Courier-React-Wizard-App - Magic Transactional Emails with Courier

Welcome to the Magic Transaction Emails app! This project allows users to send magical, transactional emails using Courier, a powerful platform for building and sending notifications.

This app presents a spellbook interface where each spell corresponds to a different type of transactional email that can be sent.
