If requesting assistance via the Request Form, select "Urgent" from the Request Priority dropdown
If requesting assistance via Direct Email, include the words “Urgent” or “Critical” in the subject line
If you need to escalate an existing ticket, respond to the ticket and include the "#urgent" tag in your response

Any one of these options will alert the on-call staff.

Service Level Agreements

MessageGears Customer Support Service Level Agreement (SLA) response times are based on ticket Priority. “Priority” is a subjective measurement that considers the urgency of the issue to the customer.

Priority Level	Priority Definition	Response Requirement
Urgent	Anything that would result in complete system down time. Any major product feature that is non-functional and has no known workaround.	Initial response to ticket by Customer Support within 15 minutes of receipt.
High	System error, or serious production performance issue. Under certain conditions, a core function of Accelerator is non-functional, but there's a possible workaround.	Initial response to ticket by Customer Support within 30 minutes of receipt, during standard hours of operation.
Normal* * Default priority for new tickets	A functional issue has occurred, but it's generally minor and has one or more workarounds. A question about product functionality. A request for professional services. A request for reporting data.	Initial response to ticket by Customer Support within 30 minutes of receipt, during standard hours of operation.
Low	Minor program error or performance issues causing little or no impact to the customer. Research request.	Initial response to ticket by Customer Support within 60 minutes of receipt, during standard hours of operation.

“Initial response” means that a Customer Support team member has acknowledged receipt of the support ticket and, if necessary, has notified the customer of additional information that is needed to proceed with the investigation.
