Within Teamwork Desk, you can delete one or multiple companies at once.

Note: Only site administrators can create, edit, and delete companies on your site.

When a company is deleted:

  • The associated customers and tickets will not be deleted.
  • Any relationship links to existing customers or tickets will be removed.
  • Smart inboxes - any references to the deleted company will be removed from conditions on existing smart inboxes, therefore the tickets returned based on the smart inbox conditions may change. You will need to review and update the settings of any affected smart inboxes.
  • Triggers - any references to the deleted company will be removed from the conditions on existing triggers, which can interrupt workflows. You will need to review and update the settings of any affected triggers.
  • Customer Portal - customers with permission to access company tickets in the Customer Portal will no longer be able to view the tickets previously associated with the deleted company.
Note: Deleting a company is permanent and can not be undone. 

Go to the People area at the top of your site and select the Companies subsection.

When bulk deleting companies, you will be shown a confirmation modal after clicking the trash can. This modal will outline the number of companies to be deleted as well as warning about the implications of deleting (unlinking customers and their tickets from the company while retaining the customer profiles and tickets).

You will need to select the I understand the consequences checkbox before being able to click Yes, permanently delete to complete the process.
