Profile and notifications

| Item | Details |

|—|—|

| Who it is for | All members |

| Menu location | Avatar menu → Profile; sidebar bell opens notifications |

| Plan dependency | MFA recommended for everyone; API tokens may be paid-plan only |

Manage your own sign-in and alerts. This does not change workspace channel configuration.

—

1. Profile

– Avatar and display name

– Sign-in email (changing it may require signing in again)

– Interface language and font size

– Send shortcut: Enter or Ctrl/⌘ + Enter

– Personal signature: appended to website / email / API messages you send; may include one uploaded image. Inline images pasted from elsewhere may be stripped — use the upload control.

—

2. Password and two-factor authentication

– Changing password invalidates other device sessions; sign in again.

– Two-factor authentication (MFA): scan the QR code with an authenticator app and save backup codes. Before changing phones, unbind here or keep backup codes ready.

– Super-admin MFA policy is stricter; ordinary tenant members follow workspace requirements.

3. Sessions and API tokens

– Active sessions: review signed-in devices; revoke suspicious ones.

– Access Token: for scripts calling the Chatips API. Paid plans only. Reset immediately if leaked. Never commit to Git.

4. Notifications and sounds

You can set separately:

| Channel | Examples |

|—|—|

| Browser push | Requires notification permission |

| Email | Assigned, @mentioned, etc. |

| Sounds | None / only my conversations / all |

Then refine types: new conversation, new message on assigned, new message while participating, mentions, SLA, and so on. Too quiet and you miss tickets; too loud and you lose focus. On-duty agents should at least enable “assigned to me” and “mentions”.

You can preview sounds. Muted browser tabs may silence them.

5. Availability

See Getting started.Status affects auto-assignment — switch to Offline when you finish work.

6. Frequently asked questions

No email notifications? Spam folder, personal toggles off, or daily platform email quota (system mail from administrators can be affected too).

Lost MFA? Use a backup code. If those are gone, ask a workspace administrator to contact Chatips for an identity-verified reset (never post backup codes in a public chat).

Customers cannot see my signature? The channel does not support signatures, or you sent a private note.
