How Vome Support works: knowledge base, tickets and your account manager

How does Vome Support work?

Overview

Support is handled by a team based in North America. In most cases you will hear back the same day, and typically within 24 to 48 hours.

There are three ways to get help, and they are worth knowing apart, because picking the right one is usually the difference between an answer in a minute and an answer tomorrow.

1. How do I reach support from inside Vome?

Click Help in the top navigation bar. From there you can:

  • Visit support, which opens the support portal and its knowledge base.
  • Submit a ticket, which sends your question to the team directly.

The portal is also reachable on its own at support.vomevolunteer.com, so you do not have to be logged in to Vome to read it.

2. The knowledge base

Start here. It is the fastest route by a wide margin, and it covers the questions that come up most.

Search it before submitting a ticket. A good proportion of tickets are answered by an article that already exists, and searching first gets you an answer in seconds rather than hours.

3. Submitting a ticket

Use a ticket when you have hit something that looks wrong, or when your question is specific to your account rather than to how a feature works in general.

You can submit a ticket from the portal, and it goes straight to the technical team. You can also see the status of your own tickets there, so you are not left wondering whether it arrived.

Tickets get answered faster when they include what you expected to happen, what happened instead, and where in Vome you were when it happened.

4. Your account manager

When you signed up, an account manager reached out to you by email. They are the right contact for questions about your account, your plan, or how to set something up for the way your organization works.

If you are not sure who yours is, email the support team and ask to be connected.

5. Is the knowledge base available in French?

Yes. Articles are published in English and French, and you can switch language on the portal. A French-speaking administrator gets the French version of the same article rather than a translation of the page around it.

6. Can I book time with someone?

Yes. You can book a free demo if you would rather be walked through something live than read about it.

Summary

  • Reach support from the Help button in the top navigation, or at support.vomevolunteer.com.
  • Search the knowledge base first. It is the fastest answer available.
  • Submit a ticket for anything that looks broken or is specific to your account, and track its status on the portal.
  • Your account manager handles account, plan and setup questions. Email support if you do not know who that is.
  • Articles are available in English and French.
  • Expect a reply the same day in most cases, and typically within 24 to 48 hours.
