* `logLevel`: The Chat21-ionic supports 4 log levels. The order is as follows:
  `Error < Warn < Info < Debug`

* `fileUploadAccept`: The Chat21-ionic allows you to manage the type of files that can be uploaded. By default, all file types are accepted.

* `wsUrl`: allows you to know in real time the agent's availability status, the agent's busy status and the number of unassigned conversations for a selected project

* `supportMode`: if it is set to true it shows the left sidebar which makes dashboard and chat management smarter

* `writeToButton`: if set to true, it makes the button for viewing the contact list visible and makes direct conversations with them possible

* `archivedButton`: if set to true, it makes the button for viewing archived conversations visible

### Push notification
* open `/src/firebase-messaging-sw.js` and replace messagingSenderId: with < your messagingSenderId >

* firebase-messaging-sw.js must be accessible in the root of the webapp, for example (https://support.tiledesk.com/firebase-messaging-sw.js)
* After the build process, check the property gcm_sender_id of the manifest.json file. The correct value for firebase is:
`"gcm_sender_id": "103953800507"`
