Types of support provided
Free tier users
Free plan users can get in touch with support agents, but when there’s a high volume of tickets, the tickets from this tier plan users may not be processed. We also have a series of existing resources that can provide you with plenty of information, so that you get the most out of Contentful and can promptly find answers to your questions. See the available resources listed above.
Lite tier customers
Lite plan customers can open support tickets and communicate with Contentful support agents through the Contentful website. While we do our best to answer questions promptly, standard support does not include guarantees on response time.
Premium customers
Premium customers (formerly Enterprise) have prioritized support, with guaranteed response times for tickets in the queue.
Customer support
Available to help with any technical and operational questions and needs. Open a Customer Support ticket via our support portal for technical questions, technical issues, bugs, access issues, feature requests, or other issues.

How quickly can I expect your support team to reply?
Premium plan customers have guaranteed response times based on the SLA level they have purchased. We do not provide response time SLAs for self-service customers -- it could take from a couple of hours to several days, depending on the queue and the nature of your inquiry.
In case of urgent issues:
In order for your tickets to be covered by your SLA, tickets must be:
Opened via our customer support portal
Opened by a user with your company’s email domain / working with partner agencies
Tips for to get a speedy resolution:
Provide a problem statement
Include the space or entry ID if applicable
Include whether production is affected
Attach logs, screenshots and details of when and where the issue occurs
What is an SLA?
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are legally binding performance criteria our service and teams adhere to. The criteria include guaranteed uptime and support response time, and are based on the SLA purchased. Automated service monitoring, on-call teams, and risk mitigation procedures underpinning our SLA commitments form an integral part of our enterprise-grade offerings. As a result, customers can only purchase SLAs as a part of a Premium plan agreement, and not on Team or Community tier plans.
NOTE: All Premium contracts require an SLA.
