Updated this week

Executive Summary

Opening and tracking a support ticket in PyjamaHR ensures your issues are resolved efficiently and transparently. This guide covers the exact steps to raise a ticket, how to monitor its progress, and best practices for getting the fastest, most effective support—based on real customer scenarios and the latest PyjamaHR workflows.


Detailed Overview

What is a Support Ticket in PyjamaHR?

A support ticket is a formal request for assistance with any issue, question, or feature request related to your PyjamaHR account. Tickets are tracked internally by the PyjamaHR support team, ensuring your concern is logged, assigned, and resolved in a timely manner. This process is essential for:

  • Reporting bugs or platform errors (e.g., job posting issues, account access problems)

  • Requesting feature changes or enhancements

  • Getting help with account setup, billing, or integrations

  • Escalating urgent business-impacting issues

When and Why to Use Support Tickets

  • When self-service (Help Center articles, in-app prompts) does not resolve your issue

  • For issues requiring investigation, follow-up, or engineering intervention

  • To ensure accountability and track the status of your request

  • For urgent matters that impact your ability to use PyjamaHR (e.g., account lockouts, job posting failures)

Integration with Other PyjamaHR Features

  • In-app chat and email support both generate internal tickets

  • Tickets are referenced in follow-up communications and status updates

  • Some issues (like account verification or plan changes) require ticketing for compliance and audit trails


Step-by-Step Guide: Opening and Tracking a Support Ticket

Prerequisites

  • You must have a registered PyjamaHR account (any user role)

  • For account-specific issues, have your registered email and company name ready

  • For technical issues, prepare screenshots or screen recordings if possible

How to Open a Support Ticket

  1. Log in to PyjamaHR at https://app.pyjamahr.com.

  2. Click the Chat/Support Icon (usually at the bottom-right corner).

  3. Describe Your Issue Clearly:
    - Include job IDs, error messages, or affected user emails if relevant.
    - Attach screenshots or screen recordings for technical issues.
    - Example: “I am unable to post a job. The ‘Create Job’ button redirects me to the dashboard. See attached screenshot.”

  4. Request Explicitly for a Ticket (optional but helpful):
    - Example: “Please raise a support ticket for this issue.”

  5. Submit Your Message. You’ll receive an automated confirmation that your request has been received.

Method 2: Email Support

  1. Send an Email to [email protected].

  2. Include All Relevant Details:
    - Subject: Brief summary (e.g., “Unable to Access Account – Account Suspended”)
    - Body: Detailed description, steps to reproduce, urgency, and contact number if a call is needed.
    - Attachments: Screenshots, error logs, or recordings.

  3. Wait for Confirmation: You’ll receive an acknowledgment email, and your request will be logged as a ticket.

Method 3: Phone/Zoom/WhatsApp (For Urgent Issues)

  • If your issue is urgent (e.g., account locked, business halted), request a call in the chat or email.

  • Provide your contact number and preferred time for a call.

  • The support team may initiate a Zoom or WhatsApp call and will log the conversation as a ticket for tracking.

How to Track Your Support Ticket

  1. In-App Chat: All updates and responses are visible in your chat history. Look for phrases like “We have created an internal ticket for our team to work on the same. We shall update you once this has been resolved.”

  2. Email: Replies to your original email will include updates, requests for more information, or resolution notices. Reference your original subject line for continuity.

  3. Ticket Numbers: PyjamaHR does not always provide a public-facing ticket number, but you can request one or refer to your chat/email thread for tracking.

  4. Status Updates: The support team will proactively update you when:
    - The issue is being investigated
    - More information is needed
    - The issue is resolved or a workaround is available


Advanced Usage & Best Practices

Power User Tips

  • Be Specific: Include job IDs, candidate names, error messages, and steps to reproduce. This reduces back-and-forth and speeds up resolution.

  • Attach Evidence: Screenshots and screen recordings are highly effective for technical issues.

  • Request Escalation: For business-critical issues, state the urgency and request escalation.

  • Follow Up: If you haven’t received an update within the stated timeframe, reply in the same chat/email thread for continuity.

  • Multiple Issues: Open separate tickets for unrelated issues to avoid confusion and ensure each is tracked properly.

Do’s and Don’ts

Do:
- Use clear, polite language
- Provide all requested information promptly
- Use the same communication channel for follow-ups

Don’t:
- Open duplicate tickets for the same issue (slows down support)
- Share sensitive credentials in chat/email (support will never ask for your password)
- Expect instant resolution for complex issues—some require engineering intervention
