Named Support Contacts

Each Urban Airship Support customer is required to furnish a list of support contacts, for the purpose of identifying the customer’s Named Support Contacts. This list helps Urban Airship and our customers by ensuring continuance of communications for each case, as well as an increase in shared knowledge between each customer and the support team.

  • Essential Care support contracts include 2 (2) Named Support Contacts.
  • Premium Care support contracts include 4 (4) Named Support Contacts.

Urban Airship also requests that each customer identify a Support Contact Administrator, so that we may contact that individual in the event that one of the other Named Support Contacts becomes unavailable after opening a case. The Support Contact Administrator will be able to update the Named Support Contacts for their organization. The Support Contact Administrator may be one of the Named Support Contacts for the organization, but this is not required. It is the customer’s responsibility to keep contact information for all Named Support Contacts up to date. A customer may request to change a Named Support Contact at any time, however, please be aware that requests may take up to 5 business days to complete.

New support cases will only be accepted from Named Support Contacts. When receiving support requests from non-Named Support Contacts, Urban Airship will redirect those support requests to the Named Support Contacts for the organization.

While it is not required at this time, it is strongly recommended that the Named Support Contacts be trained in using and administering the Urban Airship products being used.
