How do I reach Upwork Support?

When you need help using Upwork, you’ve got a few options:

  • Use the Chat with Support button on the Contact Support page to get assistance automatically from our chatbot.
  • Visit our Community to connect with others who use Upwork and see resolved issues
  • Check out Upwork Academy to access an interactive suite of courses and tools to help you succeed on Upwork
  • Visit our Resource Center to see blogs and other articles

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

If you’ve already contacted our support team for help by filing a ticket, you can see any updates here. You can also add comments to past tickets. Please don’t send us duplicate requests because it’ll take longer for us to get back to you. Most issues are handled in the order they are received and our agents will get back to you as soon as possible.

Get help

If you need help now, you are in the right place! Getting assistance starts with visiting our Help Center (you are here now) and selecting the Contact Support option in the Help Center's navigation bar. Then, select the Chat with Support button. This button launches our chatbot, which we’ve found answers 80% of the questions customers like you have.

When the bot launches, type in your issue. Keep in mind that correct spelling and short, direct, single-topic questions work best. Our chatbot is continually learning and new useful information is added on a regular basis.

Questions the bot can answer include:

  • How do I change my billing method?
  • How can I add another milestone to a contract?
  • How do I track time with the Upwork Desktop App?

While our chatbot can point you in the right direction, please keep in mind that it can’t answer account-specific questions, such as:

  • Why did you bill me?
  • Can you help me find a job?
  • What is the due date of my project?

Once you type in your issue or question, you’ll see a list of resources that have helped other users. If you don’t see what you need after a few tries, we’ll give you the option to submit a ticket.

PRO TIP:

If you aren’t yet an Upwork user, or have lost access to log into your Upwork account, you can still get help selecting the Chat with Support button on the Contact Support page to get assistance automatically from our chatbot.
