Sales_Plus_Professional_Enterprise

With ActiveCampaign, you can customize the appearance of your account based on your plan.

All plans can update your site name, replace the ActiveCampaign logo with your own, and add a favicon.

If you are on a Marketing Enterprise or Sales Enterprise plan, in addition to the options above, you can switch off ActiveCampaign branding on an account level, and customize your site’s appearance by modifying the underlying HTML and/or overriding CSS styles.

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:

  1. Click Settings (gear icon) on the bottom right of your ActiveCampaign account.
  2. Click Appearance on the left menu.

Customize your admin panel

In the admin panel of your ActiveCampaign account, you can update your site name, add a custom logo and/or favicon, update your application page layout, and modify your account's custom CSS.

Update Site Name

Available on all plans.

Updating your site name on the Appearance Settings page will be reflected on some default and notification emails and will be used as the title of your application, which can be seen in your browser's tab:

Updating your site name is not the same as changing your account name. Requests to update your account name must be sent to our Customer Experience Team to process. Read the "How do I change my account name?" article for more information.

To update your site name, type the new name into the "Site Name" field provided and click the "Save" button at the top of the application.

Add custom logo

Available on all plans.

You can add a large logo and/or a small logo to your ActiveCampaign account. The Large logo will appear on your account login page, and the suggested minimum size is 200x25 px. The small logo will appear in the header of your admin panel, and the suggested minimum size is 64x64 px. Your custom logo will replace the ActiveCampaign logo in those areas.

To add your own logo, to start, you'll need to upload the file with ActiveCampaign's image manager or to a hosting platform. Then copy the image's URL and paste it into the Logo field provided. When finished, click the "Save" button.

Add a favicon

Available on all plans.

A favicon is also known as a website, URL, bookmark, or tab icon. It's an image associated with your website and, in this case, your ActiveCampaign account. When you add a favicon on the Appearance Settings page, it will appear in the URL bar of your web browser or a web browser tab when your ActiveCampaign account is open. You'll also see the image in your bookmarks if your account is bookmarked.
