As an Agent, you will be able to change your personal information. Only an admin can update your email address.

If you have any further questions or clarifications, please drop an email to support@freshdesk.com and our Product Specialist will be happy to assist you.


If there is a problem in changing an agent's email address, check if you are receiving any error messages. If not, open a new tab and go to Neo admin center i.e., yourcompany.freshworks.com, then click Users once you are logged in. From there, attempt to change the agent's email address. If that doesn't work, contact Freshdesk support for assistance.
