Change User ID or Delete Thingspeak Account

Hi, I am wondering if I can change my user id for ThingSpeak or I can delete the ThingSpeak account and register one? Thanks a lot.

We're working on the ability to change user id. Can you tell us more about the features you're looking for in terms of a customizable user id?

Thanks for replying. Changing user ID might bring some convenience to users, and in order to prevent some issues, only one chance to change id per year is preferable.

By the way, if ThingSpeak would provide API for IFTTT, it could be so nice.

Thanks again.

yes. changing user id is very important

@Kevin, What do you want to be able to do in IFTTT? YOu can already write MATLAB analysis apps to trigger IFTTT actions. There is an example in the doc.

Piersoft Paolicelli, Thank you so much for the feedback! We are interested to know why you think changing user id is important. Any inputs would be very helpful.

You can now update your user name. When logged in to your Mathworks account (or logged into ThingSpeak) select My profile under your user icon on the right hand side. There is a button to edit and update your profile informaiton there.
