How do notifications and headlines work best for breaking news?

Use smart notification rules and clear headlines

Notifications should alert you to critical changes while minimizing interruptions. Clear headlines enable quick triage.

Optimization tips:

  • Use severity tiers to control what triggers a notification.
  • Include a one-line headline and a two-sentence summary in push alerts.
  • Add a source badge so you can weigh credibility at a glance.
  • Allow quick actions in notifications like save, share, or mute.

These elements let you act quickly without opening full articles for every alert.
