Receiving Desktop Notifications for Zendesk Tickets

Learn how to receive desktop notifications for Zendesk tickets based on your account setup and available third-party apps.

Can I receive desktop notifications for Zendesk tickets?

Yes, you can receive desktop notifications for Zendesk tickets, but it depends on your account setup. If you have the Zendesk Agent Workspace with social or web messaging channels enabled, you can use the notifications list to see unread messaging tickets. When the ticket tab is closed, message notifications are available through the notification list. If the ticket tab is open but not in focus, desktop browser notifications configured for Chat will appear. For live chat users, there are customizable notification options. However, if you're using the standard agent interface, Zendesk doesn't natively support desktop notifications for ticket updates. Instead, notifications are sent via email using triggers, like the default 'Notify assignee of comment update' trigger. Alternatively, you can explore third-party apps in the Zendesk Marketplace for additional notification features.
