2 mins read
Updated:

Chat notification settings allow agents to personalize how and when they receive alerts based on their activity and role in a conversation. This guide explains each notification setting to help users configure their push alerts according to their needs.

Supported notification types

For each setting, you can choose to enable or disable the following notification channels:

  • Email notifications
  • Browser notifications
  • In-app notifications
  • Mobile app push notifications

How chat notifications are triggered

You will receive chat notifications based on the following chat events:

  • New replies and notes while offline - When a message is received while the agent or the customer is offline
  • You’re mentioned in a chat - When another agent mentions you in a chat conversation
  • New conversation starts - When a message or private note initiates a new conversation
  • Conversation assigned to you - When a conversation is directly assigned to you
  • Conversation assigned to your group - When a chat conversation is assigned to your agent group
  • New replies in your conversation - When a customer sends a message in a conversation assigned to you
  • New private notes in your conversation - When a private note is added to a conversation assigned to you
  • New replies and notes in unassigned conversation - When customer messages or notes are received in a conversation with no assigned agent

The table below explains who receives notifications for each chat event and through which channels:

Notification event Recipients Notification channels
New conversation starts All global agents (if unassigned), or assigned group Mobile, in-app, browser
Conversation assigned to me Both previous and new assignee Mobile, in-app, browser
Conversation assigned to my group Members of previous and new group Mobile, in-app, browser
I’m mentioned in a chat Mentioned agents Mobile, in-app, browser, email
New replies and notes while offline Assigned agent, customer Email
New replies in my conversation Assigned agent (primary), else assigned group Mobile, in-app, browser
New private notes in my conversation Assigned agent (primary), else assigned group Mobile, in-app, browser

Note: If a conversation is assigned to a chatbot, the ‘New conversation starts’ notification will be sent for all global agents when the first message is received.
