Overview
Cavallo's support website features a Helpcenter with a vast library of support articles and videos. Search our existing documentation first if you are experiencing a problem with one of Cavallo's products.
If you are unable to find the help you need in our Helpcenter and you are a Cavallo partner, or a customer who is up-to-date on your Enhancement subscription, you can submit a ticket, start a chat message by clicking ellipses on the bottom right-hand side of this screen, or call our team at (616) 245-1221, option 1.
Support hours are Monday-Friday 8am-5pm EST. If you are experiencing an urgent issue outside of business hours, please reference our after-hours support section located at the end of this article.
Searching Documentation
When searching our documentation for an article or video, use strategic keywords and phrases to find what you're looking for.
When typing individual keywords into our search bar, our site will look for documents that contain any of those keywords, but not necessarily together. For example, if you were to type the words sales, batch, and processing into the search bar, the search results would include documents that contain those words in any order or combination.
In many cases, searching against a particular phrase is more useful. To search a phrase, contain the words of the phrase in quotation marks. So, in our example, if you type "sales batch processing" into the search bar, the search results will only include documents that contain those words in that order.
If you read one of our articles or watch a tutorial and you have any feedback on the content, let us know by leaving a comment on the page. We're always working to keep our documentation up-to-date and reliable.
Using the Helpcenter
Starting a Conversation
To submit a support ticket with the Helpcenter, sign in to a Helpcenter account. Click Sign in in the upper right-hand corner of the Support Helpcenter to get started.
A new account can be created by clicking Need an account? Sign up. and following the on-screen prompts.
After signing in, new tickets can be created by clicking Start a conversation in the upper right-hand corner. From there, select the desired Cavallo product from the list and fill out the ticket with information to help the support team understand how best to assist with the issue. If possible, please upload full-screen screenshots in the Upload files section.
Note: As information is entered on a new ticket, the Helpcenter will suggest existing support documents related to the topic of the ticket. Be sure to review these resources, as they may contain answers or insight into a solution for the ticket.
To ensure that issues are looked at within a reasonable timeframe, we assign a priority to every ticket. When determining the priority of an issue, we use the following guide:
(Highest) 1 - You cannot perform critical business processes
2 - Critical business processes are severely impacted
3 - Major issue, but it is not impacting your ability to conduct business
(Lowest) 4 - Minor issue with little to no impact on your day-to-day processes
Based on the priority given to a ticket, you can expect a reply/resolution within the timeframes listed below:

The Conversations screen will display a list of all cases created with Cavallo, allowing future reference in the event an issue occurs again in the future.

For quick questions that may not require screenshots or large amounts of detail, the Helpcenter chat utility is an excellent way to contact Cavallo Support. Start a chat by clicking on the orange button in the lower right-hand corner of the screen, then click Start a conversation
Type the message in the text field, and click the send button to submit. The expected response time for chat messages is 10 minutes.

The most effective way to begin troubleshooting an issue is to call our Support Team. They can be reached at (616) 245-1221, option 1, or our toll-free number (800) 935-5660. While on a phone call, Support Specialists can gather information on a remote session, determine the scope of the issue, and take the necessary steps toward finding a resolution.
After Hours Support
Even though our offices are closed, we are obsessed with our customers' success! If your company is not able to perform key business functions, submit a ticket with the keyword 'Urgent' and you'll be contacted by a team member within 30 minutes, up to 8pm EST Mon-Fri.
Contact your sales rep if you anticipate requiring Support's assistance outside of business hours. We ask for a minimum of two weeks' notice to accommodate your request.

Email from a support ticket points to this page https://support.salespad.com/article/2266-contacting-salespad-support
This page is about how to get help. If I've successfully opened a support ticket then I've already reached out for help. Perhaps the the link in the ticket notification email should instead point to search or other documentation. Something that's a second step instead of an article on how to open a ticket.
Also, on this page there's some links that are not very useful. Seems they'd be better to point elsewhere. A few examples:
'support website' points to https://www.salespad.com/ instead of a support section which based on the link title is what a user would expect expect.
'search our existing documentation' reloads this page with an anchor tag https://support.salespad.com/article/2266-contacting-salespad-support#search.
An anchor tag link within the same or similarly positioned paragraph is confusing as they appear to do nothing. Other anchor links that point deeper within the page have with varying practical usefulness.
Consider repointing some of these links to point to opening a ticket, chat, or a documentation search.
And yes I recognize this is a whole lotta whining but #hopefullyhelpful nitpickery
