Using email as a notification service works in this case. The user probably gets a notification for new emails.. at least if they do they chose to. :)

- scarface74 8y agoEmail delivery has its own set of problems - mostly spam filters. Even when the email does reach the end user, most people get so many emails it’s easy to get lost in the noise.
- reaperducer 8y agoUsing notifications to bypass spam filters speaks to the quality of the notifications you're sending. If your e-mail is important, people will find it. If your e-mail gets lost in the noise, then notification is probably not essential.
- scarface74 8y agoGetting caught in spam filters has little to do with whether the email is legitimate - just whether it is seen as a bulk email.
- cschep 8y agoIt does have issues when it comes to getting users to do something they don't want to do, but it is more than good enough to communicate with users about something they actively want to do. I have no interest in the former.
