Organization branding lives at Settings → Branding. The values here are the default brand for every applicant flow and every transactional email sent on behalf of the organization.

This page covers organization-level branding. Workflow template overrides for the applicant flow are documented separately. See Workflow branding.

What gets branded

Section titled “What gets branded”

The organization branding record stores:

  • Primary color — the dominant brand color used for buttons, links, and accents.
  • Secondary color — an optional accent used alongside the primary.
  • Color mode — auto, light, or dark. auto follows the recipient’s system preference.

Colors must be 6-digit hex values (for example, #2563eb). The form rejects anything else before it reaches the server.

Set the colors

Section titled “Set the colors”
  1. Open Settings → Branding.
  2. Pick a preset palette or open the color picker and choose your own primary, optional secondary, and color mode.
  3. Click Save. The page surfaces a success or error message.

Only Owner and Admin can change branding. Other roles see a notice and the editor is hidden; the API rejects the call server-side as well.

Preview before you save

Section titled “Preview before you save”

The editor renders a live preview of the colors against the standard applicant UI so you can see contrast and the light / dark modes before persisting. Saving overwrites the organization’s stored branding; the next applicant flow and the next outbound email pick it up immediately.

Troubleshooting

Section titled “Troubleshooting”
  • “Could not load saved branding” notice. A stored branding value was malformed. The editor falls back to defaults so you can save a fresh, valid record. The previous bad value is replaced once you save.
  • The Save button does nothing. You have not yet picked a color. Choose a preset or set a primary color first.
  • Applicant flow still shows the old colors. Open an incognito window or reload after clearing cache. Applicant browser caches sometimes hold the previous palette until reload.
