Shipping Slack's Customize Notifications Modal 🔔

Shipped a new Customize Notifications modal for Slack that lets users visualize and personalize channel notifications — high-impact, highly collaborative work that affects millions of Slack users daily.

Shipped something I'm really proud of: a new Customize Notifications modal for Slack, now live for all users.

The feature lets you visualize and personalize your channel notifications so the conversations that matter most actually stand out. It's part of a broader effort to reduce notification noise and make Slack's notification system more intuitive and accessible.

Built in collaboration with Celia Hunko on Slack's Sidebar Systems team — the kind of high-impact, highly collaborative work that's at its best when the whole team is aligned on both the user problem and the implementation details.

Shipping something that touches millions of Slack users daily never gets old. Notifications are deeply personal — how you configure them shapes how you experience work. Getting that right matters.

How Slack Rebuilt Notifications 📣

How Slack Rebuilt Notifications 📣

Slack completely redesigned its notification system to address user overwhelm, migrating from four conflicting preference models to a unified system with three clear options. This architectural overhaul separated notification content from delivery method, giving users independent control over what activities trigger notifications and which devices receive push alerts.
