When to Contact Support vs. Self-Service

Decide when to troubleshoot vs. contact support. What to try first, when to escalate, what info to include with support.

What You're Trying to Do

You're not sure whether to keep troubleshooting yourself or contact support for help.

Quick Solution (2 minutes)

Use this decision tree:

Try Self-Service First For:

  • Learning to ask better questions → Use our questioning guides

  • Understanding Zoë's responses → Check our interpretation guides

  • Basic data model setup → Follow our setup tutorials

  • Common error messages → Search our help articles

Potential local network issue: If Zenlytic errors appear inconsistent, intermittent, or happen mostly during slower requests, try switching networks or testing on a more stable connection before going deeper. A weak or unstable Wi‑Fi connection can sometimes interrupt requests and surface as product errors.

Contact Support Immediately For:

  • Data warehouse connection failures that persist after trying our connection guide

  • Cannot access Zenlytic platform or login issues

  • Data security concerns or unexpected access to sensitive information

  • Performance issues where Zoë is consistently slow or unresponsive

Contact Support After Trying Self-Service For:

  • Data model deployment issues that persist after checking our Git guide

  • Metric calculations that don't match after following our validation steps

  • Complex join problems not covered in our basic join guide

  • Advanced permissions setup beyond basic user attributes

When You Contact Support, Include:

For Technical Issues:

  • What you were trying to do

  • Steps you already tried

  • Exact error messages (screenshots help!)

  • When the issue started

For Data Issues:

  • Specific metrics or tables involved

  • Expected vs. actual results

  • Date ranges being queried

  • Your data warehouse type
