How to Retain Emails in Zendesk Sell When User Leaves

Discover how to retain email conversations in Zendesk Sell when a user leaves your company by deactivating them.

What should I do to keep email conversations in Zendesk Sell when someone leaves my company?

To keep email conversations in Zendesk Sell when someone leaves your company, deactivate the user instead of deleting them. Deactivating a user ensures that their existing emails remain on leads, contacts, and deals, although new emails will not sync from their email account.

It's important to deactivate the user before their email account is deleted by your IT team. This prevents the loss of existing emails. Be cautious not to reactivate a user if their email account is no longer active, as this could result in losing all historic emails within Sell.
