*Web Support Includes
Web Support Does Not Include
** Targeted Response Times
For Subscribers subscribing to Priority Support, a member of Algolia’s personnel will respond to errors in the hosted search services according to the schedule indicated below. For the avoidance of doubt, the schedule indicated below refers to responses by Algolia personnel, not automated responses generated by receipt acknowledgment systems.
Response Times
In the Initial Response, Algolia will confirm that the support request was received and taken into account.
For Subscribers with targeted response times, Subscriber shall report the issue through the Support portal and specify the level of severity.
Severity levels are defined as follows:
P0, P1 and P2 do not include issues related to the network between Algolia servers and Subscriber’s data centers.
*** Priority Call Back Support
Requesting a Call
If Subscriber is experiencing a P0/P1 issue, they may receive a Priority Call Back Support call in the form of a meeting or bridge call. A Priority Call Back Support call is designed to ensure that you have clear communication with the Algolia team for expedited response to the level P0/P1 disruption to your search or indexing. P2 issues are not eligible for Priority Call Back Support calls.
To initiate a call, an authorized Subscriber team member must complete a form which Algolia will provide. At that time, they may indicate how they want the call to be facilitated. This message will alert the on-call support team member who will respond to the request within the “Initial Response” time period committed to above.
If no preference is indicated, Algolia will host a call. All calls that Algolia facilitates will be organized by sending a Zoom invitation along with a proposed time.
If the Subscriber prefers an Algolia team member join a bridge call or other meeting instead, they must specify the time they wish to meet (no earlier than the commitment in the “Initial Response” time above) and include a link to the meeting they plan to host. Algolia supports joining Subscriber-hosted meetings on any of the following platforms:
Zoom
Microsoft Teams
Google Meet
Cisco Webex
Call Attendees
Priority Call Back calls are limited to only team members at Subscriber and Algolia for confidentiality purposes. Third party contractors subject to confidentiality obligations are also permitted to join an Priority Call Back Support call upon prior written notice in the initial call request.
A member of Algolia’s team will introduce themselves as the Communication Lead for the call. They are the person who will be leading the communication between our teams for your incident. If possible, they will be joined by an additional Support team Member who will be providing extra assistance. The Communication Lead will be a Developer Support Engineer; however, the team of engineers ultimately working to resolve your issue will not be on Priority Call Back Support calls. They will receive feedback and instruction from the Communication Lead.
How the Call Works
The first priority will be gathering an understanding of the issue and how it is impacting you.
Next, the Communication Lead will outline the steps we are taking to address the issue and discuss any outstanding concerns they may have missed. Please note that it's very rare that immediate solutions can be offered on an initial call; instead the Communications Lead is trained to gather the information we need to work on the issue alongside our other Engineering teams.
Once the next steps are identified we will then provide a short summary of our understanding of the issue, the next steps we are going to take, and end the call. The Communication Lead will send you a follow-up message on your ticket that again summarizes the issues and the steps we are taking.
This initial Priority Call Back Support call will last 30 minutes on average, with a hard stop at one hour so that we can focus on issue resolution
Additional Support Terms
Algolia will periodically update Subscriber on the progress of the issue within the response time commitments as described above. In case there is an issue requiring Algolia to join a subsequent call, you may request that using the same dedicated form. Algolia will maintain communication until the issue is resolved, sending any information we get from our team as soon as possible.
Algolia may ask to record the call for training purposes; this is entirely optional.
If additional calls are required, they will be at Algolia’s discretion and upon agreement of the parties.
Algolia reserves the right to end a call or meeting if it is determined that the issue is not a P0 or P1 issue as defined above. Algolia also reserves the right to end a call or meeting if there is any harassing, abusive, demeaning, or otherwise inappropriate language or behavior.
Eligibility and Software Maintenance
Algolia generally recommends to use the latest version of Algolia integrations, frameworks, API Clients and other libraries.
