1. Issue Resolution Process

When a customer submits an issue via Intercom or email:

  • Triage & Acknowledgment — Within SLA based on severity (see SLA document)

  • Assignment — Handled by on-call or support engineer

  • Fix or Workaround — Most production issues are resolved via CI/CD hotfixes the same day

  • Root Cause — P1 issues trigger formal RCA within 5 business days

Customers can view status updates directly in the chat or receive email updates if out of session.

2. Sandbox Environment Availability

Chain offers dedicated sandbox environments for:

  • TMS integration testing

  • API experiments or simulations

  • Custom validation workflows

| Request access during onboarding or via support.

Sandboxes mirror production behavior but are isolated from live data. They support most webhook, API, and UI workflows.

3. Versioning & Release Management

Chain is built on a CI/CD pipeline with daily production deployments. Updates are:

  • Automatically deployed to all tenants (no manual upgrades required)

  • Non-breaking by default — backward compatibility is respected

  • Communicated monthly via Release Notes

4. Product Roadmap Access

Chain shares its roadmap and upcoming feature areas with customers via:

  • Monthly Release Notes (past and upcoming)

  • Dedicated roadmap calls with CSMs or the Product team

  • Optional roadmap preview spaces (currently in Google Driver but will move to Notion or Intercom-hosted)

Customers are encouraged to submit product feedback and upvote features in the roadmap workspace.

5. Where to Get Help

  • In-app Intercom widget (top of the application, click the question mark icon)

  • Emailsupport@trychain.com or your CSM directly

  • Slack — enterprise customers can request to be added to our Slack channels for real-time, enterprise support
