# Novu Platform - Open-Source Notification Infrastructure

> Send in-app, email, SMS, push, and chat notifications from one API. Workflows, Inbox component, and 60+ providers.

Novu is the open-source notification infrastructure for sending, receiving, and tracking notifications across in-app, email, SMS, push, and chat channels. Use [workflows](/platform/concepts/workflows) to orchestrate delivery, the [Inbox component](/platform/inbox) for real-time in-app notifications, and [60+ provider integrations](/platform/integrations) for external channels.

New to Novu? Start with [What is Novu?](/platform/what-is-novu) or add the Inbox to your app with the [Next.js quickstart](/platform/quickstart/nextjs).
