Communication channels for partners
This page is for everyone in a partner company. Picking the right channel gets faster answers and keeps knowledge public where it helps others.
Which channel for which purpose
Etiquette
- Search first. The help, the forums and closed issues often already have the answer.
- One question, one place. Do not post the same question in five channels.
- No customer data in public. Replace names, e-mail addresses and URLs of customers' private systems with placeholders (Protecting customer data).
- No advertising in support channels. Help is what earns trust; a link to your services under every answer does not.
- Follow up. When a forum thread or issue is solved, say how. Others will find it.
- Use English in the shared channels unless a channel says otherwise, so the most people can help.
Response expectations
Community channels are answered by volunteers and staff when they can: "its developers are not obligated to provide free support" (https://exponential.earth/support). Response times are promised only for partner tickets at your level (Support levels and response times).
