Introduction

When the time comes that you need to reach out to support for assistance, it is good to understand how to best work with the support team to expedite the solutions we can provide given the general urgency surrounding our business. 

Engaging Support

See knowledge article Support Center: Contact Us.

For more information see the Everbridge Technical Support Services Guide. 

Information to Supply When Logging a Case

• Account Name
• Organization ID
• If the issue is a delivery issue: 
  • Notification ID 
  • Contact involved in the unexpected behavior
  • Contacts delivery method involved in the unexpected behavior 
• A statement providing Everbridge permission to access your system in order to troubleshoot your issue

Security Considerations

• If troubleshooting activities require access to your data that is hosted on Everbridge systems, Everbridge will request permission to view your data. Best practices are to provide this permission for each case, however, with written permission from Account Administrators, exceptions can be accommodated. Contact your Account Manager for details. 
• Everbridge Technical Support will assist users/contacts with system access requests by guiding them through the use of "Forgot Username"/"Forgot Password" links.
  • If the "Forgot Username"/"Forgot Password" links fail to resolve the access request for the user/contact, they will be referred to Organization Administrators. 
  • Everbridge Technical Support will be available to assist Organization Administrators with access requests for their users/contacts that are not resolved with "Forgot Username"/"Forgot Password" links.
  • NOTE: For most Everbridge products, you own the data that is stored within our system. Everbridge is bound by security rules for compliance certifications and is unable to access anyone's system without their express permission.  Reaching out to your Administrator is required in all cases where you are unable to reset the password yourself.
• Everbridge Technical Support will guide Everbridge Account Administrators through the process of creating user accounts but will not create the accounts for them. In the event there is no Everbridge Account Administrator, Technical Support will work with you and your Everbridge Account Manager (AM) to facilitate the creation of an Everbridge Account Administrator.
• Everbridge Technical Support uses Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) when accessing customer data.
