Support Guide

every breadwinner subscription includes free basic support this document explains how to access support, outlines basic support procedures, and details the limitations of the free support offer accessing breadwinner support nobody likes to contact support, and we at breadwinner understand that therefore, we have taken a couple of steps to either make contacting support as easy as possible or make it unnecessary breadwinner support is available via a dedicated support portal that uses the salesforce service cloud to manage support cases if you think that you need support, please check the knowledge base https //help qbo breadwinner com/support/home (kb) of our support portal this can be accessed either via the tab in the breadwinner setup or via the breadwinner website under your product’s "support" tab there, you’ll find helpful articles, many with instructional videos these articles may help resolve the issue you are experiencing or answer a question you may have without having to submit a ticket if the kb does not help, you can access the breadwinner support portal in three ways \ preferably via the "contact support" option on the left hand side of the breadwinner set up tab (this option is preferred because it automatically gives us the most background information regarding your salesforce org) \ via the breadwinner website under your product’s "support" https //help qbo breadwinner com/support/tickets/new tab \ by emailing " help\@breadwinner com ” if you use this method, please provide the customer’s name and org id, and grant login access if this is a technical issue when submitting "technical" support cases, it is very important that you grant "login access” to the salesforce org where the issue is occurring so our team can replicate the problem our support staff will not create or modify any of your records; they will simply review the situation you are experiencing if necessary, test records are usually created in our own test environments if you have non technical questions, you can also submit them via the three methods above however, they should be marked accordingly and do not require login access procedures what happens when you submit a support ticket? 1 you should immediately receive an automated confirmation email informing you that your ticket has been received 2 our support team is tasked with addressing tickets received during working days within 24 hours our agents may be in different time zones, so you may not get a second response immediately rest assured, one of our agents has looked into the issue and will respond within the 24 hour timeframe 3 if the issue is important, please preface the title of your case with the term “urgent ” in that case, some of our team members who are not dedicated to support may step in and pursue a faster resolution 4 if you receive an email response from our team members, please stay in the same support email thread by replying to the email you received creating a new ticket or emailing a new message can delay our response because those actions create new tickets that may not be merged with the original case immediately limitations of breadwinner’s free support breadwinner is an isv that works with salesforce partners breadwinner sells and supports the functionality of its products however, breadwinner is not a salesforce consultant and does not provide professional services breadwinner will not offer specific implementation assistance beyond our typical onboarding moreover, help with standard salesforce tasks and procedures that could be performed without breadwinner (e g , field creation and report building) is not provided either a salesforce administrator or a consultant should perform these tasks breadwinner may be able to provide additional support to your salesforce consultant, though this is handled on a case by case basis breadwinner support is generally limited to email, in conjunction with login access to the customer's salesforce org this is the standard support method recommended by salesforce for its isvs and implementation partners, and our experience is that the overwhelming majority of cases can be resolved promptly in this manner if we cannot resolve your case in a reasonable timeframe, we may attempt other communication methods, including zoom calls should that happen, we will provide you with a link to a calendar from which you can pick a day/time, or propose a day/time, and then send you a calendar invite to resolve the issue finally, for larger installations, breadwinner offers an application interface called global api (gapi), which allows extending breadwinner beyond its regular packaged functionality the use and implementation of this tool require the assistance of a seasoned apex specialist (i e , typically a consultant) breadwinner offers to review code produced by the specialist; however, we cannot write code, apex classes, or triggers examples of cases where breadwinner support cannot help below are questions we occasionally see on our support portal we are unable to provide support on these topics, though (on a case by case basis) we may be able to provide a one off session to your salesforce consultant, provided they are a registered salesforce partner can you build a report for us? can you build a dashboard for us? can you help us create a field in salesforce? can you help us build a flow?
