The Notifications Team is building Roblox's next generation notifications platform to allow our teams and developers to easily build respectful and helpful notification experiences for our users.
These notifications include Push, In-App/In-Experience, Messages, Email, and SMS - basically any way a user is contacted both on-platform and off-platform. The mission of our team is to connect the right user, to the right content, at the right time. Whether it's a new update from a user's favorite experience, or a friend invitation to co-play, we make sure that the notifications that are being delivered are what the user wants to see, and when they should receive it.
We are also building what we call our Core Pipeline, making sure that we can deliver notifications of all types to our users. Soon we'll add more functionality such as scheduling and ranking (using ML models) to make sure that the right users are getting the right notifications and using advanced AI for personalized notifications and to combat spam!
