When the ticket is created, a copy of your conversation history with the Support Assistant will be included automatically. 

Use the Support Request form to include additional information, for example, screenshots or a Loom video recording. Providing as much information as possible will assist the Support Team with analysing your query more efficiently.

Click Submit to send the request to the Support Team. A confirmation message will briefly display, and you will then be redirected back to FYI. An email will also be sent to the email address identified during your conversation with the Support Assistant. 

The Support Team will continue the conversation via email.

FYI Support User Accounts

As part of investigating a query, the Support team may need to log into your FYI database. 

A new user account will be added to your list of FYI users under Practice Settings - General - Users. These users can be identified by the name of the Support agent (look for "(FYI)" after their name). The user's email address will contain "fyidocs.com" or "fyi.app". 

Note: The FYI Support User may appear in your active user list when creating an Email or using Workflow.

This access is only temporary while they investigate your issue and will be removed at the end of each day.

The FYI Support user account will not be added to your licences, and will not increase your fees.
