Which product is it for?*: Please select the part of the Firstbird product you would like to create a ticket for. The number of listed options are dependent on the user role you've selected above. If you skipped this and didn't add a user role, all possible options for our product will be listed within the dropdown menu (same as for "Firstbird Admin"). Fewer options to choose from will be displayed for the roles "Recruiter" and "Employees". Only one option per request can be chosen. This field is only visible when selecting "Firstbird Web App".
Which part/s of the integration?*: For this field, multiple selections are possible. This field is only visible when selecting "Firstbird Integration".
Browser*: Some technical problems are browser specific. Therefore it's necessary for us to know in which browser you are using Firstbird. This field is only visible when selecting "Firstbird Web App".
Operating System*: Same for operating system: Some technical problems only occur in specific operating systems. Therefore it's necessary for us to know which operating system you're using on your smartphone. This field is only visible when selecting "Firstbird2Go Mobile App".
Smartphone*: Yes! Technical problems can be smartphone specific as well. This field is only visible when selecting "Firstbird2Go Mobile App".
Subject*: Please state here in keywords the technical problem you would like to submit. As soon as you finish entering the first keyword, the system will suggest some Help Centre articles below. It's worth it to take a close look at these to see if you can find the solution to your problem within an article or the FAQ section at the end of the page.
As soon as you click on an article, you will leave the form and all your entries will not be saved! To prevent this from happening, hold down the “STRG” when clicking on the link.
Description*: Please enter a brief description of the steps that have been executed up until the point that the error message appeared.
Attachments*: Screenshots of error messages can be uploaded here. Please always take screenshots of the whole browser window and not only the error message. Ideally you would upload a screenshot that includes the developer console as well.
Submit: Thank you for your time! To submit the request, click on the button "Submit".

Developer Console
Detailed error codes are placed in what is called the developer console. Viewing this console will help us to figure out the core issue of a bug. It would be great if this developer console was visible in the screenshot you send us as well.
You can easily open this console in your browser (Chrome, Firefox and IE) as follows:
- Hit the button "F12" (on your keyboard) when the error in Firstbird appears
- The console will open up at the bottom or at the side of your browser
- Click on "Console" in the developer console
Please send the screenshot of the whole browser (including the address bar) and a description of the problem via our support form.
