At Lever, we strive to provide the ongoing support you and your team need to run an efficient and effective talent acquisition operation. As you use the LeverTRM platform you may find that you need to submit a support ticket to diagnose a potential issue, receive guidance on product usage, or receive assistance with a task you are trying to complete.
Lever Support channels
There are three channels by which you can contact Lever Support:
Live Chat
You can chat directly with a member of Lever Support directly within your Lever environment. To start a live chat, click your account avatar in the upper-right corner of the platform header and select Contact Support.
A chat window will appear, into which you can type a description of the issue you are experiencing. A member of the Lever Support team communicate with you via the chat to provide a solution. In some cases, a support agent may ask to continue your correspondence via email as they work toward a resolution of the issue.
Ticket Submission
There are two methods for submitting a support ticket:
Method 1:
Expand the widget found in the lower-right corner of our Help Center (help.lever.co).
Start by typing your question/issue into the widget. The widget will attempt to resolve your inquiry by suggesting existing articles in our Help Center related to your question/issue. If none of the suggested articles have the information you need to answer your question or resolve your issue, you can click the Contact Support option in the widget to reveal ticket submission fields.

Submitting a ticket via the ticket submission form (as opposed to the widget) will allow you to include attachments with your ticket.
Examples with URLs
If the issue you are experiencing pertains to a specific object or users in your Lever environment, include its URL in your ticket. URLs contain unique identifiers that the Lever Support Team can use to locate and track the affected object on the backend. For example, if you were experiencing an issue with a specific posting, open the posting, copy the URL, and paste it into the description field on your ticket.
Super Admins, Admins, and Team Members can locate URLs for specific users in their Lever environment by navigating to Settings > Users and opening the affected user's profile.
