When team members get deactivated

  1. If you added teammates during the trial period and later choose to purchase a plan that does not support teammates, we will deactivate all previously set teammates and allow you to decide how to proceed:
  • You can either upgrade your plan to reactivate teammates
  • Or delete the deactivated teammates by following our standard deletion flow

   2. If you transition from an Enterprise plan that includes, for instance, 8 teammates to a Business Team plan that only accommodates 4 teammates, all existing teammates will be deactivated. You will have the option to reactivate any 4 of your choosing, while the other will remain deactivated. To maintain all your teammates, you will need to either upgrade your plan or remove the deactivated teammates following our standard deletion process.

Important: In any case, when we deactivate teammates, we notify users via email.
