Setting up notifications
Last updated November 12, 2024
We’ve built a few different modes for notifications to let you know when you should come back to Atlas to help out a customer.
There are now four different ways to be notified when important changes to tickets are made:
- Slack notifications
- email notifications
- browser notifications
- sound notifications
Setting up notifications
To adjust your notification settings, go to  Settings > Notifications :
Slack notifications require  connecting Atlas to Slack at which point you’ll receive notifications based off of your  Slack notification settings .
Browser notifications
Below are instructions for setting up browser notifications in Chrome on Mac and Windows. If you are using another browser or run into any issues, drop us a line via chat or email (support@atlas.so) and we can help you get notifications setup for your configuration.
Generally, you'll need to enable notifications in two places: (1) on your operating system (ie, Mac or Windows), and (2) on your browser (eg, Chrome).
Mac
Enable notifications on Mac by going to the Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Notifications & Focus. Select "Google Chrome" from the list of apps and then set it as shown below (you can find more info for troubleshooting  here ):
