Screen Shot 2021-04-23 at 12 29 57 PM

My notifications preferences are being respected in all areas but omnichannel and I can't see any way to set prefs specifically for omnichannel as I can other channels.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Go to your user preferences and set all notifications to "Nothing"
  2. Send a message via Livechat / Omnichannel
Expected behavior:

No desktop notification should occur

Actual behavior:

A desktop notification occurs.

Research direction

Start by tracing how user notification preferences are applied to desktop notifications, then compare that path with notifications triggered by Livechat or Omnichannel messages. Reproduce the issue with all preferences set to “Nothing”; done means no desktop notification appears for an Omnichannel chat while other notification behavior remains unchanged.
