Notifications: keep users and yourself informed

Notifications let your app reach people at the right moment, by email, in the app, or through other channels.

A notification is a message your app sends when something happens, like a new order, a reminder, or a status change. Good notifications bring people back and keep them informed without being noisy.

Common things to notify about

• A new signup, order, or form submission for you as the owner.
• A confirmation or receipt for the user who took the action.
• A reminder before a due date or an appointment.
• An alert when something needs review or approval.

Send less, but better: People ignore apps that notify too much. Send messages that are useful and timed well, and let users control what they receive.
