PhantomBuster has two types of settings: personal settings (your login email, password, name, and notification preferences) and workspace settings (workspace name, time zone, billing info, and integrations). Personal settings apply only to your account across all workspaces. Workspace settings apply to the current workspace and affect all its members. Access both from the user menu in the top-right corner of your workspace.

Accessing settings

You can find both personal and workspace settings from the same menu:

  1. Log in your PhantomBuster workspace and hover over your name in the top-right corner to access your User menu.
  2. If you have more than one workspace, make sure the correct one is selected from the dropdown. Look for the ✔️ symbol next to the active workspace name.

Then:

  • To manage your personal settings, go to the My space section and click My personal settings.

  • To manage your workspace settings, go to the Workspace section and click Settings.

Manage your workspace settings

Workspace settings apply to the specific workspace you're currently viewing. They control shared preferences and apply to all members of that Workspace.

From Workspace settings, you can:

  • Set the workspace name: Customize it to match your team, business, or client project.
  • Adjust the time zone: Controls when automations run and how timestamps are displayed.
    • Changes to the time zone apply only to future automation launches and do not affect runs that are already scheduled.
  • Update billing information: Edit the billing name, company name, address, and VAT number used on invoices.
  • Manage your HubSpot integration.

Frequently asked questions

How do I change my PhantomBuster password?

Open the user menu in the top-right corner, click My Personal Settings, then select Change password in the Login information section. Enter your current password and choose a new one. The change applies immediately across all Workspaces.

How do I change my PhantomBuster email?

Open the user menu in the top-right corner, click My Personal Settings, then update the email address in the Login information section. This changes the email address you use to log in to PhantomBuster.

How do I change the time zone for my workspace?

Go to your Workspace Settings (user menu → Workspace section → Settings) and adjust the time zone. This controls when automations run and how timestamps are displayed. Changes apply only to future launches - already-scheduled runs are not affected.

What's the difference between personal settings and Workspace settings?

Personal settings (email, password, name, notifications) apply only to your individual account and don't affect teammates. Workspace settings (name, time zone, billing, integrations) apply to the current Workspace and affect all members.

How do I turn off workspace notifications?

In My Personal Settings, scroll to Workspace Notifications. You can enable or disable alerts (execution time warnings, usage limits, billing updates, activity events) independently for each Workspace you belong to.

How do I create a new workspace?

In My Personal Settings, scroll to Actions and select Create a new workspace. Each workspace has its own subscription, billing, and resources, so this is useful for separating clients, teams, or projects.

How do I delete my PhantomBuster account?

Go to My Personal Settings and select Delete your account under Actions. This permanently removes your account and all Workspaces you own. To delete only a specific Workspace or leave one you don't own, see How to Delete your PhantomBuster Account or Workspaces.
