Platforms admins and project managers can contact our Support team for help, to report bugs and issues and for certain tasks on the platform. To turn your question into a support ticket you are prompted to contact the Support Team through (in order of importance):

  1. Chat bubble - built-in admin panel - clients are advised to contact us primarily via the chat bubble on the platform.

  2. E-mail - support@govocal.com- E-mails sent to this e-mail address get into the same ticket flow as the chat bubble chats


Optimize your Chatbot & Support experience


In order to efficiently handle questions/issues it is important to understand how the chatbot works and how to communicate effectively so that support can solve or answer your problems as quickly as possible.

The chatbot can be activated both from the backoffice on the platform, as through emailing support@govocal.com, after which it will always forward you to our support team in case the issue would be persistent.

Chatbot efficiency

Our chatbot has exceptional abilities in terms of solving reoccurring problems, so make sure to use it as it will be the fastest response time we can give you. In order to improve our chatbot's capability to get to your problem, pay attention to the following when describing your issue/question:

  • Be specific - Provide clear details about what you're asking to avoid vague or generic responses

  • Use Keywords - Make sure to mention specifically with what features you are experiencing problems, rather than long explanations

  • Stick to One Question - Asking multiple questions at once is confusing for everyone involved, so try to tackle one problem at a time

  • Clarify your goal - If you're troubleshooting, mention what you're trying to achieve

Support Communication

If the chatbot is unable to resolve the issue a member of our support team will follow-up on the issue. In order to efficiently and effectively communicate with the Support Team:

  • Issue/Question summary - A brief description of the problem and your goal

  • Steps Taken - Mention steps you have already taken that weren't working

  • Error Message - If any error messages, let us know through copy-pasting or by sending screenshots

  • Expected vs. Actual outcome - This way our support team can get to understand the context of the problem

Technical Questions Handled by Support

For any platform-related inquiries, whether it's how-to-use, issue troubleshooting or giving feedback, our Support Team is here to assist you as quickly as possible.

What type of inquiries you might have for Support?


You might have a technical question for the Support Team that can not easily be answered or it's a problem that needs some time to investigate or solve. Here's what you can contact us for and how we treat them:

Reporting a Bug

When you report a bug - something doesn't function properly - the Support Team will escalate the issue immediately to our development team and make sure to update you about the progress of the solution.

Raising an Issue

Sometimes things don't block you, but don't fully work as expected, so they can be improved. Those issues are logged by the Support team taken up by the product team. We don't give you a due date when this will be taken up but we'll inform you when it has been taken up.

Asking a Request

When your question is not a question, but a request for something that is not yet built-in the platform you can let the Support Team know and they will record it for future developments.

Asking to perform a Support Task

Some things you want to do on the platform are not (yet) possible to do yourself as an admin because it still requires development skills. For these tasks you can count on our Support and Development team.

Here's the list of Support Tasks asks the Support Team can perform for you + the time we need to take up the task*.

*The time to take up a task will start when we have all the information and data we need and formatted in the right way. If, for instance, the template to import a bulk of offline ideas is not filled in correctly, we need to send it back. When the template is correct and we can proceed, the 'time to take up' will start.
