    • If it’s a time-sensitive request, send a ticket but ALSO email/slack the relevant CAHBIR staff member– they want it on the ticketing system for tracking/business reasons, but recommend reaching out directly for time-sensitive issues, as sometimes the ticketing system may be down or they may not check it etc.
