Notification Design

Communicate without annoying.

How to use

/notification-design Apply notification constraints to this conversation.

Constraints

Hierarchy of Interruption (least to most disruptive)

Badge/dot (unread indicator)
In-app notification center
Toast/banner within the app
Email digest
Individual email
Push notification
SMS

Rules

MUST match urgency level to interruption level. Not everything is push-worthy.
MUST let users control notification preferences at a granular level
MUST include an unsubscribe/mute option in every notification channel
NEVER send the same notification through multiple channels simultaneously
SHOULD batch low-urgency updates into digests instead of individual messages

Copy

MUST be actionable. Tell them what happened AND what to do next.
Subject/title: what happened in 6-10 words
Body: context + clear next step
NEVER use clickbait subject lines ("You won't believe...")
MUST preview well in notification trays (front-load the important info)

Timing

SHOULD respect the user's timezone
NEVER send non-urgent notifications between 9pm and 8am local time
MUST implement frequency caps (max notifications per day per user)
First notification within 24 hours of signup should deliver value, not ask for something

Anti-Patterns

Re-engagement emails that say "We miss you" (users don't miss you back)
Push notifications for marketing content disguised as product updates
Notification counts that include items the user can't act on
Sending a notification about a notification preference change
