Notification Framework
From notification chaos to a coherent system for communicating with users across severity levels and contexts
The Problem
Notification overload, no coherence
Dayforce had notifications everywhere. Success messages. Error alerts. System updates. Warnings. Confirmations. Every team implemented their own, creating a cacophony of competing attention-grabbers. We had components—toasts, banners—but no framework for when to use what.
Solution
A coherent notification framework
Toast
Temporary feedback
Auto-dismisses after 4-6 seconds. For confirmations and low-severity updates.
Banner
Persistent messaging
Stays visible until dismissed. For warnings, errors, and system-level updates.
