Support channels
Dawiso provides multiple support channels to address questions, resolve issues, and share updates. The appropriate channel depends on the type and urgency of your request. Here, you will find support channels for:
- General inquiries: Resources available to all users.
- Enterprise clients: Dedicated support options in addition to general channels.
- Partners: Collaboration-focused channels for client-specific cases.
General inquiries
For most questions, we strongly recommend starting with the Help portal or the Dawiso Forum. These channels are the fastest and most effective ways to find answers:
Help Portal
The Help Portal is the most complete and up-to-date source of documentation for Dawiso. It contains detailed guidance on features, configuration, and best practices, which are updated on an ongoing basis through continuous improvements and customer feedback.
Dawiso Forum
The Dawiso Forum is a free collaborative space where you can post questions, report problems, and view existing solutions.
- Team monitoring: The Dawiso team reviews posts and provides direct responses where needed.
- Peer support: Other users can answer questions and share their own solutions.
- Recorded solutions: Resolved questions remain visible, building a searchable knowledge base.
- Integrated chatbot: Connected to the Help portal for fast answers without searching manually. Simply tag @DawisoBot in a message with your prompt for immediate answers with reference links.
- Announcements channel: Used for release notes, package updates, and feature introductions.
The forum is open to all users and is a highly recommended channel for direct support. It combines interactive discussion with up-to-date resources and also provides access to past issues and their resolutions, helping users find answers more quickly.
Support form
The support form is intended for submitting specific issues or suggestions where a one-way report is sufficient. For interactive troubleshooting, the Forum is the better option.
Enterprise clients
Based on the contract, enterprise clients typically have access to their own dedicated support channels, in addition to the general ones.
| Support Channel | When to use |
|---|---|
| Help Portal | The Help Portal remains highly encouraged as the most complete and up-to-date resource. |
| Dedicated email address | When preferred, clients can use a dedicated email address for direct reporting of issues provided in the client contract. |
| Priority communication channels | Priority communication channels are tailored to the client’s needs (e.g., ticketing systems such as Jira) to ensure faster response and resolution. For more information, contact our Customer Success team. |
Partners
Partners can use the general support channels for broad questions and issues:
Help Portal
The Help Portal is the most comprehensive and up-to-date source of information for Dawiso, offering detailed guidance on features, configuration, and best practices, all of which can also be accessed through the integrated Dawiso Forum chatbot.
Dawiso Forum
Partners are strongly encouraged to actively use the Dawiso Forum by posting questions, starting discussion threads, and sharing solutions. Regular participation:
- Allows partners and clients to get familiar with Dawiso and its maintenance in a natural way, and,
- Ensures that knowledge is captured and available for both current and future use.
The forum is a key space for building an active Dawiso community by bringing together Dawiso, partners, and clients.
By sharing issues and resolutions openly, partners help create a collaborative environment where familiarization with Dawiso is faster, repeated problems are reduced, and solutions remain immediately accessible for everyone.
Client-specific enquiries
For client-specific questions, partners also have access to dedicated collaboration channels:
- Private partner channel on Slack provided by Dawiso
- Dedicated Jira project per client
Shared communication is encouraged, as it ensures that both partners and the Dawiso team have full visibility of questions and resolutions.
Keeping discussions in the dedicated channel preserves context, avoids duplication, and helps build a common knowledge base.
