In this article, you will learn how to customize the appearance of your ActiveCampaign account.
Take note
Access to customization options depends on your ActiveCampaign plan.
Access Appearance settings in your ActiveCampaign account
The Appearance page contains settings that you can use to customize the look of your ActiveCampaign account. To access this page:
- Click Settings (gear icon) on the bottom left of your ActiveCampaign account.
- Click Appearance on the left menu.
Customization options
In the "Admin Panel" section of the Appearance Settings page, you can:
- Update your site name
- Switch ActiveCampaign branding off
- Change the left-side navigation color
- Upload your logos
- Customize your template, public site, and email headers and footers
Update your "Site name"
Available on all plans.
Your site name appears on some default and notification emails. It is also used as the title of your application, which you can see in your browser's tab, next to the favicon.
Updating your site name is not the same as changing your account name.
To update your site name, type the new name into the "Site Name" field provided, then click the "Save" button.
Turn off ActiveCampaign branding for your account
Available on Plus, Professional, and Enterprise plans.
You can turn off ActiveCampaign branding on an account level. To do so:
-
Click the "ActiveCampaign Branding" toggle to set it to the "Off" position.
- An "In-app Chat" toggle will appear. This toggle refers to the chat function you can use to contact our Customer Experience team. To keep it visible for yourself and other users, click the toggle to set it to the "On" position.
Once branding is turned off, all mentions of ActiveCampaign will be hidden, including (non-exhaustive list):
- Text
- Links
- ActiveCampaign forms
- The Apps page
- The Help bubble. This is used to contact our Customer Experience team and view your Help tickets in your account (See instructions above to unhide the "In-app Chat" toggle)
- The ActiveCampaign Referral Program ("Ambassador Program")
- Any apps that show the ActiveCampaign name or logo
- Most integrations will be unavailable
