How to add billing or IT contacts in Zapier
In Zapier, you can designate billing or IT contacts so the right people receive invoices, renewal notices, and important account emails without sharing your personal login. This guide walks you through how to add, update, and remove these contacts step by step.
What Zapier billing and IT contacts can do
Before you add anyone, it helps to understand what billing and IT contacts mean in Zapier and how they differ from regular users on your workspace or team.
Zapier billing contacts explained
A billing contact is someone who should receive financial and subscription information for your account. In Zapier, billing contacts are ideal for finance, procurement, or operations staff who manage payments but do not need to edit automations.
Billing contacts typically receive:
- Invoices and receipts
- Billing reminders and renewal notices
- Notifications about payment issues or failed charges
Billing contacts do not gain access to your Zaps, apps, or data just by being added as a contact.
Zapier IT contacts explained
An IT contact in Zapier is usually a technical owner or administrator who should receive security, access, or compliance information. They may not need to work with day‑to‑day workflows, but they do need visibility into critical account updates.
IT contacts typically receive:
- Security or compliance notifications
- Account access and admin change alerts
- Information about integration issues affecting your organization
Like billing contacts, IT contacts do not automatically get workspace access or editing permissions to your Zaps.
Where Zapier lets you manage contacts
You can manage billing or IT contacts from your account settings on the Zapier website. Only users with the correct level of access can update these contacts.
In most cases, you must be:
- The account owner, or
- An admin on a team or company plan with permission to manage billing
If you do not see the options described here, contact your internal admin or owner and share this article with them.
How to add a billing contact in Zapier
Follow these steps to add or update a billing contact for your Zapier account so the right person gets payment‑related emails.
Step 1: Open your Zapier account settings
- Sign in to your Zapier account.
- In the upper navigation, go to your Settings or Account menu.
- Select the area related to Billing or Plan & billing.
The exact naming may vary slightly by plan type, but the option will take you to your billing overview page.
Step 2: Locate the billing contact section
On the billing page, look for a dedicated section for billing contacts. This is usually labeled something like:

This section controls who receives official payment communication from Zapier.

- Optionally, add a name if the interface provides a field for it.

Once saved, Zapier sends future invoices and billing notifications to this contact. The contact may also receive important subscription updates, such as plan changes or failed payment alerts.
How to add an IT contact in Zapier
If your organization has an IT, security, or systems team, you can add a dedicated IT contact so Zapier can reach them directly when technical or security‑related updates are required.
Step 1: Access the IT contact settings
- Sign in to your Zapier account as an owner or admin.
- Open your Settings or Account menu from the main navigation.
