranla runs campaigns first with a holdout, then promotes winners into always-on automations that fire on product behavior. Email, plus SMS steps on your Twilio account. ### What is the difference between a campaign and an automation? A campaign is a one-off send with a control group so you see lift. An automation is always-on for every user who hits that moment afterward. Both share one frequency count per person. ### Can automations include SMS? Yes. SMS steps run through your Twilio account. You pay Twilio; Ranla triggers the step inside the automation. ## FAQ - Agent window Source: https://ranla.ai/platform/agent ### What is the Ranla agent window? The in-product conversation where you brief Ranla: templates, campaigns, automations, audiences, and GitHub instrumentation. It drafts and asks. You approve sends in the app or Slack. ### Can Ranla instrument our codebase? Yes. Connect GitHub. The agent scans the repo, recommends events, instruments them, and opens a pull request. You merge. It does not push to your default branch. ### Does Ranla work in Slack? Yes. DM it, @mention it, or use /ranla. Brief it, approve a send, see progress. The canvas stays in the app when you want the full picture. ## FAQ - Audiences Source: https://ranla.ai/platform/audiences ### How do Ranla audiences work? Segments update from product events (PostHog, Amplitude, Mixpanel, or events wired via a GitHub PR), not a CSV you keep refreshing. ### Can I target people who signed up but never activated? Yes. Build segments on real behavior: signed up, never invited a teammate, hit a feature once then went quiet. Audiences stay live as events arrive. ### Do audiences connect to conversion goals? Yes. The same events power goals on Conversions. Segments and the primary goal share one event model. Large audiences still need your approval before send. ## FAQ - Conversions Source: https://ranla.ai/platform/conversions ### What are conversion goals in Ranla? Named outcomes that mean winning: activation, paid conversion, or a key product action. Exactly one goal is primary. Campaigns, automations, and the agent optimize toward it. ### How is this different from Analytics? Conversions is what you optimize toward. Analytics is how you measure lift (holdouts and reports) against those goals. Opens do not count as winning. ### Can I track revenue and events? Yes. Goals can be event-based or revenue-based, with attribution windows. Activity and attributed revenue show up next to the goals. ## FAQ - Analytics Source: https://ranla.ai/platform/analytics ### How does Ranla measure whether email worked? Ranla holds back a control group that gets nothing. You compare outcomes from your conversion goals (activation, paid conversion, a key action) against people who were not mailed, not vanity opens. ### What happens to campaigns that lose to the holdout? Campaigns that do not beat the control get dropped. Winners shape the next campaign and can be promoted into automations with your approval. ### Where do I define the outcome? On Conversions. Name the primary goal there; Analytics reports lift against it. ## FAQ - Email Source: https://ranla.ai/platform/email ### Is Ranla an email platform or just an agent? Ranla is the email platform. Lifecycle and transactional mail share one API and one suppression list. The agent is built in; it drafts and asks before it sends. ### Can I send password resets and marketing from the same place? Yes. Transactional and lifecycle go out the same way. A marketing unsubscribe never blocks a password reset. See the transactional page for API and SDK examples. ### Do I need another ESP? No. Ranla is the ESP for PLG SaaS teams that need automations and audiences from product behavior, not an agent bolted onto mail you already send elsewhere. ## FAQ - Transactional Source: https://ranla.ai/platform/transactional ### Does Ranla send transactional email? Yes. Password resets, receipts, and product mail go out through the Ranla API. Official SDKs cover Node, Python, PHP, Ruby, and Go, plus a CLI. ### Do transactional and lifecycle share one stack? Yes. Same API, same domain reputation, and one suppression list. A marketing unsubscribe never blocks a password reset. ### Can I start free for transactional only? Yes. Free includes transactional sends up to 3,000 a month and 100 a day on one domain. Lifecycle campaigns and the agent require a paid plan. ## FAQ - Replies Source: https://ranla.ai/platform/replies ### Does Ranla handle replies to campaigns? Yes. Inbound lands in a conversation inbox. Ranla classifies intent, drafts in your voice, and either sends when confidence clears your gate or escalates with a draft ready for you. ### Can replies send without me? Only if you turn auto-send on and the intent clears your confidence threshold. Refunds, churn, legal, and complaints always escalate. Auto-reply starts off. ### Do transactional replies show up too? Yes. Lifecycle and transactional share the stack, so someone writing back about a campaign or a receipt lands in the same inbox. ## FAQ - AI agent / MCP Source: https://ranla.ai/ai-agent ### Does Ranla include an AI agent? Yes. Ranla is a lifecycle and transactional email platform with a built-in agent. You can talk in the product window to make templates, campaigns, automations, and audiences. The agent drafts and asks. You decide what sends. ### Can I add Ranla to Cursor, Claude, or Grok? Yes. Add the hosted MCP server (https://mcp.ranla.ai/mcp) in Cursor, Claude, Grok, or any client that speaks MCP. There is also a Ranla plugin for Grok. The agents talk to each other. Memory, drafts, and send approvals stay in Ranla. ### Does adding Ranla to another agent skip send approvals? No. Other agents talk with the same Ranla agent that already drafts and asks. Draft, Propose, and Autopilot still apply. Large audiences still need your yes. Slack and the app still work. ### Do I still need the dashboard if I use Cursor or Claude? No, not for day-to-day briefs. You can operate automations and audiences from the editor. You will still sign up, connect GitHub or analytics, and approve sends when your rules require it. The dashboard is there when you want the full picture. ### Where do I add the MCP server? Use https://mcp.ranla.ai/mcp as a remote MCP server. Docs cover Cursor, Claude, and hosted OAuth in more detail. You do not need a second mail stack. Ranla is the email platform the agent operates. ## FAQ - Solutions Source: https://ranla.ai/solutions ### Who is Ranla built for? Small and mid-market PLG SaaS teams: marketing, product, and engineering. Use cases include activation, onboarding, retention, and cross-sell. ### Do you sell to enterprise or healthcare? Self-serve Start free is the motion. There is no Book a demo enterprise page and no healthcare marketing claim on this site. ### Where should I start if I care about activation? Open Solutions → Activation, or start free and connect analytics or GitHub so audiences can segment on real product behavior. ## FAQ - Solutions · Activation Source: https://ranla.ai/solutions/activation ### How does Ranla help with activation? Ranla watches product events, drafts activation automations, and measures lift against people who got nothing, so you know what actually moves activation. ### What does Ranla do for activation teams? Segment on real product behavior. Signed up but never invited a teammate. Hit the core feature once, then went quiet. Segments update from PostHog, Amplitude, Mixpanel, or a GitHub PR. ### Do I need another email tool for activation? No. Ranla is the email platform: automations, audiences, transactional mail, and a built-in agent. Prove, then automate. Run a campaign with a holdout first. Promote winners into always-on automations so activation does not depend on someone remembering to send. ## FAQ - Solutions · Onboarding Source: https://ranla.ai/solutions/onboarding ### How does Ranla help with onboarding? Skip the day-1 / day-3 / day-7 spray. Ranla builds onboarding that branches on events, cancels when someone activates, and shares frequency caps with the rest of your lifecycle. ### What does Ranla do for onboarding teams? Event-driven, not calendar-driven. Welcome, verify, first-value nudge: each step waits on behavior (or a sensible timeout), then moves on. ### Do I need another email tool for onboarding? No. Ranla is the email platform: automations, audiences, transactional mail, and a built-in agent. Lifecycle and transactional together. Password reset and “you’re in” share one sending path and one suppression list. Receipts and resets do not need a second provider. ## FAQ - Solutions · Retention Source: https://ranla.ai/solutions/retention ### How does Ranla help with retention? Ranla finds people going cold from product events, drafts win-back and save plays, and scores them on outcomes, not vanity clicks. ### What does Ranla do for retention teams? Act on usage drop-off. Days since last session, feature abandoned, trial ending. Segments stay live so you do not chase a stale CSV. ### Do I need another email tool for retention? No. Ranla is the email platform: automations, audiences, transactional mail, and a built-in agent. Test angles before you automate. Try a few win-back hooks with a holdout. Keep what lifts retention; drop the rest. ## FAQ - Solutions · Cross-sell & upsell Source: https://ranla.ai/solutions/cross-sell-upsell ### How does Ranla help with cross-sell & upsell? When someone hits a limit, adopts a power feature, or sits on a plan that no longer fits, Ranla can draft and gate the expansion message, then prove it with a holdout. ### What does Ranla do for cross-sell & upsell teams? Target usage, not vibes. Near plan limit, used feature X but not Y, paid but never invited. Build segments from events you already track. ### Do I need another email tool for cross-sell & upsell? No. Ranla is the email platform: automations, audiences, transactional mail, and a built-in agent. Measure expansion, not opens. Attribute upgrades and expansion to the campaign against people who got nothing. ## FAQ - Solutions · SaaS Source: https://ranla.ai/solutions/saas ### How does Ranla help with saas? Ranla is the email platform for PLG SaaS teams who already think in activation, retention, and expansion: automations and audiences from product behavior, with a built-in agent. ### What does Ranla do for saas teams? Wire analytics or merge a PR. Connect PostHog, Amplitude, or Mixpanel, or open a GitHub PR. Same on-ramp either way. ### Do I need another email tool for saas? No. Ranla is the email platform: automations, audiences, transactional mail, and a built-in agent. Automations, audiences, analytics, agent. Automations, audiences, analytics, and a built-in agent, with holdouts and Slack approve. ## FAQ - Solutions · SMB / mid-market Source: https://ranla.ai/solutions/smb-mid-market ### How does Ranla help with smb / mid-market? Ranla is built for small-to-mid teams who want full lifecycle automations without an enterprise procurement cycle. Start free. Pay on engaged users. ### What does Ranla do for smb / mid-market teams? Start free. No demo required. Self-serve signup. No “Book a demo” gate. You can be sending the same week. ### Do I need another email tool for smb / mid-market? No. Ranla is the email platform: automations, audiences, transactional mail, and a built-in agent. Engaged users from $99. Quiet profiles should not dominate the bill. Pricing tracks people who actually engage. ## FAQ - Solutions · Startups Source: https://ranla.ai/solutions/startups ### How does Ranla help with startups? Early teams need activation and retention mail before they can staff a lifecycle function. Ranla is the email platform. The agent drafts, you approve. ### What does Ranla do for startups teams? From events to a first campaign. Connect product analytics (or merge a tracking PR), pick a segment, let the agent draft, approve, send. ### Do I need another email tool for startups? No. Ranla is the email platform: automations, audiences, transactional mail, and a built-in agent. Holdouts from day one. Build the habit of measuring lift before you scale spend on messaging. ## FAQ - Solutions · Marketing Source: https://ranla.ai/solutions/marketing ### How does Ranla help with marketing? Ranla gives marketers automations and audiences they already understand, plus an agent that proposes work and waits for approval in Slack or the app. ### What does Ranla do for marketing teams? Campaign → automation. Prove one-off campaigns, then promote winners to always-on. Same segments, shared frequency caps. ### Do I need another email tool for marketing? No. Ranla is the email platform: automations, audiences, transactional mail, and a built-in agent. Draft and propose, you decide. Modes from Draft to Autopilot. Slack when you want approvals without opening another tab. ## FAQ - Solutions · Product Source: https://ranla.ai/solutions/product ### How does Ranla help with product? Product already owns the events. Ranla turns those events into lifecycle automations without a second source of truth, and measures whether messages helped activation. ### What does Ranla do for product teams? Use the analytics you have. PostHog, Amplitude, Mixpanel, or a GitHub PR if you want tracking changes reviewed like code. ### Do I need another email tool for product? No. Ranla is the email platform: automations, audiences, transactional mail, and a built-in agent. Holdouts as product discipline. Treat messaging like a feature flag: ship with a control, read lift, keep what works. ## FAQ - Solutions · Engineering Source: https://ranla.ai/solutions/engineering ### How does Ranla help with engineering? Ranla is built so engineering is not the email desk. Connect a repo and the agent installs tracking with a pull request you review. Call the API, drop in an SDK, or brief over MCP when you want the editor. Same suppression list for transactional and lifecycle. ### What does Ranla do for engineering teams? Scan, instrument, open a PR. Connect the repo. The agent reads the codebase, wires the events audiences and automations need, and opens a pull request. It can also recommend missing events and write those next. You merge. ### Do I need another email tool for engineering? No. Ranla is the email platform: automations, audiences, transactional mail, and a built-in agent. Send from code, not a second console. REST at api.ranla.ai. Official packages (@ranla/node, CLI, framework helpers) so password resets and lifecycle triggers share one domain and one suppression list. ## FAQ - Integrations Source: https://ranla.ai/integrations ### What does Ranla connect to? GitHub for codebase instrumentation; PostHog, Amplitude, or Mixpanel for product events; Stripe for revenue; Slack as a teammate; Twilio for SMS in automations. ### Do I have to change my codebase? No. Analytics connect is enough if you already track usage. GitHub is the path when you want Ranla to recommend and wire events via a pull request you merge. ### Who pays for SMS? You. SMS steps run through your Twilio account. Twilio bills you; Ranla triggers the step inside automations. ## FAQ - Pricing Source: https://ranla.ai/pricing ### How is Ranla priced? Start sending for free. Paid plans start at $99/mo on people engaged in the last 90 days (product use or email open/click), not raw list size. Emails included; overage past your plan. SMS via your Twilio account. ### What counts as engaged? Someone who used your product in the last 90 days, or opened or clicked an email you sent in that window. Import count and stored contacts do not set the price. ### Can I send without a paid plan? Transactional email via the API on Free, up to plan limits. Lifecycle campaigns and the agent require hiring Ranla. See the pricing table for included emails and overage. ## FAQ - Learn Source: https://ranla.ai/learn ### What is on Ranla Learn? Guides for PLG teams that already have signups: lifecycle email, onboarding sequences, onboarding examples, and win-back email. ### Is Learn product docs? Learn teaches the job. Product docs live at docs.ranla.ai. The product is Ranla. Start free when you are ready to send. ## FAQ - Learn · Lifecycle email for signups you already have Source: https://ranla.ai/learn/lifecycle-email ### When should the first email go out? Same day or next morning after signup, if they have not activated. Name the step they stopped on. A welcome that lists features is not that email. ### How do I know it worked? Hold out a slice of the same audience and compare activation or paid conversion. Opens do not tell you whether the product got used. ### Is this the same as ecommerce lifecycle email? No. Cart and browse abandon are a different event model. This page is for products people create an account for. ### Will this send without asking? It should not. Draft the mail, show it, and wait for approval on any large audience. ## FAQ - Learn · Onboarding email sequence for signups who never activated Source: https://ranla.ai/learn/onboarding-email-sequence ### How many emails? Four, then stop, unless they already activated and the rest cancelled. Simple products can run fewer. ### Calendar or events? Events. Calendar timing is only a fallback while activation is still missing. ### Is a welcome email an onboarding sequence? No. Welcome celebrates the signup. Onboarding moves a stalled account to first value. ### Do I need a holdout? Yes, if you want to know whether the sequence caused activation. Opens will look fine either way. ### Will this send without asking? It should not. Draft, show it, wait for approval. ## FAQ - Learn · Onboarding email examples for users after signup Source: https://ranla.ai/learn/onboarding-email-examples ### Can I copy these as-is? Copy the shape. You still need your own events and a definition of activation for your product. ### Are these for employees? No. Product users after signup. New-hire templates will rank for “onboarding email” and they are the wrong job. ## FAQ - Learn · Win-back email for SaaS users who already left Source: https://ranla.ai/learn/win-back-email ### How many emails? One, two max, then stop. If they do not come back, suppress. ### Is quiet the same as win-back? No. Quiet with an open account is retention on the lifecycle hub. Win-back is after they left. ### Never activated? That is onboarding, not win-back. Send until they activate, then stop. Do not put them on a win-back coupon. ### Will this send without asking? It should not. Draft, show it, wait for approval. ## FAQ - Changelog Source: https://ranla.ai/changelog ### Where does Ranla publish product updates? On this changelog page for customer-visible ships. It is the public record of what changed in the product. ## FAQ - Repo audit Source: https://ranla.ai/audit ### What is the Ranla repo audit? A path to see how Ranla would read your product and recommend events before you fully set up. Connect a repo or start free to go further. ### Does the audit push code? No. Instrumentation opens a pull request you review and merge. Nothing ships to your default branch unreviewed.
