Support
Support channels
All three channels are accessible from the Help menu in the top-right of the portal.
Community forum
- Link: forum.elice.io
- Hours: open for posts 24/7
- Best for: usage, configuration, and best-practice questions. You can search for how other users solved the same problem and gather a range of opinions from the community.
Customer center (Channel Talk)
- Link: the Help menu in the top-right of the portal, or the chat button in the bottom-right
- Hours: weekdays 10:00 – 18:00 (excluding lunch 12:00 – 13:00)
- Best for: incidents on running VMs, connectivity issues, anomalies, and other technical problems that need an immediate look, as well as non-technical questions like quotes, contracts, and payments. You'll get the fastest response during business hours.
- Messages left outside business hours are answered on the next business day.
Email
- Link: support@elice.io
- Hours: same as Channel Talk (weekdays 10:00 – 18:00, excluding lunch 12:00 – 13:00)
- Best for: when you need to attach many files (logs, screenshots, reproduction steps) or share a long context. You can also leave a message outside business hours and pick up the reply later.
What to include in your inquiry
If you include the items below, the team can reproduce and diagnose your issue right away without back-and-forth, which dramatically shortens resolution time. Include as many as you can, even if you can't gather them all.
- VM ID — from the detail page URL, or the ID shown on screen
- Organization identifier — the identifier you enter at sign-in
- Full error message — a screenshot, or text including response codes and payloads
- Reproduction steps — the steps that lead to the problem
- Time of occurrence — timestamp plus timezone (e.g. KST)
- What you've already tried — if you've already taken steps to fix it
