Use Webchat to have articles suggested to you. If you can't find what you're looking for, you can then begin chatting with a member of our Support Team - perfect for a quick response to time-sensitive queries.
If you’re on Advanced Support, please instead book a call following your standard Advanced Support booked call process.
To start a webchat, click the Chat button from the bottom left of your Arbor site.

You can also go to any page on the Arbor Help Centre and wait for the Help icon to pop up in the bottom left.
Who can use webchat?
We will not be able to support you through webchat if:
- You are a parent - you can use these articles to help you or contact your school for more information.
- You are a student - you can use these articles to help you or contact your school for more information.
- You are a Partner supported school - you will need to speak directly with your support partner. Our Webchat support is only available within the MIS for Arbor supported schools. Partner supported schools will have the Help option on the Help Centre, but you cannot use this to chat with the Support Team.
