    How browser and Android notifications work

    Understand device permission, FCM token registration, and the checks to perform when conversation notifications do not arrive.

    Prepared by the VSCRM AI team

    Expected outcome

    Notification permission enabled on the devices where the workspace should alert you.

    Step-by-step

    1

    Sign in on the intended device

    Notifications are associated with the signed-in VSCRM AI user and can be registered on multiple supported devices.

    2

    Allow notification permission

    Approve the browser or Android notification request when prompted. A denied permission must be changed in device settings.

    3

    Keep the device token current

    Opening the signed-in workspace allows Firebase Cloud Messaging to register the current device token.

    4

    Generate test activity

    Start a new visitor conversation or message and confirm that the notification appears on the intended device.

    5

    Open the conversation

    Use the notification to return to the workspace and review the relevant conversation.
