How to Contribute
Our website includes various types of technical documentation. We try to provide sufficient detail to give all the necessary information to the reader but there is always a margin for improvement. You can help by contributing to:
- The developers API documentation used by engineers during the integration process.
- The user guide that provides users with assistance on how to use the HubRise Platform.
- The documentation created for every integrated app to help connecting and troubleshooting.
Contributors
Anyone is welcome to contribute. Editors of integrated apps are proactively encouraged to review and keep its content updated but any HubRise users or stakeholders are welcome to give feedback. Motivation to contribute varies. It could be:
- To make users of connected apps more autonomous.
- To update the apps documentation with a new feature.
- To help support teams troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
- Or to document frequently asked questions and avoid answering the same questions over and over again.
Process

A simple email can be sent but all our technical documentation is available in a public repository. If you are familiar with GitHub you can edit the page yourself and submit a Pull Request. The documentation has been written in Markdown. Your suggested modifications will be reviewed by the HubRise team.
