<p>If it’s an emergency, we’ll reply within 30 minutes and update you every hour until the problem’s fixed.</p>
<p>A problem is only classed as an emergency if:</p>
<ulclass="list list-bullet">
<li>nobody on your team can sign in</li>
<li>a ‘technical difficulties’ error appears when you try to upload a file</li>
<li>a 500 response code appears when you try to send messages using the API</li>
</ul>
<p>We’ll reply during the next working day for any other problems.</p>
