How Best to Chat with Support

When opening a new support chat, please have the following information available in order for our support team to best assist you:

  • A detailed explanation of the issue:

    • Who is experiencing the issue.

    • When the issue began.

    • The device being used.

  • Specific job/estimate examples, even if the issue seems to occur on all jobs/estimates.

  • Screenshots/videos of the issue or error messages you are seeing.

Using the Blue Chat Bubble

When you are working in your account and have a question, the Blue Chat Bubble is the fastest way to get an answer. You can find the Blue Chat Bubble located in the bottom right corner of most pages in your account. Click that Blue Chat Bubble to get assistance.

Please check the Messages section of your device to ensure that you don’t miss any responses. Chats will be closed out after a certain amount of time if we don’t hear back from you. We appreciate your understanding!

Please Note: If you switch media types throughout the chat, you may not receive incoming message notifications. For example, if you initiate a chat on the web and then switch to your mobile device you may not receive those notifications on your mobile device.
