Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyZendesk has no native desktop notifications for incoming tickets
Support agents must manually check the Zendesk interface for new tickets since the platform provides no native desktop push notifications. This forces a polling behavior that causes delayed responses and missed tickets, particularly in lower-volume queues where agents context-switch to other tasks.
Zendesk Notifications Delayed or Absent Without Browser Check
Support agents using Zendesk report that desktop or mobile notifications frequently arrive late or not at all, forcing manual browser refreshes to catch new tickets. The unreliability breaks the real-time response expectations of support workflows. This appears to be a recurring platform-level reliability issue rather than a one-off incident.
Helpdesk Mobile App Notifications Pile Up and Must Be Cleared Manually
Support agents using the Android app report that during busy ticket queues, notifications stack up individually and must each be cleared by hand, making older tickets appear as if they just arrived. This notification-grouping gap creates confusion about which tickets are actually new.
Zendesk App Navigation Bug Unfixed for 3 Years

Zendesk Mobile App Delivers Notifications Late Due to FCM Bug
Zendesk's mobile app fails to deliver push notifications in real time because of unoptimized Google FCM integration. Support agents only receive ticket alerts when they manually unlock their phones, sometimes up to an hour after the ticket arrives. This forces users to constantly check the app manually, undermining the purpose of mobile notifications.
