Sendra is a deployment monitor for @appwrite **Sites** built with **Next.js** and deployed on **Vercel**.
Appwrite doesn’t send failure alerts like Vercel does, so Sendra fills that gap monitoring your deployments every 5 minutes and sending instant emails via @resend when something goes wrong.
Perfect for keeping track of failed deployments without spam, with a simple dashboard and clickable links to your projects.
- **What it does**
→ Checks your Appwrite deployments every 5 mins
→ Sends email alerts only when new deployments fail
→ No spam for old issues
→ Simple dashboard to see deployment status
Basically like Vercel deployment emails… but for Appwrite!
- **Key Features:**
→ Secure GitHub Authentication - Login with your GitHub account
→ Real-time Dashboard - View your latest deployment status at a glance
→ Automated Monitoring - Checks deployments every 5 minutes via cron jobs
→ Smart Email Alerts - Only sends emails for NEW failed deployments (no spam!)
→ Encrypted API Keys - Your Appwrite credentials are safely encrypted
→ Instant Setup - Just add your Project ID, API Key, Project Region and email
- **How :appwrite: Appwrite helps:**
→ Database stores deployment history + your settings
→ Functions run every 5 mins to check new deployments
→ Only triggers emails for genuinely new failures
Super lightweight, but works reliably.
- **How Resend fits in:**
→ Production: uses Resend API directly
→ Hackathon: local server with Resend MCP
→ Sends clean, instant email notifications
→ Perfect match for the monitoring workflow
- **Tech Stack:**
→ Frontend: Next.js, Material UI, TypeScript
→ Backend: Appwrite Functions & Database
→ Authentication: GitHub OAuth
→ Email Service: Resend API
→ Deployment: Vercel
→ Security: Base64 encryption for API keys

Wrote a full blog about **Sendra** 🌱
How I spotted the gap between Appwrite Sites & Vercel deployments, and turned it into my #ResendMCPHackathon project with @appwrite + @resend.

**🪴 Sendra - Major Updates!**
Hi everyone! Quick update on Sendra - a lot has been improved since the first version 👇
→ Before, you could only see 5 deployments… now you can see **all deployments**.
→ Not just Sites - you can now monitor **Functions too**, and filter deployments by function name.
→ **Filter deployments** by total / success / failed with clickable buttons.
→ **Link to Console** for each deployment - check logs instantly.
→ **API keys are now encrypted** for extra security.
→ **AI-powered log analysis** suggests fixes (powered by Vercel AI SDK + Google AI Studio).
Huge thanks to **one of the core Appwrite team members** for the valuable feedback that helped improve Sendra 🙏
These are the **major updates**, other small improvements you’ll notice while using it 😉

**🚀 New Feature: Sendra Inbound Commands**
Hey everyone! I just added a powerful new workflow to **Sendra** — fully powered by **Appwrite Functions**, **Resend Inbound**, and the **Vercel AI SDK**.
You can now *talk to Sendra directly from your email inbox*.
### 💡 How it works
When a deployment fails, Sendra sends you an email. You can reply with:
```
/overview → Project summary
/failed → Recent failed deployments
/help → All commands
```
Sendra processes the reply using:
**Resend Inbound → Next.js API → Appwrite Function**
Then emails you back instantly with the requested information. ⚡️
Built with: **Appwrite + Resend + Vercel + AISDK**
Try Sendra: https://sendra.vercel.app
Would love your feedback and suggestions! 🙂
