What is the Changelog Email?
The Changelog Email is the Google (or Microsoft/Meta/LinkedIn) login that was used to connect Opteo to the ad account.
When Opteo applies a change — like adding a negative keyword — ad platforms log that change in its Change History, and attributes it to the user who connected the account.
That email address is shown in the Changelog Email column on the Linked Accounts page.
Where to find the Changelog Email

FAQs
Q: Will changing the Changelog Email affect teammates?
A: No — it only affects how changes are logged in Google Ads. User access in Opteo remains unchanged.
Q: Why is an unfamiliar email showing in change history?
A: It’s probably the login someone else used to connect Opteo to that account. You can update it by reconnecting with the right one.
Q: Can I have more than one Changelog email?
A: No — teams are only able to use one changelog email per ad account. For this reason, you may prefer to use a shared email (e.g. [email protected]).
