Location-triggered notifications

Notifications with a reason to arrive

A useful notification feels like help, not interruption. Plan the place, timing, audience, and action together so the message earns its moment.

Make proximity meaningful

A signal is only valuable when it changes what a person can do now. Start with the decision the notification supports, then work backwards to the minimum context required.

Tie every message to a next action
Use a small set of meaningful zones
Set clear expiration and quiet periods

Respect attention and consent

People should understand why a message appears and how to control it. Good notification planning includes preference, fallback, and accessibility decisions from the beginning.

Measure usefulness, not volume

Evaluate whether the message helped someone complete a task or discover something relevant. Delivery alone is not the experience.
