Troubleshooting notifications
If you're not receiving notifications as expected, review the following:
- Users will only receive notifications from unassigned conversations if they've visited their conversations inbox at least once.
- If you're not receiving sound notifications in your Chrome browser after enabling the Floating notification sound setting, navigate to chrome://settings/content/sound and make sure app.hubspot.com is not muted.
- Ensure that your browser settings are configured to support push notifications.
