> When (and how) to escalate to support, sales, or Enterprise

## Why This Matters

Pro is mostly self-serve, but a handful of things genuinely need a human. Knowing **which channel** for **which situation** turns "I'll figure it out tomorrow" into a 15-minute resolution today.

## Quick Decision Tree

| Situation                                                                         | Channel                                                                          |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Renewal** of your Pro plan                                                      | Email [support@9pic.ai](mailto:support@9pic.ai)                                  |
| **Stuck payment** (debited from bank, not reflected in dashboard)                 | Email [support@9pic.ai](mailto:support@9pic.ai) with Payment ID + Gateway Ref ID |
| **Enable a beta or by-request product** (Certify / Buzz / Select / Motion / Flow) | Email [support@9pic.ai](mailto:support@9pic.ai)                                  |
| **Custom domain not active after 48 hours**                                       | Email [support@9pic.ai](mailto:support@9pic.ai) with the domain and CNAME target |
| **Want to evaluate Enterprise** (Checkout, API keys, custom gateways, SLAs)       | Use the Enterprise contact link below                                            |
| **Need an invoice or accounting export**                                          | Email [support@9pic.ai](mailto:support@9pic.ai) with the date range              |
| **Account compromised or suspicious activity**                                    | Email [support@9pic.ai](mailto:support@9pic.ai) immediately                      |
| **Anything else inside the dashboard**                                            | Use the in-product **Support** link (`/contact-support`)                         |

## Channels in Detail

### Email [support@9pic.ai](mailto:support@9pic.ai)

The default channel for everything operational on Pro. Response standard is the same as Enterprise — there's no second-class queue for Pro tickets. Things that go here:

* Renewals, refunds, billing reconciliation.
* Enabling Buzz / Certify / Select / Motion / Flow.
* Stuck payments.
* Domain / DNS verification problems.
* "I'm not sure if this is a bug or a misconfiguration" — we'd rather you ask than spend an hour debugging.

**What to include:**

* Your **organisation name** as it appears in the dashboard.
* The **page** in the dashboard you're on (or a URL).
* A **Payment ID / Gateway Ref ID** if the issue is billing-related.
* A **screenshot** if the issue is visual.
* The **steps you already tried** so we don't repeat them.

### In-product Support flow

The dashboard's **Support** entry (`/contact-support`) routes to the same inbox but pre-fills your organisation context, so it saves you from typing your org name and current plan. Use it when:

* You're already on the dashboard and don't want to switch to email.
* The issue is dashboard-specific (a button isn't working, a screen looks wrong, etc.).
* You'd rather a screenshot upload field than an attached image.

### Enterprise contact form

For evaluating an upgrade to **Enterprise** (Checkout, custom gateways, API access, SLA), the dashboard's purchase wizard exposes a **Contact support** card that links to **[9pic.ai/contact](https://9pic.ai/contact/)**. Use that link when:

* You want to talk through Enterprise pricing for your event volume.
* You need to discuss compliance / contracting questions before the conversation gets technical.
* You'd rather have a sales conversation than an email thread.

The same outcome is reachable by emailing [support@9pic.ai](mailto:support@9pic.ai) with subject "Enterprise" — it just routes you slightly differently.

## What Not to Email About

These are self-serve on Pro and emailing actually slows things down:

| Self-serve task               | Where to do it                                    |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Top up credits                | [Credits & Top-ups](/pro-guide/credits)           |
| Recheck a Pending payment     | [Transactions](/pro-guide/transactions)           |
| Change branding, logo, theme  | [Branding & Theme](/pro-guide/branding)           |
| Connect a custom domain       | [Custom Domain](/pro-guide/domain)                |
| Invite or remove team members | [Team Setup](/pro-guide/team)                     |
| Configure GTM                 | [Advanced Settings](/pro-guide/advanced-settings) |
| Run an event                  | [Run an Event on Pro](/pro-guide/run-an-event)    |

## Common Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What's the response time for Pro support?">
    Same as Enterprise — there's no separate queue. We aim for one business day on routine tickets and same-day on urgent ones (stuck payments, broken go-live, etc.).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I escalate a ticket if I haven't heard back?">
    Reply to the same thread with "ESCALATE" in the subject line and a one-line summary. We re-route internally.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do you have a phone number for emergencies?">
    Email-and-screenshot is faster than phone for almost every issue. For genuine emergency (e.g. you're 30 minutes from event go-live and something is broken), email with subject **"EVENT-DAY URGENT"** — we monitor for it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I get a dedicated account manager?">
    Dedicated account management is part of an **Enterprise** package. On Pro, you get the standard support queue, which is the same response queue Enterprise customers use.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where do I report a bug vs request a feature?">
    Both go to [support@9pic.ai](mailto:support@9pic.ai). Tag the subject line **\[BUG]** or **\[FEATURE]** so we route correctly.
  </Accordion>
