Manual Notifications
Manual Notifications refer to a development practice where notifications or alerts are triggered and managed manually by developers or users, rather than being automated through code or systems. This involves sending alerts, updates, or messages via direct actions like emails, chat messages, or dashboard updates without automated triggers. It is often used in contexts where automation is impractical, such as in early-stage testing, small-scale operations, or for critical human-in-the-loop decisions.
Developers should learn and use Manual Notifications in scenarios where automation is too complex, costly, or risky, such as during debugging, user acceptance testing, or in low-volume applications where manual oversight is sufficient. It is also valuable for ensuring human control over critical alerts, like security breaches or system failures, where automated responses might be inappropriate. This methodology helps in understanding notification workflows before implementing automation, reducing errors and improving system design.
