What it shows

  • Contextualize push prompts after showing value to double opt-in rates.
  • Defer registration until users experience an initial core product action.
  • Limit day-one onboarding to three micro-actions to reduce cognitive load.

Never ask for device permissions or registration before demonstrating clear product value.
