Why use Zendesk as opposed to emailing Onovative staff?
The short answer to this question is the speed at which you can receive an answer. As we focus more and more on the Help Center, we are seeing that our customers find resolutions faster through Zendesk than through emailing our Support staff directly. We have over 200 articles on the Help Center, so your question has most likely already been answered here. Using the Submit a Request button allows you to find answers faster, as well as potentially resolve your issue before submitting a request. It also cuts out the need to determine who to email with your question. Any query you have can just be submitted directly using this form and our staff will direct it to the best person for your specific needs. If you want answers fast, it is always better to use the Submit a Request button.
Submitting a support request
As a user of the Core iQ Knowledge Base, you have the ability to submit requests using our support request form, found here on our Help Center. This form will submit the ticket directly to Onovative's Support team, just like it would if you sent an email to us at support@onovative.com.
To submit a support request in Help Center
- Click Submit a request at the top of the page.
- If you want to add a CC, simply add an email address to copy a user on the ticket.
To copy multiple users, use a comma to separate each email address.
- Enter a subject and description of the problem.
As you enter a subject, a list of suggested articles in the knowledge base appears. You can click one of the articles instead of submitting the request. This is always the fastest way to find answers to common questions.
- Add any attachments.
The file size limit is 20 MB.
- Click Submit.
Updating a support request by email
After receiving your support request, you will be issued an immediate email that can be used to update your request at any time. Replying directly to any of these emails will update the task that is mentioned. You can also use the My Activities area to comment on and update your support requests.
Updating a support request in My Activities with a comment or CC
The My Activities area allows you to update any existing support request that is not closed with a comment. You can also add CCs to an existing support request.
