If you want delivery logs in a Next.js app without building the whole logging pipeline yourself, the simplest path is usually to use a third-party email/SMS/push provider that already exposes event logs, webhooks, and dashboards.
Good options
For email delivery logs
- Resend – very Next.js-friendly, simple API, dashboard shows delivered/bounced/opened events.
- Postmark – excellent delivery tracking and message streams/logs.
- SendGrid – robust event webhooks and logs, but can feel heavier.
- Mailgun – good event logging and domain analytics.
For SMS/phone logs
- Twilio – message status logs, delivery callbacks, full console history.
For push notifications
- OneSignal – delivery tracking and analytics built in.
Typical setup in Next.js
- Send messages through the provider’s SDK/API.
- Configure webhooks for delivery events.
- Store only the events you care about in your DB if you need app-specific history.
- Use the provider dashboard for detailed logs.
Easiest recommendation
If you’re sending email from Next.js, I’d start with:
- Resend if you want simple integration and modern DX
- Postmark if you care most about reliable logs and delivery tracking
Example: logs via webhook
In Next.js, you’d usually create an API route like:
app/api/webhooks/resend/route.ts- or
pages/api/webhooks/...
That route receives events like:
- delivered
- bounced
- complained
- opened
- clicked
Then you can display them in your app later.
If you want, I can recommend the best provider for your exact use case and show a Next.js webhook example.
