Settings & Branding

Configure your church profile, logo, colors, timezone, communications, and integrations.

What it is

Settings is where you configure your church's identity and integrations — name, slug, logo, brand colors, timezone, check-in options, member signup, communications providers, and giving/Stripe connection.

Where to find it

  • Dashboard → Settings (/dashboard/settings)
  • Sub-pages: Check-In, Member Signup, Communications, Giving

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Open Settings — Navigate to Dashboard → Settings from the Administration section.
  2. Profile tab — Set your church name, slug (used in URLs), and timezone.
  3. Branding tab — Upload your logo, set your primary brand color, and add your YouTube channel if applicable. These appear on check-in forms, giving pages, and emails.
  4. Check-In tab — Configure QR security, duplicate window, and post-check-in giving. See Check-In Settings for details.
  5. Member Signup tab — Manage join links and codes. See Member Signup for details.
  6. Communications tab — Connect SendGrid (email) and Twilio (SMS), set sender identity, and send test messages. Owner/admin only.
  7. Integrations tab — Review connected services and API status.

Tips & common issues

  • Slug changes — Your church slug appears in check-in URLs (/checkin?church={slug}) and giving pages. Choose a slug that's easy to remember and share.
  • Branding consistency — Logo and primary color flow through check-in, giving, transactional emails, and the member portal. Update branding before printing new QR signage.
  • Communications test — After configuring SendGrid/Twilio, send a test email and SMS to yourself before launching campaigns.
