Support Services
Help desk and break-fix support for Salesforce users, with tiers and response times you define, alongside the support Salesforce itself provides.
Tell us your org count, user count and how support works today. Coverage can include a shift that overlaps the US morning.
Salesforce support services answer users' questions and fix what breaks: login and access problems, failed automation, data errors and broken integrations. Salesforce's own Success Plans cover the platform itself. A partner's support covers your org's configuration, code and integrations, with response times agreed in a service level agreement.
The practice
Support for your org, not just the platform
Techila Global Services is a Salesforce Summit partner. Our support team takes tickets from your users, fixes issues in your configuration, automation, code and integrations, and raises cases with Salesforce when the cause is on the platform side.
What does Salesforce's own support cover, and what does a partner add?
Salesforce sells three Success Plans. Salesforce lists the following on its Success Plans page:
| Plan | How you get it | Support Salesforce lists |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Included in all licenses | Knowledge articles, documentation, Trailhead, the Trailblazer Community and the Help Agent on Salesforce Help |
| Premier | Included with Core, Advanced and Max licenses | A response within 1 hour for business-impacting issues; 24/7 support for business-stopping issues; expert coaching and health checks |
| Signature | Contact your account executive | 24/7 help, including holidays and weekends, with 15-minute response times for critical business-stopping issues; a designated Customer Success Manager; proactive monitoring |
Who handles which Salesforce support request?
| Salesforce support | Partner support | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform outage or product defect | Yes | Raises the case |
| "How do I…" questions from users | Self-service | Yes |
| A Flow or Apex class you built fails | No | Yes |
| Integration with another system breaks | No | Yes |
Salesforce support
- Platform outage or product defect
- "How do I…" questions from users: Self-service
Partner support
- Platform outage or product defect: Raises the case
- "How do I…" questions from users
- A Flow or Apex class you built fails
- Integration with another system breaks
Salesforce support is about the Salesforce platform and products. It does not take over your users' day-to-day questions or fix the Flows, code and integrations your team or a partner built. That is the gap a partner's support service fills, and the two work together: the partner triages, fixes what is in the org, and opens a case with Salesforce when the problem is on the platform.
How should you define support tiers and response times?
Define them before you sign, in your own words, so every ticket is triaged the same way. A common structure is three levels of support and four priorities:
| Priority | Example | What to agree |
|---|---|---|
| P1: critical | Users cannot log in, or orders or cases stop flowing | Response time, hours of cover (business hours or 24/7), and updates until fixed |
| P2: high | A key automation or integration fails for some users | Response time and a target fix time within business hours |
| P3: normal | A report is wrong, a field is missing, a page is slow | Response within the next business day; fix in the next planned release |
| P4: request | A how-to question or a small change | Answered or scheduled; small changes counted against an allowance |
Also agree who can raise tickets, the channels (portal, email, Slack), what counts as a fix versus a change request, and a monthly report of tickets by priority. Level 1 answers users, level 2 fixes configuration and data, and level 3 handles code, integrations and cases raised with Salesforce.
Do you need support services or managed services?
Support services react: a user raises a ticket, someone fixes it. Managed services also plan ahead: release testing, a backlog of improvements and a regular review of the org.
If your org is stable and you mainly need someone to call when something breaks, support is enough. If you also need enhancements and release management each month, see Salesforce managed services. To set up a support agreement, book a discovery call.

Salesforce support questions.
What buyers ask before they choose a Salesforce support provider.
Help desk and break-fix support for Salesforce users: answering questions, fixing access problems, and repairing automation, data, code and integrations that stop working, under agreed response times.
Yes. Salesforce lists three Success Plans: Standard, included in all licenses; Premier, included with Core, Advanced and Max licenses, with a response within 1 hour for business-impacting issues; and Signature, with 15-minute response times for critical business-stopping issues. They cover the platform, not what was built in your org.
Support fixes problems when users raise them. Managed services add planned work: release testing, enhancements from a backlog and regular reviews of the org.
Agree a response time and hours of cover for each priority, from critical outages to how-to questions, plus how often you get updates on open critical tickets. Write the definitions of each priority into the agreement.
Yes. Support usually starts with a review of the org's configuration, code and integrations, so the team knows what it is supporting before the first ticket.
