# Toast Notification

Toast Notification is a SaaS platform that lets MSPs (managed service providers)
and IT departments send rich, branded Windows toast notifications to managed
endpoints at scale.

Live at: https://toastnotification.com

## What it is

A signed Windows agent + multi-tenant API + admin dashboard. The agent installs
on each managed endpoint via signed MSI or Microsoft Store MSIX. The admin
dashboard lets administrators design notifications using six curated templates
(Announcement, Alert, Action Required, Reminder, Celebration, Maintenance) and
send them to any target — a single device, a device group, or every endpoint
in a tenant. Delivery and interaction are tracked end-to-end. Audit logs
export to CSV or PDF.

## Who it is for

Managed service providers (MSPs), internal IT departments, and any organization
that needs to reach Windows endpoints with branded, trackable notifications
instead of ad-hoc PowerShell or RMM-bundled alert APIs.

## How MSPs deploy it

Three documented deployment paths:

1. Microsoft Store — install via Store, register tenant via MSI properties or
   environment variables. Best for individual users and BYOD endpoints.
   Guide: https://toastnotification.com/docs/deploy/store

2. Intune LOB — upload the signed MSIX as a Line-of-Business app. Best for
   MDM-managed corporate endpoints.
   Guide: https://toastnotification.com/docs/deploy/intune

3. RMM silent install — `msiexec /i ToastNotification.Agent.msi /qn
   CLIENTID=<tenant-guid> SERVERURL=https://toastnotification.com`. Compatible
   with NinjaOne, Datto, ConnectWise Automate, Atera, and other RMMs that
   support silent MSI installation.

## What it costs

One plan. $0.22 per device per month. 100-device subscription minimum
($22/month entry price). 14-day free trial. No tiers, no upsells, no premium
features held back.

Indicative monthly cost by fleet size:
-   100 devices: $22
-   300 devices: $66
- 1,000 devices: $220
- 5,000 devices: $1,100

Mid-month device additions or removals adjust the next invoice. Canceled
billing blocks new device registrations; existing deliveries continue until
the period ends.

## Technical architecture

- Windows Agent: .NET 8, Windows App SDK 1.7, signed with Sectigo OV cert,
  auto-updates via Velopack outside the Microsoft Store channel.
- Backend API: ASP.NET Core 8, EF Core 8, PostgreSQL 16, SignalR for
  real-time push to agents, Stripe.net for billing.
- Admin Dashboard: React 18, Vite 6, TypeScript.
- Hosting: AWS Lightsail, two-box (web + database) topology, Let's Encrypt
  TLS, single us-east-1 region.

## Security

- Multi-tenant data isolation enforced at the EF Core query-filter level on
  every read.
- Per-tenant HMAC-SHA256 payload signing on every notification. Agents
  reject any payload that fails verification.
- JWT authentication for both administrators and devices. Device tokens
  are tenant-scoped and revocable.
- TOTP MFA enforced on broadcast (TargetType=All) sends.
- Azure Content Safety scans every notification's text and hero image
  before fan-out.
- Tenant-configurable blocklists for content filtering.
- Audit log of every send, registration, decommission, and admin action,
  exportable to CSV or PDF.

## Who built it

Toast Notification was designed and built by an AI-native development team
coordinated through DocPro, an AI development platform. The team — Carl
(architect), Anthony (backend), Diana (design), Abish (QA) — operates as
four specialist team members with persistent memory across sessions. Every
commit passes a seven-step Code Sweep before merge. The product is real,
the code is human-reviewed, and the engineering process is documented end
to end.
