pavan nerella (ID: 000000af3f174440) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/06/2019 Initially this extension worked fine and made my job pretty easy in triaging the tickets. From the past 1 week, this extension is not working for me, i have reinstalled the extension to see if it works but not succeeded. Kindly let me know how to fix this issue. One more suggestion for the developer is, if we get an option to triage or assign to me in the notification will be more helpful
