How to Submit a Support Request or Ticket

The fastest way to get help from the Instinct support team is through the in-app support chat in Instinct EMR or Instinct ITP. You can submit tickets, check their status, and correspond directly with the team—24 hours a day, 7 days a week.


Submit a ticket via the in-app chat (fastest)

  1. Go to Help in the lower-left corner of the navy sidebar.

Select Help to reach the Support team

2. Click Support Chat to start a conversation.

Support chat opens our messaging center

3. Select Ask a Question to open a chat box with the ticketing menu.

Ask a question opens a new chat to communicate directly with the Support team or submit a ticket

4. Select Submit a Ticket from the four options displayed in the chat window:

  • I Have a Question

  • Submit a Ticket

  • Something's Not Working

  • I Have a Product Idea

Initial ticketing menu

5. Choose the appropriate category for your issue, or select Start Over to return to the previous menu.

Available ticket categories

  • New Vital (admin approval needed): Request a new vital to be added to the app. Existing vitals cannot be edited—Instinct will always create a new entry for you.

  • EMR Integrations: Request lab code mapping to an existing product, assistance with a new integration, or API access.

  • Accounts & Invoices (admin approval needed): Request edits to financials that cannot be made in the app. The support team can reopen invoices, move or void transactions, and move visits between patients.

  • Data & Analytics (admin approval needed): Request a data export, schedule a Controlled Substance report (Instinct ITP hospitals only), or submit a "Who Did What" inquiry to investigate changes made in the app. "Who Did What" options include:

    • Who checked in/out or created a visit

    • Who modified a visit

    • Who created or uploaded a chart document

    • Who created a referring vet

    • Who changed a user's role or permissions

    • Who generated an analytic report

  • Training Request: Submit a request form. The training team will follow up as soon as possible.

  • New Feature Idea: Submit feedback on an existing feature or propose a new one. The support team forwards all submissions to the Product and Engineering teams.

  • Everything Else: Request a new Ax mode procedure (these can take up to one month), a new MPL, breed additions or edits, or changes to users or products.

Available categories when Everything Else is selected

6. Complete the form for your selected category, then click Submit. You will receive a confirmation message and ticket number.

Note: Tickets submitted through the in-app chat reach a dedicated team and typically resolve faster than email submissions.


Check the status of an existing ticket

  1. Go to Help in the lower-left corner of the navy sidebar, then click Support Chat.

2. Select Messages in the bottom menu of the chat pop-up to view previous conversations and tickets.

Options in the bottom menu bar of any chat box

3. Find your ticket in the conversation list. The ticket status appears in the conversation thread.

Note: Add follow-up information to an existing ticket by replying directly to that conversation thread.


What to include in tickets and requests for faster resolution

Include the following details to help the support team resolve your request quickly:

  • The specific feature or area where the issue occurred (for example, Tx Sheet, Invoice, or Patient Registration)

  • The patient ID, invoice number, or other relevant identifiers

  • Whether the issue is affecting all users or only one user

  • When the issue started, and how consistently it occurs

  • Your name as it appears in Instinct and role (Staff, Admin, Doctor, etc)
