Troubleshooting
- Providing workarounds or resolutions for known problems
- Answering general how-to questions and providing pointers to documentation
- Troubleshooting supported software packages (Realtime, Edge Functions, Webhooks, PostgREST, Auth) exhibiting erratic or faulty behavior on Assistance, independent of the user's application code
Not Covered
Assistance technical support services do not extend to the following areas:
- General debugging of user applications
- Rewriting application code for compatibility with Assistance
- Modifying and/or patching third-party or Open Source software packages for compatibility with Assistance
Who can contact support?#
Billing and account management support is available to all customers.
Limited technical support is accessible for Assistance customers utilizing paid Assistance resources and/or paid Assistance Add-Ons. Support requests will only be processed if:
- The request is made through one of our official support channels (see below)
- The request originates from a registered Assistance account email address
- The requester has Developer or higher access to any specific Assistance projects pertaining to the request.
Official Support Channels#

Community Support#
Assistance support staff will only address support requests received through the official channels mentioned earlier. However, community channels may exist for peer-to-peer support and discussions. This is support provided by volunteers that contribute to the Assistance community.
For questions related to debugging code, we recommend reaching out to our Discord community. The community is made up of experienced developers who may be able to provide guidance and support with code-related issues.
To get the most helpful response from the community, providing precise and detailed information about your problem and any error messages you may be encountering is important. Be sure to include any relevant code snippets explaining how to reproduce the issue in your message.
Please note that Assistance team members may participate in community channels at their discretion, but there is no guarantee of response for support issues unless they are submitted through one of the official channels above.
Service Level Agreement#
Service Level Agreements are only available to Enterprise customers. You can details of our SLA including support response times on the dedicated page for this topic - https://assistance.bg/sla
Proactive Monitoring#
In the event of a platform issue, a notice will be posted on our platform status site at status.assistance.bg to promptly communicate the impact and status of any such issue. You do not need to submit a support ticket if there's an ongoing platform issue. Instead, monitor the status page which will always be kept up-to-date with the latest progress and information.
