Emailing the Customer Success Team
Once you have submitted a ticket via the Contact Us page and the Customer Success Team responds, you can reply via email.
In order to resolve your request and reported issues as quickly as possible we ask that you only initiate support tickets via the Contact Us page or the Support widget within Octopi.
Submitting initial support tickets and requests via email does not provide vital account information that the team requires to help you and your team resolve issues and requests promptly.

On the Contact Us page, you will find a ticket submission form.

Feature & Enhancement Requests
One of the main benefits of the Octopi system is the real time updates and improvements that are regularly deployed to the software. We don’t operate with different versions or module tiers - so every one of our users and clients across the globe have access to the same features and functionality. Scalability across the client base allows us to pass cost savings onto our client, respond to our clients quicker, and represents a core differentiator. We don’t build new features and enhance our system based on the needs of just one client.
Feature and Enhancement Requests will need to be evaluated and vetted by the Product/Engineering Team and also gauged by Sales and Marketing for feasibility. The requests must align with the vision and planned Octopi roadmap. Feedback and input from our users is valued as it shapes the software and allows us to innovate at a superior pace. We cannot guarantee that all Feature and Enhancement requests can or will be built and deployed to the tool but we always strive to meet your needs.
