You may need to change your account's login email for reasons such as a changed email address, selling your business, or transferring ownership to a new account holder.


This article covers:


From the team member profile

πŸ’‘ Please note: If Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is enabled, we recommend temporarily disabling it before changing your email address. Re-enable MFA once the change is complete.

You can change the email address for a team member from their profile settings.

To do this:

  1. Log in to your Bookwhen account using the email address you used to sign up.

  2. Select your name from the top right-hand corner of the page, then Profile:

    Screenshot with an arrow pointing at the 'Profile' option of the drop-down menu in the top right-hand corner, highlighting to users what to select to open their profile settings.

  3. This opens your profile:

    Profile example showing account information such as name, email address and public profile settings.

  4. Select Edit next to Your account settings.

  5. Add the new email address, then select Save to apply your changes:
    ​

    Name and email address edit screen with arrow pointing at the 'Save' button, indicating to users where to click to save their name and/or email address changes.

  6. Select Verify your email address in the email you have received to the new email address.

  7. Once verification is complete, the email address on both the team member profile and the Team tab will be updated.
    ​

πŸ’‘ To note: If you receive an 'Email already in use' error, it usually means there's an existing (booker) account with a new email address. In this case, you can replace the team member from the Team tab.

From the team tab

If you can't access the team member profile or if the new email address is already linked to an existing account, you can:

  1. Select Account, then Team from the left-hand menu on your account.

  2. Select Invite team member:

    Account > Team page with an arrow pointing at the 'Invite team member' button, highlighting where users can click to add a new team member to their account.

  3. You can only edit an email address if you have access to the team member's profile or if the email isn't linked to an existing account. If that's not the case, you'll need to invite the new email address for the correct role, such as account owner, schedule manager, bookings admin, or leader.

  4. Select Send invite:

    Invite a team members screen showing the different team member options that users can choose between: account owner, schedule manager, bookings admin and leader.

    • Account owners can amend team members' roles anytime.

  5. Once you've sent the invite and the recipient receives the invitation, open the new team member's profile by selecting the pencil and paper icon πŸ“ next to their name:

    Team management screen with arrow pointing at the pencil and paper icon, highlighting where users should click to open their profile settings.

  6. Then ensure that you select the Reply-to email and Account subscription notification checkbox settings for the new team member:

    Reply-to:

    Team member setting screen with arrow pointing at the 'Reply-to' setting.

    Account subscription notifications:

    Team member setting screen with arrow pointing at the 'Account subscription notifications' setting.

    • This is because a Bookwhen account needs at least one Account owner to receive these system emails.

πŸ’‘ To note: If you can't invite a new team member because you have already reached the limit on your current plan, please contact our support team to determine the best approach.

Removing the old email address

To remove the old email address:

  1. Log in with the new Account owner's email address.

  2. Select Account, then Team from the left-hand menu on your account.

  3. Select the pencil and paper πŸ“ icon next to the old profile:

    Team page with an arrow pointing at the pencil and paper icon next to a team member name, showing users where to click to edit the team member.

    • If you can't access the new email address, please contact the new account owner to action this.

  4. From there, scroll down and select Remove from this account from the bottom right-hand corner:

    Team member page with an arrow pointing at the 'Remove from this account' button in the bottom-right of the page, highlighting to users where to click to remove them from the account.
