Mobile and Social Support escalation process

In a case where an issue is too difficult to handle on your own, you may need to escalate it. To escalate, you need to move the conversation to the escalation queues specified below to make sure that they will not get automatically closed on the On Hold queue while you're figuring out the solution. The escalation queues don’t have automation so every conversation will need to be handled individually.

When to escalate

  • If an issue can't be solved on your own and need to be escalated to the product team.
  • If a question get a lot of attention and there is no solution in the Knowledge Base.
  • If a question/comment is sensitive in nature. This may mean that it's related to Mozilla/Firefox brand and/or any team members or current events issues.
  • If a question is related to paid products, including Pocket.

If you find other circumstances that you think need to be escalated, please let any of the admins know.
