What is a Subaccount/Location in TWIM CRM?
A sub-account (location) in TWIM CRM is an independent business or client account that operates within an agency. It allows businesses to manage their marketing, automation, and customer relationships separately from other accounts. Each sub-account has its own CRM, workflows, campaigns, integrations and other key features.
Why Would You Need to Delete a Subaccount?
- Client No Longer Uses the Platform: If a client decides to discontinue using TWIM CRM, deleting the sub-account may be necessary.
- Duplicate or Unused Accounts: Sometimes, businesses create multiple sub-accounts by mistake. Deleting the extra ones helps keep the system organized.
- Cost Management: Reducing the number of active sub-accounts can help manage billing costs.
- Security and Compliance: If an account is no longer needed, deleting it ensures that sensitive customer data is removed from the system.
Key Considerations Before Deleting a Subaccount
Deleting a sub-account should be done with caution since the action is permanent after 24 hours.
A sub-account (location) in TWIM CRM represents a business or client account within your agency. Deleting a sub-account is a permanent action after 24 hours, so it should only be done when absolutely necessary.

- Integration Disconnection: Ensure that Twilio, Mailgun, Facebook, Google, and other third-party integrations are disconnected.
- Pausing Instead of Deleting: If you’re unsure, you can pause the sub-account instead of permanently deleting a subaccount.
- If you delete a subaccount, the Client Portal tied to that subaccount does not open.
