## Tips for a Good Feature Request

A clear, detailed request helps the product team understand your needs and prioritize effectively. Where possible, include:

* The **specific outcome** you're trying to achieve, not just the feature name
* Your **current workflow** and where it falls short today
* How **often** you'd use the feature, or how much time/effort it would save
* Any **workarounds** you're currently using

<Info>
  The form reminds you: *"Share a product idea for the roadmap. For account issues, use Help and Support."*
</Info>

## After You Submit

Once submitted, your idea is added to the Bila product team's backlog for review. Feature requests are considered alongside other roadmap priorities, so there's no guaranteed timeline for a response or implementation.

<Note>
  Request a feature is for product ideas only. If you're experiencing a bug, an account issue, or need help with an urgent payment, use [Report a Bug](/report-a-bug) or [Help and Support](/help-and-support) instead.
