Basic troubleshooting steps

If something isn't working as expected in Smartsupp, try these steps first before contacting support. They resolve the majority of common issues.

1. Refresh the page

Press Ctrl + R (Windows) or Cmd + R (Mac) to reload the Smartsupp dashboard. This fixes most temporary glitches caused by connection interruptions or outdated page content.

2. Clear your browser cookies and cache

Outdated or corrupted cookies can cause login issues, broken layouts, or missing data. To clear them:

  • Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Delete browsing data > Select "Cookies" and "Cached images and files" > Delete data

  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data

  • Microsoft Edge: Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Delete browsing data

Tip: For a quicker fix, you can clear cookies only for app.smartsupp.com directly in your browser's address bar (click the lock icon > Cookies).

3. Try an incognito / private window

Open a new incognito window (Ctrl + Shift + N in Chrome) and log in to Smartsupp there. This helps determine whether the issue is caused by a browser extension, cached data, or a cookie conflict. If Smartsupp works fine in incognito mode, the problem is likely related to your browser settings or extensions.

4. Disable browser extensions

Some browser extensions — especially ad blockers, privacy tools, or VPN extensions — can interfere with Smartsupp. Try temporarily disabling your extensions to see if the issue goes away.

5. Try a different browser

If the issue persists, try accessing Smartsupp from a different browser (e.g. switch from Chrome to Firefox or Edge). This helps isolate whether the problem is browser-specific.

How to report a bug

If the basic troubleshooting steps above don't resolve the issue, please contact our support team. To help us investigate and fix the problem as fast as possible, please include the following information in your report:

Can you reproduce the issue?

Let us know if the issue happens every time or only occasionally. If you can reproduce it consistently, describe the exact steps that lead to the problem. This is the most important piece of information for our team.

Send us a screenshot or screen recording

A visual record is incredibly helpful. You can use:

  • Screenshot: Press Print Screen (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + 4 (Mac) to capture your screen.

  • Screen recording: Use a free tool like Loom or your system's built-in screen recorder (Windows: Xbox Game Bar with Win + G; Mac: Cmd + Shift + 5).

Tip: Make sure the screenshot or video clearly shows the error message, unexpected behavior, or the part of the dashboard where the issue occurs.

Include your system information

Please share the following details so we can better understand your environment:

  • Operating system and version (e.g. Windows 11, macOS Sonoma 14.3)

  • Browser and version (e.g. Google Chrome 124.0). You can find this in your browser's settings under "About".

  • Smartsupp account email you're logged in with

  • URL of the page where the issue occurs (if it's on your website and not in the dashboard)
