Accessing help with your ActiveCampaign account can be done through multiple channels. These include self-service articles in the Help Center, community forums, live chat options, and more. Below is a detailed overview of how to navigate these avenues effectively.

To get assistance for your ActiveCampaign account, you can follow these steps:

=== Accessing the Help Center ===

* Ensure that your ActiveCampaign branding is enabled if you are trying to access the chat feature.
* If you are part of an Agency Partner program, double-check your options with your Reseller.
