Getting the right support at the right time helps you move faster and solve problems efficiently. This guide explains which support channel to use based on your needs and membership tier.
When to Use Intercom Support
Use Intercom for technical issues only—problems related to how the platform works or isn't working as expected.
Examples of Intercom-appropriate issues:
Platform bugs or errors
Login or access problems
Features not functioning correctly
Intercom connects you with technical support specialists who can troubleshoot platform-specific problems and escalate bugs to the development team.
When to Ask in Slack
Slack is your primary channel for strategy questions, implementation guidance, and ongoing support. Your access level depends on your membership tier.
Who has Slack access:
Launchpad members: Unlimited access to executives and top experts
Accelerator members: Unlimited access to leaders and directors
Incubator members: Limited access through designated channels
Best practices for Slack support:
Post questions in public channels rather than DMs for better visibility and faster responses
Tag specific team members if you need priority attention
Use channels for strategy, deliverables review, and implementation questions
While DMs are allowed, posting in channels helps other members learn from your questions and creates a searchable knowledge base for the community.
When to Join Zoom Breakout Rooms
Zoom breakout rooms provide live, one-to-one support for real-time problem-solving and deliverables review. These replace traditional scheduled one-to-one sessions with drop-in availability.
Availability by tier:
Launchpad: Access to executives, 6am–10pm ET, Monday–Friday
Accelerator: Access to leaders and directors, 8am–6pm ET, Monday–Friday
How breakout rooms work:
Join any open breakout room during available hours
Concierges will direct you to the right expert based on your needs
No appointment needed—just drop in when you need support
Use for live troubleshooting, deliverables review, or immediate questions
You don't have to wait for scheduled sessions. If you have questions or need clarification, jump into a breakout room for immediate one-to-one support.

How to Book Special Ops Calls
Special Ops calls give you access to senior team members for intensive one-to-one sessions. The Special Ops team includes senior leaders who maintain open calendars specifically for member support.
When to book a Special Ops call:
You need more support than breakout rooms provide
You don't understand how to access drop-in sessions or breakout rooms
You need to speak with senior directors beyond the standard support team
You require escalation or specialized assistance
Special Ops availability:
Launchpad members: 6am–10pm ET (14-hour daily availability)
Accelerator members: 8am–6pm ET (10-hour daily availability)
Special Ops team members keep their calendars open throughout these hours specifically to support members who need intensive assistance or escalation.
How to book:
If you're on Launchpad or Accelerator and need a Special Ops session, message the team to schedule your call. If you're unsure how to book or need immediate assistance, jump into a breakout room and the concierge can connect you with the Special Ops team.
