Overview

A teammate left the company, or you’ve completed a client mission?

Either way, you might be paying for an identity you no longer need. Changing an identity doesn’t require deletion—you can simply replace the connected accounts.

This article explains how to do it step by step.

How to use LGM to change your identity


How to change a LinkedIn account

Follow these steps to switch a LinkedIn account for your identity:

  1. Pause campaigns linked to the identity you want to change

  2. Disconnect the old LinkedIn account from the identity

  3. Connect the new LinkedIn account

    • LGM automatically updates the identity’s info (full name, profile picture, etc.) once the account is connected

Important: Always pause campaigns before switching LinkedIn accounts. If campaigns are active, LGM may try to send messages from the old account to leads, even though your new identity is connected.

How to change an email address

If a teammate leaves or your emails keep ending up in spam, follow these steps to change your email:

  1. Go to Email settings in your identity

  2. Disconnect the old email

  3. Connect the new email

Note: If this email is used in multiple campaigns, you’ll need to choose between:

  • Stopping leads contacted by the old email

  • Allowing LGM to continue sending emails to these leads with the new address

Important: If your previous emails were sent in the same thread, a new thread will start with the new email.

FAQs

Can I change my LinkedIn account without pausing campaigns?

Will my identity information update automatically?

Yes. Once you connect a new LinkedIn account, LGM updates the identity’s full name, profile picture, and other details automatically.

What happens to email threads when I change my address?

New threads will be created with the new email. Previous conversations won’t carry over.
