Akeeba Sistema de Tickets Pro 5.5.3

Raised minimum requirements​

ATS now requires PHP 8.1 or later and Joomla 5.3 or later. PHP 8.0 and older Joomla versions are no longer supported.

Joomla API application integration​

ATS now ships with a full Joomla API application integration, allowing programmatic access to tickets, posts, attachments (Pro), and manager notes (Pro) via standard JSON:API endpoints under /api/index.php/v1/ats/. This is intended for headless integrations, third-party tooling, and automation workflows.

Web Push notifications​

A new plugin (plg_ats_webpush) delivers browser-level Web Push notifications for ticket events, letting users and support staff receive real-time alerts without an email round-trip.
