How to Submit a FastBridge Support Request
We always recommend that you follow your district's plan for support, usually by contacting your FastBridge District Manager, first. If your district doesn't have a plan, please submit a support request in FastBridge or by emailing help@fastbridge.org (which also creates a support request).
Please include as many details as possible. The more information we have, the better we can assist you! Examples of what to include for a student related issue:
- District and building name
- Student first and last name (spelling matters!)
- Teacher name
- Assessment, if applicable
- Details about the issue and what you've tried
- Screenshots are encouraged!!
Important Notes:
- Do not use the chat feature or phone support number through FastBridge, as your Iowa support team is not available via those methods. Ticket/email response time is usually quick during working hours.
- Using the 'secure' checkbox on the support request form in FastBridge will require that you log into your Zendesk support system account to see the response. We don't recommend using it unless your district policy forbids sharing student information via district email.
