Notifications North Star, sponsored by Courier!

Questions:

  • What is the primary goal for someone in your role, which you mention required you to be sending millions of emails a day?
  • So there was a viral HackerNews thread recently, titled "I only like the important notifications, not promotional ones." What does this mean to someone who advises to send promotional messaging for a living?
  • Should we stop sending promotional messages?
  • In the world of messaging, what would the perfect world look like? Do we need to go to detailed preferences for all?
  • As applications evolve and become more complex, notifications become a secondary UX layer that often lives on users devices. How do we keep users from opting out of this critical user experience?
  • What impresses you about Courier, and how they are approaching notifications as a UX layer?
