Contact Customer Care

If you are experiencing an issue with your school or if you aren’t able to find the answers you need, our award-winning Customer Care team is happy to assist users via email (all plans) and live chat (available on the Professional plan and up).

At this time, Teachable does not offer support over the phone. We’ve found that email and live chat are the best ways for us to provide high-quality support because we can:

• More effectively troubleshoot by having immediate access to your school, account information, past support tickets, and other relevant details
• Provide clarity and direction with visual aids, such as screenshots, videos, and links
• Save you time by addressing or escalating issues directly through your chat or ticket.
• Safeguard your security by providing a secure channel for verifying account ownership and looping in your school affiliates, authors, and students when necessary
• Ensure that you’re speaking to a product expert from our dedicated in-house support team

To submit a ticket from your myTeachable profile, click Submit a Ticket:

Alternatively,  submit a ticket through the Guide Center widget by clicking the ? icon within your school admin. From there, you can search through our Knowledge Base for any guides that may help. If you can't find what you're looking for, you can also submit a ticket through the Guide Center itself by clicking Don't see what you're looking for? Contact us:

Tips for Creating a Support Ticket

To help us provide the best support possible, please follow these guidelines for submitting a support ticket:

• Be as Specific as Possible - The more details you include in your initial ticket, the better our support team will be able to understand what you want to achieve. If you are having an issue with a specific school, course, or user then it's also helpful to include details such as the user’s email address, name, the specific URL or name of your course, etc. in your initial ticket. This helps our support team access your school information and locate the source the issue much faster, which leads to a more efficient resolution for you.
• Include Visuals - It’s helpful to include visuals to help illustrate the issue or question that requires our support. Although our help form does not have a file uploader, you can include file sharing links from services like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. Please also ensure that you’ve given us permission to view the files.

  Once you submit a ticket via our help form, you’ll receive an email receipt from our help desk provider, Zendesk, that contains the details of your support request. If you want to upload a file, you can attach files in your response to your ticket receipt.

• Avoid Multiple Issues or Questions in One Ticket - If you have a new issue or question, we recommend creating a new ticket so that each can be handled within its own email thread. This makes referencing these messages faster in the future.
• Utilize the Description Section of the Help Form - To avoid confusion, ensure that you write the body text of your inquiry in the Description section of the help form and not in the Subject Line. The subject line of your ticket should be a brief explanation of the issue or inquiry that you explain further in the Description section of the ticket.

Live Chat (Professional plan and up)

If your school is on the Professional plan and up, then you can access live chat by logging in to your school admin and clicking on Help button. From there, you can open a live chat with a member of our Customer Care team by clicking on the Chat Now button.
