= Submit Support Request =
 
 
'''Screen purpose:''' Send a support ticket to the CallProof team from inside the app — pick a category, describe the issue, and choose how you want to be contacted.
 
[[File:SubmitSupportRequest.png|350px|thumb|Submit Support Request popup]]
 
 
* Choose a support '''Category'''
 
 
* Describe your problem or question
 
 
* Ask to be contacted by '''Email''', '''Phone''', or '''Do not contact'''
 
 
* Submit — CallProof emails the request to support
 
 
'''Popup title:''' Submit Support Request
 
 
'''Address:''' <code>/support/</code>
 
 
'''Note:''' This is a '''popup''' opened from the Support menu — not a full page. Opening the address directly returns the form for the popup.
 
 
'''Navigation:''' '''Support Icon Hover''' &rarr; '''Submit Support Request'''
 
 
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
 
 
== How to open Submit Support Request ==
 
 
=== Option A — Support menu (recommended) ===
 
 
# Sign in to CallProof.
 
# Open the sidebar '''Support''' section.
 
# Click the menu item for '''Support''' / '''Submit Support Request''' (label may vary by company menu).
 
# The '''Submit Support Request''' popup opens.
 
 
=== Option B — Request VOIP (companies without phone/VOIP enabled) ===
 
 
# If your company does not have CallProof VOIP/texting enabled, the phone-numbers menu may show as '''Request VOIP'''.
 
# Click '''Request VOIP'''.
 
# The same support popup opens with a '''VOIP'''-related category pre-selected when available.
 
 
== Permissions ==
 
 
* You must be '''signed in'''.
 
* Any signed-in user can submit a request.
 
* Your '''company name''', '''your name''', and (when set) your login email are included so support knows who sent it.
 
* Company menu permissions control whether the Support item appears in the sidebar.

=== Steps ===
 
 
# Open '''Submit Support Request''' from the Support menu.
 
# Choose a '''Category''' from the dropdown.
 
# In '''Description of Problem or Question''', write a clear summary:
 
** What you were doing
 
** What went wrong (or what you need)
 
** Any exact error text, screen name, or URL
 
# Under '''Please Contact Me''', select one option:
 
** '''Email''' — then confirm or edit the '''Email''' field that appears
 
** '''Phone''' — then confirm or edit the '''Phone Number''' field that appears
 
** '''Do not contact''' — no extra field appears
 
# Click '''Submit'''.
 
# You should see: '''Support Request Sent Successfully'''.
 
# The popup closes after about a second.
 
 
'''Required fields:''' Category, Description, and a contact choice. If you pick Email or Phone, that contact field is also required — incomplete fields are highlighted before submit.

! What happens
 
|-
 
| '''Email'''
 
| Support sees your preferred email. Reply-To on the ticket uses your CallProof login email so they can reply to you.
 
|-
 
| '''Phone'''
 
| Support sees the phone number you entered (defaults to your profile phone when available).
 
|-
 
| '''Do not contact'''
 
| The ticket is still sent; you are not asking for a callback or reply.

= Request VOIP (related shortcut) =
 
 
'''Purpose:''' Ask CallProof about enabling VOIP / phone features when your company does not already have them.
 
 
'''Address pattern:''' <code>/support/?voip=1</code> (opens the same popup with VOIP category selected when that category exists)
 
 
=== Steps ===
 
 
# Click '''Request VOIP''' in the menu (shown when VOIP/phone numbers are not enabled for your company).
 
# Confirm the '''Category''' is the VOIP-related option (or select it).
 
# Describe what you need (for example: enable calling, texting, or a new phone number).
 
# Choose how you want to be contacted.
 
# Click '''Submit'''.
 
 
= What CallProof Support receives =
 
 
Your ticket email to support includes:
 
 
* Your '''company name'''
 
* The '''category''' you chose
 
* '''Your name''' (from your CallProof profile)
 
* Your '''contact preference''' and details (email or phone, if provided)
 
* Your '''description'''
 
* A subject line with company, your name, and the date/time
 
 
You do not manage a ticket list inside CallProof — follow-up happens by email or phone based on what you selected.
 
 
= Typical workflow =
 
 
# Hit a problem (or have a question) while using CallProof.
 
# Open '''Support → Submit Support Request'''.
 
# Pick the best '''Category'''.
 
# Paste any error text and name the screen (for example “Email Accounts” or “Update Time Zone”).
 
# Choose '''Email''' (keep your login email) or '''Phone'''.
 
# Click '''Submit''' and wait for the success message.
 
# Watch your email (or phone) for a reply from support.
 
 
= Tips and important notes =
 
 
* Be specific: screen name, what you clicked, and the exact error message save back-and-forth.
 
* Prefer '''Email''' if you can attach screenshots in your reply later.
 
* Your profile email and default phone are pre-filled — update them in the form if you want support to use a different number/address for this ticket only.
 
* Closing the popup with '''X''' discards an unsent form.
 
* This does '''not''' change your account settings — it only sends a message to support.
 
* For account/login issues where you cannot sign in, email [mailto:support@callproof.com support@callproof.com] directly.
 
 
== Need help? ==
 
 
* Form will not submit: fill Category, Description, and a contact choice; if Email/Phone is selected, fill that field too
 
* Wrong category: pick the closest match — support can re-route the ticket
 
* No success message: check your connection and try again; if it fails repeatedly, email [mailto:support@callproof.com support@callproof.com]
 
* Did not hear back: confirm the contact email/phone you entered, then follow up with support@callproof.com
 
* Other issues: email [mailto:support@callproof.com support@callproof.com]
