Push notification in Lightning Service Console

There is a very powerful feature in classic console that whenever any changes happens at any record by other users, you can know it in list view and case detail page as well: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/service_console_customize/service_console_customize_push

But unfortunately, Salesforce does not provide this feature in lightning service console yet — a real pain for support agent. Here is an idea as well: https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=0873A000000lJYEQA2. It being shown that it’s part of Salesforce roadmap but don’t know when!!

Till that I came to workaround- at least works at Case detail level. I am just going to explain approach that you need to follow.

  1. Using platform event subscription & lightning:empApi
  • Create a platform event called: Case_Event_e
  • Create a custom field on this PE called “Message__c”
  • Create a lightning Component as mentioned in github gist.
  • Add this lightning component in Case Record page somewhere to make sure that whenever case record pages loads, this lightning component loads too.

Here is sample code: https://gist.github.com/ayub-ansari/631454951cd8fe46c7bc14d2a9b8d7c9

2. Using Change Data Capture event and lightning:empApi
