Check Out Our Improved Support System and Monthly InstallBuilder Version Update

We have been doing a lot of planning to make InstallBuilder even better over the next few months. One thing we identified that would make a difference right away is improving our help desk system. We are happy to announce that, along with our newest monthly InstallBuilder release, we have deployed a new helpdesk system powered by Zendesk that will significantly enhance the user support experience.

With the new system, InstallBuilder customers have an easier path to opening support tickets and keeping them up-to-date. You can now easily comment on or update tickets through both the Zendesk portal and through email. This new system also makes attaching files and screenshots very intuitive- you can attach them to your email or upload them through the portal to have them added to your ticket.

We are excited that this investment in our support infrastructure will make your interactions with our team even more streamlined and efficient than ever!

Tell us what you think

You can continue using the support[at]bitrock.com email address to reach our dedicated support team. An email to that address will automatically generate a new ticket. You might notice slight changes to the look of our support emails, which are a result of the improved system.

If you have already emailed our support, you already have an account- simply navigate to the login screen at support.bitrock.com and click "Get a password."

Have you tried out the new system? We would love to hear from you - feel free to comment on this post or email our support team with your feedback.
