How do you define priority levels?

You know your business impact best, so you select a priority level when you submit your support ticket. However, a support agent may adjust your priority based on the details of your incident as defined below. 

  • PRIORITY 1, BUSINESS CRITICAL: Includes applications in production only. It represents a complete loss of service or a significant feature that is completely unavailable, and no work-around exists. This does not include development issues or problems in staging environments.
  • PRIORITY 2, DEGRADED SERVICE: Includes intermittent issues and reduced quality of service. A work-around may be available. This does not include development issues or problems in staging environments.
  • PRIORITY 3, GENERAL ISSUE: Includes product questions, feature requests, and development issues.

The speed of our Support team’s response time depends on the priority level, your email package, and how your plan works with our business hours. Priority 1 incidents now include 24/7 email and phone support for Twilio SendGrid’s Email API Pro, Premier, and Marketing Campaigns Advanced packages.

Twilio SendGrid is committed to being your partner in email delivery customer support.

These clear support response times ensure your integration, troubleshooting, and incident handling processes are painless.
