Submit a support ticket
This guide shows you how to send a message to the MapleGather support team when you need help that the knowledge base doesn’t cover.
Who can do this: All signed-in users can submit a support ticket.
- Click Help in the top-right corner of any page.
- In the side panel, click the Contact support tab.
- Review the pre-filled information. MapleGather automatically fills in the current page URL and your browser and operating system details to help the support team investigate quickly.
- Select a Category from the dropdown:
- Bug — something isn’t working as expected
- Feature request — you’d like MapleGather to do something it doesn’t do yet
- Billing — questions about your subscription or charges
- Accessibility — an accessibility barrier in the product (the “Report an accessibility issue” footer link pre-selects this)
- Other — anything that doesn’t fit the above
- Select a Severity level. This describes the impact on your work — every request gets the same response commitment regardless of severity:
- Critical — service is unusable — your organization cannot use MapleGather at all
- High — a major feature is broken — a critical feature is unavailable
- Medium — partial issue or a workaround exists — default; an issue that affects your work but you can work around it
- Low — minor or cosmetic — a minor issue or general question
- If you select Critical, read the alert that appears. It suggests checking the MapleGather status page. You can still submit the ticket after reading it.
- Type a description of your issue or question. As you type, related help articles appear below the description box. Click one to read it in the side panel — it may answer your question without waiting for a response.
- If the help articles don’t apply, click Submit anyway to continue with your ticket.
- Optionally, click Attach screenshot and select an image file to include with your request.
- Click Submit ticket. MapleGather sends your ticket to the support team.
Verify
Section titled “Verify”You’ll know it worked when the confirmation page appears with the message “We got it — we’ll respond within [SLA].” Save or note your ticket reference number for follow-up.
If something goes wrong
Section titled “If something goes wrong”- “Screenshot too large” — If your screenshot file is over 10 MB, you’ll see the message “Screenshot too large — use a compression tool or paste the URL.” Compress the image using a tool like Squoosh or TinyPNG, then attach it again. Alternatively, include a URL to the page where the issue appears in your description.
Notes for members
Section titled “Notes for members”If you submit a ticket from the member portal, a copy is automatically routed to your organization’s admin notifications mailbox. If your message is sensitive and you do not want your admin to see it, toggle Sensitive — admin should NOT see before submitting. MapleGather will handle your ticket directly.
