How automatic deactivation works

Prior to the scheduled deactivation date, HubSpot will send email notifications to all Super Admins and inactive users in your HubSpot account.

  • Two weeks before the next scheduled deactivation date, HubSpot will send an email notification advising that any inactive users will be deactivated in two weeks unless they log in or are exempt from automatic deactivation. 
  • The day before the scheduled deactivation date, HubSpot will send a final reminder notification to all Super Admins and inactive users.
  • On the day of the scheduled deactivation date, any users who are still inactive will be deactivated.
