A Client Fire Email is a last-resort tool used to formally end a business relationship with a client who consistently causes difficulties or stress. It allows you to maintain professionalism and clarity while setting boundaries.
Where you’ll find it
This feature can be found within the communication or messaging section of the Business platform. It's available across all plans.
Common use cases

- In situations where continuing the professional relationship could harm your business or well-being.
- To ensure a clear and professional conclusion to a toxic business engagement.
Things to watch out for

- Be mindful of the tone and wording to ensure the message remains professional.
- Sending this email should be considered final and not used as a tactic in ongoing negotiations.
