Email Notifications

The Trade-off

FeatureBin offers a simple solution for basic public boards. If that's all you need, it might work.

But for our workflows, some critical features were missing. Custom branding, community voting, custom forms, file attachments, email notifications, and the ability to reply from Linear. OpenIssue provides all of these with a 14-day free trial to get started.
