Your client portal's message thread is the best place for questions about your day, and we usually reply within one business day.
Step 1
Open Help And Choose Open Messages
Choose Help in the sidebar. Under Message Candid, choose Open messages. The same page has our support email and answers to common questions.

Or Message Someone On Your Team
Your Home page lists Your team for the event. Choose Message next to a team member. Your message goes into your project thread and they get a studio notification.

Write In Your Project Thread
Messages open on your event page, in the Messages tab. Type your question and send it. Earlier messages stay in the thread so you can look back at them.

- "We couldn’t confirm this message was sent. Your text is saved here; retrying it won't create a duplicate."
