Response Speed

All users are able to submit support tickets through the different ways listed here: Submit a Support Request . The speed and certainty of response will be determined by a combination of your SLA as well as the type of issue raised. As an example, anyone can report a bug or issue in CommCare that they come across, regardless of their software plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What support am I entitled to?

If you are unsure of the current software plan that you have access to in CommCare, you can confirm by:

Who provides support for CommCare?

The Dimagi Support team is available around the clock to help users resolve issues quickly and effectively. With a 95% customer satisfaction score, we are committed to advocating for our users and ensuring a positive experience on our platform.

In addition, the CommCare community offers peer-to-peer support through our CommCare Forum, where anyone can ask questions, share knowledge, and contribute to helping others.

How quickly should I expect a response from the Dimagi Support team?

We guarantee a one-business-day first response time for all Pro and above customers. This does not include follow-up time (emails after the first response) or resolution times.

After the initial response from our team, we promise all Advanced and Enterprise a reply to any of your subsequent emails within one business day. For urgent/breaking bugs, we promise an update every two hours on the status of your ticket. 

If you’re on the free edition of CommCare or the Standard or Pro plans, don’t fret! Although we are not in a position to offer you a follow-up SLA, our average follow-up time over the past year for all tickets submitted by our users is less than four hours!

How do you prioritize support requests?

Our prioritization process takes into account the severity of the issue, the subscription plan, and our competing backlog, in that order.

I have a lot of questions around application building and design. Is the support team the right team to speak to about this?

If you are starting a project and require more hands-on help with building an application or more complex workflows, we recommend new customers consider our paid Onboarding Packages.

With an Onboarding Package, you get dedicated one-on-one time with an experienced app builder who will review your app, offer tailored improvements, and guide you on best practices for sustainability and data management. We strongly encourage all new users to take advantage of this.

Please contact sales@dimagi.com for details.
