Chat notifications fail after update

  • 1.  Chat notifications fail after update

    Posted 08-21-2025 17:55

    Has anyone else experienced chat notification pop-ups and sound fail after updating to the new app version 2.44.848.0? I have searched for solutions both in Windows app settings and Genesys preferences but everything looks good.

    I haven't noticed that...I'll have to experiment a bit.

    Does it go away after a Refresh (F5, or click the menu icon and choose refresh)?

    Sorry...I should have verified. Do you really mean Chat? Or do you mean Web Messaging?

    I tested Web Messaging with 2.44.848.0 and it pops/alerts with sound just fine on my machine

    Did your desktop app somehow lose its settings in Windows to allow notifications?

    Thank you for your reply, 

    I have confirmed that the Windows settings are enabled. 

    My set up includes a secure web gateway, anti-virus, and enterprise firewall however, I wonder if there are any allow rules that need to be added. 

    It's weird, when I test notification from preferences, they work but when I receive actual messages, they never ring or pop up.

    Odd...if you open the Advanced Preferences in the Desktop App and enable Developer Tools, then Show Console to see the console log, do you see any "howler" messages like 

    sound:howler playSound

        Object { soundId: "digital" }

    Nothing jumps out at me. Is Support looking at the messaging from back end logs to see if alerts were sent?

    Yes, sound: howler playSound, does not appear though. I've opened up a ticket with them as well but no reply for a few days. 

    Since you've confirmed web messaging works, is that the same as internal chat for a company?

    No, completely different system for internal chat. Is that what is failing for you? I completely misread your initial post if so...

    Indeed, our internal chat. 

    Don't worry, I would appreciate if you could let me know if it fails for you too. 

    We use the desktop app, not the browser.

    I get a pop-up notification, but no sound.
