How to Raise a Support Request

If you face any issues or have queries regarding app building in Clappia, here's how to request support:

Request Support Options

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

Click on it to view multiple support options:

• Raise a Support Request
• Chat with Us
• Schedule a Call
• Ask the Community

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.

1. Log In: Click on the Request Support button on the dashboard and select “Raise a Support Request” or go to a specific app and do the same if the issue is app-related.
2. Go to Design App: If the issue concerns a particular app, select the app, click on Request Support located, as mentioned earlier, at the top right corner (note: this is for workplace managers or app builders only, not for regular users). Then select Raise a Support Request from the dropdown.
   

3. Fill Out the Form: A Pop-up form 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.

4. 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 Support Request is raised from the dashboard itself and not the app, Clappia Support will only be added to the workplace and not to the concerned app if any.

‍

5. 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.

6. 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.
