Sound notifications let you hear when a new chat or message arrives, even when the Smartsupp dashboard isn't in the foreground. This article shows how to turn them on in Smartsupp and how to allow sound in your browser and system.
We've broken the article into a few sections:
Enable notifications in Smartsupp settings
To enable sound notifications, just go to the Notifications(1) and enable the Sound notifications(2). Do not forget to save the settings(3).
Warning: If the main switch for sound notifications is disabled then all sound notifications are disabled too.
There is also an option to receive notifications when you are offline.
Warning: New visitor sound notification works only if the agent has the Visitors tab opened.
