We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

Create, Edit, or Delete a Brand

  • Updated:

This article will detail how to set, update, or edit the branding requirements for customer communication. Branding provides the ability for customers to customize colors, logos, voice numbers, reply to emails, and email footers with different information, such as individual departments' branding.

 

Important Notes

  • Core customers only have one brand. Pro customers can set up unlimited branding. If you are not set up as a Pro customer, you will get an "Error Creating Brand" message.
    An Error Creating Brand popup message.
  • If a brand is associated with a template, you will not be able to delete that brand until the brand is no longer associated with the template.
