Bundle instead of spam toasts
bundle-instead-of-spam-toasts
Bundle instead of spam — e.g. four uploads → one toast, not four. Be mindful of frequency even though toasts are weaker than dialogs.
Description
Bundle related events into one toast instead of spamming—for example four uploads become one toast, not four. Stay mindful of frequency even though toasts are weaker than dialogs. Pass when related events share one bundled toast. Fail when each related event in a burst fires its own toast and floods the surface with stacked notifications.
When to use
Announcing bursts of related events such as multiple uploads.
Not when
One toast per related event in a rapid burst.
Agent hint
Bundle related events into one toast; avoid one toast per event in a burst.
Related events (e.g. four uploads) are one bundled toast.
One toast per related event in a burst.
