Request Workflows

  1. Prioritize the incoming request (see below)

  3. Check our Norwescon 43 Help Wiki Page and FAQ for instructions, if applicable/relevant
  4. Check Airmeet's Knowledge Base, if applicable/relevant
  5. Try looking up their issue on Google
  6. IF after a reasonable attempt you are not able to address their issue please escalate their request (see section below regarding escalating).

Incoming requests
