Overview

Transforming "noise" to notifications

Our notifications system was overwhelming users with irrelevant alerts, leading to disengagement and notification fatigue. The majority of users disabled notifications altogether, increasing the risk of missed updates, frustration and even churn.

I led the redesign the notification experience to be role-based, ensuring users only received relevant updates. This involved:

  • Defining role-specific notification preferences.

  • Auditing existing notification patterns to remove redundant or low-value alerts.

  • Introducing smart defaults to reduce setup friction and improve adoption.

Outcome

  • 47% of previously disengaged users re-enabled notifications, improving engagement.

  • Reduced frustration and churn risk by ensuring users received only relevant, actionable updates.
