Notification permissions

How to write it

  1. Headings: [1-3 words that name the notification]
  2. Explainer text: Finish the sentence “These notifications will help you to …”

 

Dos & Don'ts

  • Keep headlines short – context should be able to be conveyed in as fewer words as possible
  • Start explainer text with a verb to denote action
  • Use simple phrases “Allow all notifications” “Meter readings reminder”
  • Be specific. Help customers understand exactly what they’re getting
  • Use explainer text to show why these messages are valuable to the customer
  • Don’t oversell what the notifications are
  • Don’t use “notifications” in the notification names
  • Avoid pronouns like “your” or “my”
