Contacting PayCanvas Support

Send a useful, privacy-safe support request and know what information to include or leave out.

Email PayCanvas Support with a short description and safe reference details. Do not send payroll files, credentials, or identifiable pay information unless support provides an approved secure transfer path.

Contact options

The workspace's Help Center link opens these public guides. It is not a support ticket or live chat. Booking a setup review also does not submit a support incident; email for an existing-account problem.

Prerequisites

Collect only privacy-safe context:

  • account or tenant name;
  • payroll period dates;
  • page or workflow step;
  • safe error code or audit/reference hash;
  • approximate timestamp and timezone;
  • whether the issue is repeatable;
  • MCP client name, if applicable.

Send a support request

  1. Use a subject such as Source collection failed — Aug 1–14 — Acme Tours.
  2. Describe what you expected and what happened.
  3. Include the safe context above.
  4. State whether you already retried and which offered action you used.
  5. For your own access issue, include your sign-in email and the account you expected to access. Do not attach a team roster or someone else's personal information.
  6. For suspected security or cross-tenant exposure, put Security in the subject and stop interacting with the affected data.

Do not send

  • passwords, MFA codes, access tokens, authorization codes, API keys, or provider credentials;
  • full payroll reports or provider payloads;
  • customer or employee personal information;
  • private employee mappings or compensation details;
  • screenshots that show identifiable payroll amounts unless support provides an approved secure transfer path.

Redact screenshots and files before attaching them. Prefer a safe reference code over a raw record.

Expected result

Your email should provide enough safe context for support to investigate the account's audit or job evidence. Sending a request does not itself fix access, restart a job, or change payroll. The example business name above is fictional.

No response-time or resolution-time SLA is currently published in the product. Do not delay an internal payroll contingency solely because a support request was sent.

Troubleshooting

  • The booking page is unavailable: email hello@paycanvas.io with your setup question; do not send payroll data.
  • You received a request for a password or token: do not provide it; start a new email to hello@paycanvas.io to verify the request.
  • Immediate MCP revocation is needed: disconnect locally, then ask support to revoke the server-side operator grant. Include the client name and connection time, never the token.
  • Payroll deadline is near: follow your organization's approved downstream payroll contingency while PayCanvas investigates; PayCanvas does not submit or pay payroll.
