How do I remove or deactivate a user in Whippy?

Last updated: November 5, 2026

When someone leaves your team, remove their Whippy access so they can no longer log in or send messages on behalf of your organization.

Before you start

  • Decide what should happen to the person's conversations. You can have them reassigned to another teammate or left unassigned.

  • Note the person's full name and the email they use to log in to Whippy.

  • If your organization has more than one Whippy account or location, note which one they should be removed from.

Steps

  1. Ask an admin on your team to open Settings > Users and teams and select Users to review the person's account.

  2. If you would like our team to handle it, contact Whippy support from the chat button and include:

    • The user's name and login email

    • The account or location they should be removed from

    • Whether their conversations should be reassigned (and to whom) or left unassigned

  3. Our team confirms once the user has been removed.

Tips

  • Remove access on the person's last day so conversations do not go unanswered.

  • Reassign open conversations to a teammate so candidates and clients still get a reply.

  • Review channel access afterward to make sure the right people can see each number.

Reactivating a user

If a former user returns, contact support with their name, login email, and the account they need access to, and we can restore their access.

Troubleshooting

  • The person can still log in: Confirm they were removed from the correct account or location, then contact support.

  • Conversations are missing an owner: Use conversation assignment to give them to an active teammate.
