Support for Push Notifications

Title: Support for Push Notifications

  1. What is your original issue/pain point you want to solve?
    We’re a small team and don’t have a dedicated support-department, so the web interface isn’t opened most time of the day. Zammad already supports notifications (which are already pushed when the web interface is currently opened) and manually deleting e-mails after every response to a ticket is way of pain and annoying time-waste for us.
  2. Which are one or two concrete situations where this problem hurts the most?
    We’re working on projects away from a computer or on the PC but in other programs when a ticket comes in. The web interface isn’t currently opened, so there is no visible notification for the ticket.
  3. Why is it not solvable with the Zammad standard?
    Zammad does not support kind of push notifications via PWA/Service Workers that would be delivererd in case the browser is at least running in backround. This would also pop up on our mobile phones when working on a customer’s site without a notebook and speeds up first response times.
    Sine E-Mail do not track the read-status of notifications and tickets, we cannot use notifications via E-Mail in an efficient way.
  4. What is your expectation/what do you want to achieve?
    We need to inform our employees using notifications on their mobile phones and notebooks without forcing them to keep the web interface opened in a foreground tab for the whole day.

If there is any more useful information, feel free to share it all (e.g.: mockup screenshots, if something is UI related, or the API URL/documentation URL for a service you need a connection to).

Your Zammad environment:

  • Average concurrent agent count: 2
  • Average tickets a day: 4
  • What roles/people are involved: Agents, Admins

Anything else which you think is useful to understand your use case:
All of our supporting employees or receptionist are busy working on their main topics, but might need to respond to the few tickets, that come in every day.

Thank you.

Welcome, @Mutec

Its not what you are asking for, but this could be helpful stop gap. I have the same issue you are requesting, to solve my issue I use a third party Pushover (https://pushover.net/), then with use of a couple of triggers Zammad sends a webhook over to Pushover to sends ticket notifications to my phone.

Pushover isn’t the only method for this I used to have Zammad push notifications over to Teams. with the changes to teams webhooks not sure if this feature still works or not. I got this idea from someone using Telegram to receive webhooks from Zammad

If your Zammad instance is self hosted have developed a iPhone App with Push support - Tammad - Native iOS Client for Zammad - #6 by entttom

@entttom Our business-phones are Android based; I’m sorry.

@jd_it I know such solutions exist, but they need some manual setup for each user. I’m currently working with a notification tone played on the speakers, placed in every room, but this one doesn’t work when working from remote.
