How it works
Recommend a channel per notification
High-urgency, low-frequency notifications are recommended for push/email; low-urgency, high-frequency ones are recommended for in-app only or a digest, never push.
Flag overload risk
Notifications combining low urgency with high frequency are flagged as the most likely cause of users disabling notifications altogether.
Frequently asked questions
How many notifications per week is too many?
There's no universal number, but once low-urgency notifications alone exceed roughly 10-15/week, disable-all risk rises sharply — the tool flags this threshold explicitly.
Should every notification go to push?
No — push should be reserved for high-urgency, time-sensitive items. Overusing push for low-urgency updates is the single biggest cause of users disabling notifications system-wide.
What's a digest and when should I use one?
A digest batches several low-urgency notifications into one periodic summary (e.g. weekly). It's recommended whenever a notification type is both low-urgency and high-frequency.
How is this different from ModalGuard?
NotificationUX designs the notification strategy across in-app/email/push channels; ModalGuard specifically detects overuse of interrupting modal dialogs within the product UI.
