Question
Can I receive desktop or browser notifications when tickets are created or updated?
Answer
Zendesk does not natively support desktop or browser notifications when tickets are created or updated. Instead, notifications can be sent out through email using triggers. An example of such a trigger is the default Notify assignee of comment update trigger, which is detailed in our article About the Support default triggers.
While there is no native way to receive desktop or browser notifications when tickets are created or updated, some third-party apps in our marketplace can provide this functionality. One example of those apps is Notify.

I would also like to have this available as a native feature in Zendesk. When things are very busy, I get bombarded with so many emails about Zendesk tickets that the notifications I actually want to see often get lost. This can sometimes lead to delays in getting back to folks about time-sensitive issues if I do not see a pending ticket reappear as "open" soon enough. If I could get a notification as soon as a pending or solved ticket reappears in My Open Tickets, it would be very helpful.
Hello Lindsay Crouch,
Really appreciate you sharing your use case with us, and I'll be sure to pass this along to our product team. I would still recommend posting your request on our product feedback forum so other users can vote on your suggestion and where our product team responds to user requests.
Best regards.
Hi Devan - Community Manager,
Thanks for clarifying that. I thought this was the feedback forum, but I see now that when I searched to see if anyone else had already posted this issue, I ended up in the Support section instead of Community. I'll repost in the product feedback forum now.
