About User
What is User?
User (formerly Positive User) is a marketing automation and customer engagement platform that combines email marketing, SMS, WhatsApp, web push, and mobile wallet messaging into one tool. It helps businesses from first newsletter to complex customer journeys, all powered by AI.
