Support Tickets - What are They & How to Use Them
In this article, you will learn what tickets are, how to submit tickets, and when to submit tickets.
What are Tickets?
Omni has multiple communication methods available to support you during your business partnership!
Omni strongly recommends the use of tickets to
collect very specific information from you to better support your
business. You create a ticket in 2 ways:
- Interacting with Gig-O-Bot (who creates a ticket
on your behalf).
- Emailing one of Omni’s support departments.
How to Submit Tickets
How do you know when to use the Gig-O-Bot or send an email?
Gig-O-Bot
For any of the following issues or questions, interacting with Gig-O-Bot is best:

- Digital Learning/Certification- questions, attendance
concerns, extensions, technical issues with module, article suggestion
