Continuing the discussion from Introducing Discourse Chat (BETA) Awesome stuff! Just a quick question → How does notification work? I’m trying this here and I do see the notificaition dots but not getting anything via web or mobile …? Also, is there a way to get emails or “digest” style for chat of specific channels?

I answered in the Chat Feedback Channel, but I can’t pass up the opportunity to show off the swish Quote to Topic feature… :slight_smile: Originally sent in chat feedback [image] JammyDodger There are some extra options in your Preferences/Chat page that may be of use? [image.png] And the Chat Channel settings tab has a few more: [image.png]

Thanks! I still can’t figure it out though. I seem to only get notifications within discourse, but not browser notifications or push on mobile. Strange!

I’ve split this out into its own #support topic so we can go into a bit more detail about your specifics. :+1: Are you receiving push notifications and emails for your other onsite notifications? And is this here on Meta, or on your own site?

Thanks @JammyDodger . I am pretty sure I’m receiving web notif, or at least I have in the past..? It’s enabled, though I didn’t get your reply here - only via email. Strange.

I think they’re browser dependent, if that’s any help?

Didn’t get that one either. Strange! testing on both Safari and Chrome. :confused:

Hmm, this is puzzler. :thinking: If it’s no push notifications across chat or regular topics we should perhaps amend the topic title and see if anyone else is experiencing it. I’ll add a @Discourse mention in and see if that sends me one to my other browser as a control experiment. :crossed_fingers: Update: I received that one (Windows/Chrome) [image]

I have not received any push notifications from chat either (didn’t even know it was a feature!) but I regularly receive push notifications for everything else. I did receive an email notification for the first time yesterday which is awesome.

Yes, email seems to work. Other stuff does not :frowning:

Are any of you still running into issues with this? Apart from the two setting pages Jammy mentioned here, I can’t think of anything except to confirm that the per-device Live Notifications option is enabled: [image]

Yes, it seems to be the same thing. The state is:

I’ll merge your message into the existing topic in case there is any relevant additional information in it, and let you receive notifications if there’s an update on this topic
