FAQs

How long does it take to get a response?

Response times vary based on issue severity. Critical issues get responses within 2-4 hours. Standard issues typically get a response within 24-48 hours. During weekends and holidays, response times may be longer.

What if I don't get a response?

Check your spam folder for the response email. If you don't see anything after 48 hours, send a follow-up email referencing your original ticket number.

Can I call support?

Email [email protected] is the primary support channel. Some organizations have a dedicated administrator who can escalate phone support requests.

Should I contact my administrator or Empuls support?

Contact your administrator first for questions about how your organization configured Empuls or about company-specific settings. Contact Empuls support for technical issues, bugs, or general platform questions.

What if my issue is urgent?

Clearly mark "URGENT" in your subject line and explain the business impact. Urgent issues (system unavailability, account lockout) get priority handling.

Tips for Effective Support Tickets

  • Be Specific: Vague descriptions like "it's not working" are harder to debug. Provide exact steps and error messages.

  • Include Context: When did this start? Does it happen to others or just you? Did you recently change anything in your profile or account?

  • One Issue Per Ticket: If you have multiple unrelated issues, create separate tickets so each can be tracked independently.

  • Provide Screenshots: If relevant, take a screenshot of the issue and attach it to your email. Screenshots help support understand exactly what you're seeing.

  • Check Previous Responses: If support asks for clarification, respond to their email rather than creating a new ticket. This keeps all communication in one thread.

  • Follow Instructions: If support asks you to try specific troubleshooting steps, report back with the results, even if they don't work.

Troubleshooting Before Contacting Support

Try these common solutions before reaching out:

πŸ” Can't see a colleague's profile

  • Verify they're in your organization (not a different company using Empuls)

  • Check your privacy settings β€” you may have filtered visibility

  • Search for them by full name or email address

πŸ‘ Recognition isn't appearing

  • Refresh your browser or close and reopen Empuls

  • Clear your browser cache

  • Check if the recognition is pending approval (if your organization requires it)

  • Verify the colleague received a notification

🎁 Earning credits but rewards are unavailable

  • Check if rewards are available in your region or country

  • Verify you have sufficient credits for the reward you want

  • Contact your administrator about reward availability

πŸ“± Mobile app isn't working

  • Update to the latest version from your device's app store

  • Force close and restart the app

  • Uninstall and reinstall the app

  • Ensure you're connected to the internet

πŸ‘₯ Can't find a group

  • Search by group name in the Groups section

  • Check if the group is private and requires approval to join

  • Ask your administrator if the group is still active

Escalating Your Issue

If your issue hasn't been resolved to your satisfaction:

  1. Follow up with support referencing your original ticket number

  2. Mark the follow-up as "ESCALATION REQUEST"

  3. Explain what troubleshooting you've done and why the initial solution didn't work

  4. Ask to be escalated to a senior support specialist

  5. Escalations are reviewed within 24 hours

Next Steps

If you don't need support right now:

  1. Bookmark [email protected] for quick access

  2. Familiarise yourself with the Empuls Help Center

  3. Ask your administrator if there's company-specific support available

  4. Join a support or help group in Empuls for peer assistance

Getting help quickly means you can get back to engaging with your Empuls community. πŸš€
