As a Roblox developer, it is currently impossible to notify players about certain events in the game they would be interested in. (For example: a player has gotten a rare chest, though they needed to wait a period of time to unlock it)
If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would help increase player retention and allow players to ask the game to let them know when a certain event has happened.
My use case (and a way better explanation)
In a game where I am tasked to build buildings, every building takes time to finish, once construction has started, I must wait a few hours to finish it, I obviously can’t stay in the game for that long but would very much appreciate a reminder, so the game being so helpful asks me if I would like to set a reminder after the building is done.
A few hours has passed and my building is done, I am browsing the Roblox website and all the sudden I get a notification in my notification stream. “Hey there Dev0mar, you’re white house is all built and ready for you to move in!” Aww yea lets go and play the game!
Notes
I do realize Roblox already has a NotificationService, however it is restricted by RobloxSecurity and is only for mobile devices, this is not what I’m talking about… this would be for ALL devices and would be toggle’d by players if they’d like to receive notifications or not.
