Many basic requests can be resolved within a couple of business days.More complex requests requiring extensive troubleshooting or development work are could take a week or more to resolve.

This can result in prolonged time to resolution.

Some feature enhancements or requests may be weeks or months away on our platform development roadmap. While we value your continued feedback and take platform feature requests under consideration, we aren’t always able to meet your desired turnaround time. We are happy to discuss alternative solutions when feature requests are not immediately addressable.
