Help Station

Railway conducts its support over our Help Station platform.

It hosts our community of 500,000+ users and developers. It is where you can find answers to common questions, ask questions, and get in touch with the Railway team.

Please ensure that you've searched for your issue before creating a new thread, follow the guidelines in How To Ask For Help, and abide by our Code of Conduct.

Priority Threads

For Pro plan users, threads created in the Help Station are treated as High Priority. These threads are guaranteed a response from the Railway team within 1 business day (if community members are unable to help).

We pay special attention to threads created by Pro users and ensure that questions or concerns are resolved in a timely manner.

For teams and companies requiring SLOs and higher-priority support over chat, sign up for Business Class.

Private Threads

You create a Private Thread on Help Station if you need to share sensitive information, such as invoices or personal data. Private Threads are only visible to you and Railway employees.

Private Threads have a slower response time (at most 2 business days) because only Railway employees can see them. We recommend you to only create a Private Thread if you need to share sensitive information.

We may make the thread public for community involvement if we determine that there is no sensitive information in your thread.

Discord

We have a vibrant Discord community of over 20,000+ users and developers. You can find the Railway Discord at https://discord.gg/railway.

Please ask your questions in the ✋ ｜ help channel, and refrain from pinging anyone with the Team or Conductor roles.

Slack

Railway offers non-SLO Slack channels to companies and prospective customers of planned significant use. Customers can raise issues, coordinate their migration over to the platform, and provide feedback within a Slack connect channel.

Sufficiently adopted Pro Workspaces can create a Slack Connect channel for their team and the Railway team within the Workspace settings page.

Slack Account Linking

The Railway team is building out functionality to natively conduct support operations within Slack connect channels. Connecting your Slack Account to your Railway Account allows the team to get insight into issues affecting your workloads. To link your Slack account to your Railway account, you can navigate to your Account settings page on Railway and follow the instructions provided.

Permissions - Railway only asks for permissions to link your Slack ID and your Workspace ID, we can't see any messages outside of the Slack Connect channel if you have one set up.

How To Ask For Help

When you reach out for help, it's important that you help us help you! Please include as much information as you can, including but not limited to:

• Description of the issue you're facing
• IDs (Project ID, Service Name/ID, Deployment ID, etc.)
• Railway environment of your service/deployment
• Error messages and descriptions
