You can’t directly change the email on your existing Glide account—but you can transfer your access, apps, and data to a new email. Here’s how:
Why Glide doesn’t allow email changes directly
Your Glide account may be linked to external data sources like Google Sheets, Airtable, or Excel. Changing your account email could break access or sync connections to those sources. Glide avoids this risk by not allowing direct email changes.
Important Note: When using Airtable and Excel data sources, the Glide account that originally configured the data source must remain a member of the Team. This account is the only one that can re-authenticate the integration if needed.
🔁 Step-by-step: Transfer your account to a new email
Prep: Use two separate browser sessions
You’ll need to be logged in to both your old and new Glide accounts at the same time.
This does not mean two tabs in the same browser. Use one of the following methods:
Two different browsers (e.g. Chrome and Firefox)
Two Chrome profiles (e.g. your personal and work profiles)
This avoids session conflicts and allows you to manage both accounts side-by-side.
Invite new email as a Team Member
In the session where you're signed in with your old email, go to Team → Members.
Invite your new email to the team.
In the other session, signed in as the new email, accept the invite by clicking the link in the invitation email and confirming the browser popup.
Back in the old email session, refresh the Members list and promote the new email to Admin.
🔌 Reconnect external data sources
You now have admin rights with your new email—but external data sources may still be linked to your old account. After transferring admin access, reconnect each data source:
Google Sheets
Make sure the new email has edit access to the relevant Google Sheet(s).
While logged into Glide with the new email, open your app and go to: App → Settings → Data.
For each connected Sheet, click the “⋯” menu → Replace and select the same Sheet under the new Google account.
Airtable & Excel
Glide requires that the account which originally connected the source remains on the team.
If a reconnection is ever needed, only the original email can authenticate it.
Do not remove the old email if your apps rely on Airtable or Excel.
🧾 Update billing information
Changing your admin email does not automatically update your billing info. To avoid failed payments or confusion:
Sign in with your new email.
Go to Billing → Open Customer Portal.
Update your email address, name, and payment details as needed.
🧹 Final cleanup
Once you’ve confirmed everything works:
Double-check that the new admin can access all apps, data, and syncs.
If you’re no longer using the old account:
You can remove it from the team, but only after confirming that all integrations (especially data sources) are working under the new email.
For Airtable/Excel users, leave the old email on the team unless you're sure it's no longer needed.
🔐 Lost access to your old email?
If your old email belongs to a company domain and you no longer have access to it, we may need confirmation from someone at that company before transferring team ownership. Reach out to Glide Support for help.
