How to configure a notification for an event type
When you want to be notified about a specific event (for example, a new ticket or an SLA breach), configure that notification type and choose delivery channels.
When it is useful
- You want instant alerts for new tickets.
- You need notifications for critical events (SLA, CSAT).
- You want to control which events notify you.
What to know
- A notification type is a specific system event (for example, “Ticket created”, “SLA breached”).
- Delivery channels are how you receive notifications: bell, banner (toast), sound (when enabled on the Channels tab), browser (push), and bot channels (email, Telegram, Viber, and so on — if your administrator enabled them).
- Categories group types in the UI (for example, creation/messages, changes, CSAT, SLA, normatives). See the full list in the Notification Center reference.
- The full screen with event types is available only when the Notification Center is enabled on the instance; otherwise the profile shows a simplified screen without NC type selection.
- Some rows (including part of CSAT/SLA/normatives) may be view-only until the administrator enables extended type settings on the instance.
Before you start
- You are logged in.
- The Notification Center is enabled on the instance (otherwise this guide does not apply — only simplified profile alerts remain).
- You can open Profile → Notifications.
Steps
1. Open notification settings
Go to Profile → Notifications.
Or user menu → Settings → Notifications.
2. Open the “Notification types” tab
You will see notification types grouped by category.
3. Find the type you need
Use search or scroll to the category.
For example, for new tickets open Creation → Ticket created.
4. Turn the notification on
Set the Enabled toggle to on.
5. Choose delivery channels
Select channels you want (only those enabled on the Channels tab or set as mandatory by an administrator appear):
- Bell notifications — in the header bell (usually always available)
- Banner notifications — toast pop-ups
- Sound notifications — when sound is on on Channels; you can pick a melody per type
- Browser notifications — system / push (browser permission and subscription if using push)
- Bot channels — Telegram, Viber, WhatsApp, eChat, email, custom channel, and so on — only if an administrator configured the bot and channel; email usually needs a profile address and linking in the bot channel block
Note: If a channel is not connected or not configured on the instance, it may be missing from the list or will not deliver — check on-screen hints and with your administrator.
6. Save
Click Save at the top of the profile page (changes apply after save).
Result
After saving, you receive notifications for the selected event through the selected channels.
For example, if you set Ticket created with Bell + Banner, when a new ticket is created you get:
- A notification in the bell
- A banner in the top-right corner
Verification
To verify:
- Create a test ticket (or ask a colleague to create one).
- Confirm the notification arrives on the selected channels.
Or use channel testing — see How to test a channel.
