Incoming chats
You can receive an incoming chat in the app by tapping the green button.
Incoming chat can be shown to you via push notification if you have the app minimized or your phone is locked.
You can set up push notifications in Menu → Preferences.
All incoming activities ring the same as an incoming call.
Are notifications not functioning properly for you in the mobile application?
Check that you have enabled notifications for the Daktela mobile app on your device.
Check that you don't have a focus mode or standby mode that is blocking notifications. If you intend to use such a mode, remember to add the Daktela application to exceptions, allowing it to still receive notifications.
Check that you are logged into the mobile app, in the "ready" state, connected to the incoming queue (for calls), and that you have a mobile WebRTC device linked to the app. You can confirm the app's readiness for calls by observing the presence of the number pad on the phone screen without any warnings.
