We provide standard and advanced support opportunities for our products. Standard support comes with all our supported apps, and you can also upgrade to advanced support with us as well.

We strive to respond to every request within one business day except for the weekends and holidays listed below. Note that this is relative to time to first response. The amount of time needed to provide a fix is variable based on the nature of the event. Each request is prioritized against all other requests in the support queue depending on the request type. For instance, requests for licensed commercial plugins (commercial support) take advantage over free plugins or trial licenses (free support).

We do our best effort to reply to each request in the shortest time reasonably possible. We provide support in accordance with this SLA but cannot be held responsible for delays caused by Client or for reasons outside of our control. Support for the Data Center clients is prioritized so that we ensure quick response time and fast solution finding for such clients.

Types of app support

  1. Standard Support - Free - app functionality, billing, installation, configuration support
  2. Advanced Support - Paid - Priority processing, implementation consultations, script consultations
  3. Engagement - Sales Channel - We'll implement your hardest use cases for you!
  4. Atlassian Community - Free - Best effort to address the question

Advanced support services

We understand that every company requires different level of our engagement and are happy to help you with requests that fall outside of standard support. We offer various kinds of custom, advanced support services to tailor your specific needs and use cases. We review your case with you and define the time and services necessary to help you achieve your goals. Then we plan work on your case and you get a dedicated developer and a timeframe to satisfy your needs.

Please note that this service is not typically appropriate for significant project work, which would be quoted for on a project by project basis.

Examples of advances support services

  • Training on our products
  • Optimize your spending by identifying apps you can retire and consultations on how you can substitute them by Power Scripts™
  • Implementation consultations
  • Script consultations
  • Complicated use cases
  • Configuration consultations
  • Complex upgrades
  • Customized solutions of our apps
  • Help during unplanned events and complex upgrades

Advanced support benefits

  • Priority processing of your requests
  • You receive a dedicated developer to work on your case
  • We regularly update you on the matter 
  • We check the scripts you wrote and provide advice
  • We suggest workarounds and configuration changes where applicable

Advanced support does not cover

  • Writing custom scripts for you or significant project work
    We will review the scope with you as a custom scripting engagement
  • Support outside of the team working hours
  • Source code for our apps

Engagement

If you would like to build something entirely custom, unique to your needs, or take care of your hardest use case – we can do it too! In this case we will scope the effort, review it with you and implement it as a custom dev engagement. Whichever you want to achieve is possible – let's chat!

Atlassian Community

Aside from standard and premier support, you can also find help (suggestions, best practices, tips and tricks) in the Atlassian Community. Implementation requests are not covered in our standard support, yet in addition to Community members, we also check the Community and provide our answers there. We recommend that you post your implementation questions and requests there. This way you will get help and other Community members will have access to the solution as well. 

Disclaimer: Appfire cannot be held liable for any advice given by third parties in the Atlassian Community. For Appfire support on the implementation requests, please contact us for premier support contract.
