# Support Tickets

> Get help from the CloseTheCall team — submit tickets, track progress, and communicate until your issue is resolved.

If you run into a problem or have a question that the docs do not answer, you can contact our support team directly from your dashboard. Every conversation is tracked so nothing gets lost.

To get here, click **Support** in the left sidebar (under Settings).

## Before You Submit

At the top of the Support page, you will see a banner linking to our **Help Center** (these docs). Many common questions are answered here — checking the docs first can save you time.

## Email Notifications

You do not need to check the dashboard constantly. Here is how notifications work:

* **When support replies** to your ticket, you receive an email at the address on your account. The email includes the reply text and a link to view the full conversation in your dashboard.
* **When you reply** via the dashboard, the support team is notified immediately.
* **Email replies** also work: if you reply directly to a support notification email, your response is added to the ticket thread automatically.

<Info>
  Emails come from `support@closethecall.com`. Add this address to your contacts so replies do not end up in spam.
</Info>

## Response Time Expectations

| Priority   | First Response Target                |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **Urgent** | Within 2 hours during business hours |
| **High**   | Within 4 hours during business hours |
| **Normal** | Within 1 business day                |

Our support hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm GMT. Urgent tickets submitted outside these hours are triaged first thing the next morning.

<Tip>
  If your AI receptionist is completely down and you need immediate help, use the **Urgent** priority. Our team has automated alerts for urgent tickets.
