Support vs. Success Responsibilities
Topic | Technical Support | Customer Success |
|---|---|---|
Primary Focus | Platform functionality & troubleshooting | Workflow optimization & business strategy |
Best For | “How do I…?” questions, errors, bugs, configuration help | “How should I…?” questions, best practices, planning |
Examples | Fixing upload issues, adjusting settings, resolving errors | Improving workflow, planning for growth, optimizing usage |
Contact Method | Your assigned CSM | |
Response Type | Tactical, issue‑focused | Strategic, goal‑focused |
Involvement in Bugs | Yes — Support handles all troubleshooting | No — CSMs redirect technical issues to Support |
Involvement in Strategy | Limited — only as needed for context | High — CSMs partner with you on long‑term success |
Advanced Options / Additional Rules
Technical Support focuses on how the platform is designed to work.
Customer Success focuses on how you can best use the platform to achieve your goals.
If a request touches both areas (e.g., workflow strategy + technical configuration), Support and CSMs collaborate internally.
Support is always the safest starting point if you’re unsure.
