Tours — support playbook
Quick reference for support and customer success teams. Pair it with the /product/tours overview.
Quick classification
| Guest reports… | Likely area |
|---|---|
| Wrong language or blank text | Translation or audio still processing; language selection; published languages on the tour |
| Map not moving or no GPS | Browser location permission; device settings; tour type (outdoor, indoor, or fixed); virtual demo mode |
| Paid but still prompted to pay | Purchase completion; signed-in account matches purchaser; entitlement propagation delay |
| Cannot set a paid price in the dashboard | Organization payments setup not finished |
| Indoor pins on wrong floor | Site plan pages and pin placement; republish or adjust pins after layout changes |
| Distances or directions look wrong | Outdoor routing provider issues; connectivity; stale cached directions |
Checks before escalating
- Organization and roles — Does the user have tour access appropriate for their role? Some workflows limit visibility to assigned contacts only.
- Visibility — Public versus private; confirm the guest opened the link intended for their environment (production versus preview or staging).
- Tour type — Outdoor, indoor, and fixed tours behave differently for GPS, floors, and transitions. The wrong type can create several unrelated-looking symptoms.
- Hidden steps — Steps marked hidden may not appear in the guest progression the same way as visible stops.
- Translations — If languages never finish updating, wait for background translation jobs or retry from the dashboard when appropriate.
- Multi-guest sessions — Collaborative runs depend on room codes and session state; confirm guests joined with the same session details.
Safe dashboard actions
- Duplicate a tour to reproduce issues without editing live guest-facing content.
- Use Visit from the tour list for a demo-friendly entry when GPS should not block testing.
- Reconnect or review payments settings before editing paid tiers if pricing controls appear disabled.
When to escalate internally
- Suspected incorrect charges or reconciliation problems—capture transaction references your payments provider shows and the affected organization.
- Suspected data inconsistencies that persist after refresh and cannot be explained by publishing or translation delays.
- Suspected security concerns around shared session codes or unintended access.
- Widespread outage patterns (maps, directions, or realtime collaboration) affecting multiple organizations.
Share reproduction steps, affected tour identifiers, approximate timestamps, and screenshots where privacy rules allow.
