How to Test Connect Notifications

Overview

Connect has 3 types of conversations: 1-on-1's, Rooms, and Group Conversations. The rules for are different for displaying notifications for each conversation type.

Connect mobile clients have an APP-level preference that enables/disables message previews on the lock screen. This preference is enabled by default (which means that the contents of the message will be visible on the notification itself). But this can be disabled, and the notification displays placeholder text (like "Greg mentioned you in Rebel Alliance").

Conversation Types

1-on-1 and Group Conversations are straight forward. The notifications should always be displayed to the user, and the "is Connecting with you" style text always remains the same for each conversation type.

Note: if notification previews are enabled, then the notification should display the contents of the message.

1-on-1 conversations

  ✅ Should display the message with the text 'Nitro is Connecting with you'

Group conversations

  ✅ Should display the notification with the text 'Nitro wrote a message in Rebel Alliance'

Rooms

Notifications for rooms have more complex rules. Users can select a per-room notification preference (e.g. only display notifications where I am mentioned, and ignore notifications that contain @all mentions, mention someone else, or have no mentions at all).

The following shows every possible scenario of notifications, and the expected contents of the notification.

Again, if notification previews are enabled, then the notification should display the contents of the message instead of the "Greg is Connecting with you" style text.
