Our live chat support service is currently in its pilot phase and will be available starting August 2, 2022. 

Live chat support is now accessible through the Help Widget in the Help Center or by logging into your existing Archive-It account here.  Please note that this service is not supported for Archive-It Basic or Archive-It Sponsored level subscriptions unless you are reporting a system issue.

Before you initiate a live chat, please consider these recommendations:

• ✅  Have you checked the System Status page for updates on any service-wide issues?
• ✅  If the problem is related to your Wayback links not working:

1. 1. 1. Have 24 hours or more passed since the crawl completed? It takes up to 24 hours for Wayback links to generate.
      2. Are you trying to access Wayback links for a test crawl? Wayback links for test crawls can only be accessed via the Seeds tab of the crawl report.

• ✅  Did you follow the relevant site-specific scoping rules for your seeds?
• ✅  Have you completed our recommended Quality Assurance steps?
• ✅  Did you try searching the Help Center for an answer to your question?
