Troubleshooting Notification Issues in Zendesk

Discover why you might not be receiving notifications in Zendesk and how to ensure your messaging channels are correctly set up.

Why am I not receiving notifications in Zendesk?

If you're not receiving notifications in Zendesk, it could be due to the type of messaging channels enabled. The notifications list only supports social and web messaging channels, not the Classic Widget.

Ensure that your account has the necessary channels enabled. If you have multiple brands, each must have web messaging enabled to receive notifications. For further assistance, consider reaching out to Zendesk support.
