When using the mobile version of the agent WP on Android or iOS (versions 6.14 and later with the PWA application installed on the desktop), you can receive web-push notifications about a new message in one of your chants with clients even if the tab with the chat is inactive, the browser with it is minimized, or if you blocked the device.

- Make sure edna Chat Center version 5.1.0 or higher is installed on your stand.
- Register an app in the Firebase console as described in this article.
