This article describes the different ways you can reach out to Tulip Support and what information you should include.

NOTE

If you are currently experiencing a critical issue that is impacting production, please utilize the request form via your Instance or help center and indicate the appropriate business impact.

Need help from Tulip's Support team? There are a few different available options for contacting Tulip Support:

  1. Create a request via your Tulip instance
  2. Create a request via Tulip help center
  3. Reach out via email to support@tulip.co
  4. Submit a live chat/offline message via your Tulip instance

When reaching out to Tulip Support, please consider the nature and urgency of your request to choose the best avenue.

Before submitting a support ticket, ensure that the issue falls within the scope of Tulip's supported product areas. Refer to our Support Policy, which lists items that are out of scope for tulip support.

Information for Support Request

Please provide as much detail to allow the team to resolve the request as efficiently as possible. This will minimize back-and-forth messages to gather relevant information. The following information is essential for all tickets to provide necessary information so that Tulip Support Engineers can help resolve your issue.

  1. Instance and app information
  • The full URL of the platform instance
  • Links to relevant apps or other components (i.e. connector, table, etc.)
  • If applicable, the release version number of your instance (see the Account Settings page) or tulip player (click Player Menu --> About)
  1. Description of the request
  • What is the expected behavior?
  • What is the actual behavior?
  • Screenshots of behavior, error messages, etc.
  1. Timeline of events
  • When was the behavior first observed?
  • How long has the behavior persisted?
  • Were there any relevant changes made prior that may be related to the behavior? If so, when did these occur?
  1. Impact of the request
  • How many users are impacted?
  • What is the degree of impact?

NOTE: You should only designate issues as Urgent when they pertain to significant interruptions, such as production downtime or scenarios of comparable severity.

Additional Information

For more complex issues such as bug reports, connector function errors, OPCH-related issues, unexpected behavior, and system failures it is helpful to provide more detailed information along with the basic information above.

  1. Browser Console Logs
    Console logs from your browser can provide more detailed insights about the issue. To access the browser (Chrome and Firefox) console for real-time error logs: right-click on the page, select Inspect Element, and then select Console. For more detailed instructions please refer to: How to Open the Developer Console.
    For Tulip player-related issues, you should provide the player logs. See Capture Player Logs.
  • Tulip Player app logs from a local device storage. These store Events, Errors and Debugging logs over a longer time. For Windows these logs are stored in the directory: %appdata%/Tulip Player/tulip/log
  1. On-premise Connector Host (OPCH) logs
    For issues related to connectors using your OPCH or the OPCH itself, the logs from that OPCH at the appropriate timestamp are useful for our support team. These logs contain detailed records of events, user behaviors, and potentially critical information for resolving system issues.

  2. Specific Information for Certain Issues
    For issues related to specific features of the platform, dig into the relevant section of our support documentation to first troubleshoot the issue and also obtain necessary logs. Example Documentation:

Remember: The more detailed information you provide, the easier it will be for the support team to understand and address your problem effectively. Include as much detail as possible, even if it seems small. Each piece of information can be crucial in resolving the issue.

1. Support Request via Tulip Instance

Customers have the ability to submit a Support Request ticket directly from a Tulip Instance. This method is best suited for:

  • Critical Issue affecting production (ie. requires immediate solution)
  • Bug reports
  • Questions that involve reviewing confidential information and thus cannot be publicly discussed in Tulip Community
