Open support requests
Important
Support processes:
Existing: This is the current support request creation process in Services Hub, and the experience that most customers use.
Enhanced: This is the new self-help support creation process that some customers can access.
AI-assisted pilot: This is the new AI-assisted self-help support creation process that some customers can access.
Services Hub normally has only one support request creation process. However, as we work to build a better overall experience, there are temporarily three experiences a customer can have for creating a new support request. You might have visibility to the two newest experiences, depending on if your organization has already been onboarded to the new capabilities. We'll continue adding more customers to the new capabilities in the coming months.
Select the correct experience
At the top of this article, you can see a row of three selectors:
These allow you to select the correct set of instructions for your support request creation experience. Here's how to identify which set of instructions you need:
