Customer portal

Support

Support gives customers a direct fallback from blocked documents, payment pending and access pending states.

Customer support

Ask staff to review a blocker

Support is the safe route when document review, payment evidence, agreement evidence or access setup is pending. The request gives staff context without changing those records.

Draft only

Expected response

Staff follow-up

Tortoise staff reply through approved contact channels after reviewing the request.

Offline/stale state

Do not rely on cached status

If the app is offline or the state looks stale, support can help confirm what changed before you travel to site.

What this cannot do

No finality

A support draft cannot approve documents, mark payment paid, sign an agreement or release access.

Portal help pilot

Ask approved FAQ questions

Read-only answers come from approved help content through a fake AI port. The pilot cannot change payment, booking, access, agreement or account data.
