Slack: How to Change Your Email Address

Your email address serves as your point of contact for most digital communications, including Slack. But sometimes, you want to change your email ID for personal reasons. Given how your Slack account in a workspace is linked to your email, you might think changing your Slack email ID is a complex process. That’s not the case, though, as Slack makes it super convenient to change your account’s email address. Follow this guide to learn how.

Why You May Need to Change Your Email in Slack?

You may want to change your Slack email address for several reasons. You might have created a new email address for all work communication. Another reason can be that you are leaving a Slack workplace to switch to a new company, which means your old email address is no longer relevant, and you need to change it to reflect your new role and contact information.

It is also a good idea to change the email ID linked to your Slack account due to a security breach with your old email address. Note that switching your email address won’t log you out of Slack on all other devices.
