How to engage effectively with support
Updated: September 17, 2021
What you should keep in mind when talking to our support engineers.
Introduction
To make sure that you understand and enjoy Contentful, and that you promptly find answers to all your questions, we've collected a massive knowledge base: the developer docs, FAQ area, and user guides. Our GitHub repos contain a lot of valuable samples and tools, too.
If you can't find an answer to your question, you'd naturally want to talk to our support. Please do! The best way to do so is to submit a ticket, but you can also use in-app chat for quick, relatively simple questions: look for the Talk to us button in the web app, right in the top-right corner dropdown. Find more details below.
How do I connect with Contentful Support?
Submit a ticket
- If you believe that you’ve run into a bug
- If you’re having difficulty setting up Contentful
- If you have any API-related questions
- If you want to submit a feature request
- If you need advice about your current setup
- If you have any questions regarding your last invoice (or billing in general)
- If you have any security concerns
When submitting a ticket, please make sure to use the same email which you use for your Contentful account, and to include all the details (i.e., screenshots, IDs of entries and spaces, etc.) so that we know about your problem as much as you do.
Only paying customers (Basic and Premium/Enterprise plans) will receive a reply from our Support team when a ticket is created from the Support form.
Send us an in-app message
- If you have simple content modeling questions
- If you are having difficulty setting up your organization memberships
- If you want to give us some feedback about Contentful
How fast will Contentful Support get back to me?
Our support engineers are online to answer your questions 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday (with exceptions of German and U.S. holidays). Customers with premium support agreements have extended support availability.
What can't Contentful Support help with?
Understandably, our users run into a wide variety of questions when building their Contentful-powered projects — some of which we can't answer (no matter how much we'd like to). These are often out of out product scope and includes the following themes:
- Problems on the front-end side of the application*
- Re-writing user’s code
- Integrating third-party services with Contentful*
- Analyzing logs
- Implementing feature requests*
*While Contentful Support can't help with these issues, you might be able to find what you're looking for by sifting through threads in or engaging with the Contentful Slack Community.
Where can I find info on platform status?
Our platform status page is always up to date and shows the current platform status.
The Contentful platform is constantly being monitored by our engineering team. In the event of any issue affecting the health and operation of Contentful infrastructure, core systems, or tools, our dedicated operations team is notified and will work to immediately diagnose and correct any issues.
