ExperienceNotificationService:CanPromptOptInAsync

CanPromptOptInAsync() returns true if the local player can be prompted to enable notifications. You should always use the result of this method before calling PromptOptIn() since the ability to be prompted depends on various factors like the player's age or whether they've already enabled notifications for your experience.

This method always infers the local player (Players.LocalPlayer) and it can only be called from a LocalScript or from a Script with RunContext set to Client. It should also be called in a pcall() since it's an asynchronous network call that may occasionally fail.

See Experience notifications for more details on implementing and customizing notifications, using launch data, and more.
