Scenarios in detail
When additional information is required from a customer
In this scenario, when additional information is needed from a customer, the following steps are taken:
- The engineer sends an update requesting information and the case status is set to “Pending Response”.
- On the 1st, 3rd, & 5th day following the status being set to “Pending response”, follow up notifications are sent to the customer requesting the additional information.
- If there is no response from the customer for 6 days after the status was set to “Pending Response”, the case is set to closed, and a closure notification is sent.
Customers can reopen a closed case on Experience League within 14 days to continue communication. Beyond 14 days, a new support case can be opened to continue communication related to a previously closed case. Note that replying to an email regarding a closed ticket will not reopen it.
When an engineer provides a solution
In this scenario, when an engineer offers a solution, the following steps are taken:
- The engineer sends an update with a proposed solution and the case status is set to “Resolution Provided”.
- On the 1st, 3rd, & 5th day following the status being set to “Resolution Provided”, follow up notifications are sent to the customer requesting confirmation of the solution provided.
- If there is no response from the customer for 6 days after the status was set to “Resolution Provided”, the case is set to closed, and a closure notification is sent.
Customers can reopen a closed case within 14 days to continue communication. Beyond 14 days, a new support case can be opened to continue communication related to a previously closed case.
