Request Support Options

The Request Support button is available directly on the dashboard at the top right corner. 

How to Raise a Support Request

Click on it to view multiple support options:

  • Raise a Support Request
  • Chat with a Person
  • Chat with AI Assistant
  • Schedule a Call
  • Ask the Community
customer support - chat options

Each option is explained in detail below.

Raise a Support Request

This option enables Clappia's support team to gain temporary access to your Workplace and the specific apps you need help with. This allows the team to directly review your configurations and identify issues. You can provide a detailed description of the issue through a form, along with screenshots for additional context. Access granted to Clappia support is strictly temporary and will automatically be removed 7 days after the issue is resolved, or you can manually revoke it at any time.

Support Request

When you click on Raise a Support Request, you will be taken to your Support Requests dashboard. This dashboard maintains a log of all the requests you have submitted earlier, including their status. From here, you can also choose to reopen old requests if needed.

Support Request

New Requests

To raise a new request, click the Raise a Support Request button at the top right corner of the screen.

A pop-up window will appear, select the issue, describe it in detail, attach any relevant screenshots or recordings for clarity, select the acknowledgement, and click on submit request. Providing clear information here ensures that the Support and Solutions team understands your problem and can assist you more effectively.

Once you submit the form, the support team automatically gets access to your workplace temporarily.

The form also has an App ID field. Although this is marked as optional, it is strongly recommended that you enter the App ID if your issue relates to a specific app. Without it, the team can only access your workplace but not the app itself. In such cases, they will reach out to you separately to request access, but it is best practice to include the App ID upfront unless the issue is related to the workplace in general.

Temporary Access: Once you submit, Clappia’s support team will gain temporary access to your app to assist you. The app will be automatically assigned to the support team. “Clappia Support” will be added to your workplace and the corresponding app. You can check it in either Workplace Settings on the left panel or in the app go to Design App > Distribute.
An email notification will be automatically sent to Clappia’s support team as well.

Note: If app id is not given, workplace access is given to Clappia support team and you will see it in Workplace Settings. If app id is given, you will see it in the Distribute tab of the app.

Handling Sensitive Data: If your app contains sensitive data, you can create a clone of your app and raise a request for the cloned version instead. This ensures that your data remains private while the support team reviews your app’s design and configurations. In case you have any interlinked apps using the ‘Get Data from other apps’ block, ensure you request support for that app as well. If a clone is done for the main app, ensure that you enable cloning for master apps (during cloning of the main app) as well if that has sensitive data, else you can simply raise a request from the other app without cloning it.

Support Request

Post-Resolution: After resolving the issue, you’ll receive an email confirmation. Remember to remove the support team’s access by going to Workplace Settings and following the steps to remove the user. If you don’t remove access, the access will automatically be removed for you after 7 days.

Email Notifications & Ticket Updates

When you raise a support request, Clappia’s system automatically generates a ticket ID and sends you an email containing:

  • The ticket number (for reference in all future communications).
  • A summary of the issues or queries you submitted.
What Happens Next
  • Ticket Assignment: The support team assigns your ticket to a relevant expert who begins investigating the issue.
  • Progress Updates:
    • If additional information is required, you will receive an email asking for details. This may include scheduling an online meeting or a quick call to discuss the issue further.
    • If the issue is resolved, you will receive a closure email with the resolution details, possible causes, and any suggested workarounds.
    • If the request is invalid or cannot be processed, you will be informed with reasons or alternatives.
    • In cases where a fix is planned for a future app update, you will be notified of the expected timeline.
Replying to Emails

You can reply directly to any support email you receive. Your responses will be added to the same ticket, ensuring smooth communication and quicker resolution.

Sorting and Filters

Support Request

At the top of the dashboard, you can filter and sort your requests using the following options:

  • Request ID – find a specific request by its ID.
  • Date – sort or filter by when the ticket was created.
  • Priority – show only tickets marked as High, Medium, or Low.
  • Status – filter by Open, Closed, or other statuses.

Use Clear All to remove all filters and return to the full list of tickets.

Chatting with Support

When you open a ticket, a Conversation section appears on the right. This is where you can exchange messages with the support team.

  • Use the attachment option to add screenshots, videos, or files that can help explain the issue better.
  • All replies from you and the support team are shown in the same conversation thread, and you will also receive email notifications for every update.

Reopening Closed Requests

If an issue reappears after a ticket has been closed, you can reopen the same request.

  • Open the ticket from the dashboard.
  • Choose the option to Reopen (or reply to the thread if that option is not visible).
  • The ticket will move back to Open status, and the support team will be notified.
