Types of support provided

Free users:

Free users can get in touch with support agents, but when there’s a high volume of tickets the tickets from Basic (free) 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.

On-demand customers:

On-demand tier 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.

Enterprise customers:

Enterprise customers are granted premium support. This guarantees the highest priority for tickets in the queue. Enterprise customers enjoy response time guarantees.

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?

Enterprise customers enjoy response time guarantees indicated in the SLA package of their choice. We cannot provide response time guarantees to on-demand 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 adheres to. The criteria include guaranteed uptime and response time and vary by the SLA type. Automated service monitoring, on-call teams, and risk mitigation procedures underpinning our SLA commitments form an integral part of the enterprise product offering. As a result, customers can only purchase SLAs as a part of an enterprise agreement. Customers using our on-demand service do so without any performance guarantees. Please note that all enterprise agreements require an SLA.
