Branding
The Church Organiser allows us to add our church branding to our emails and letters that are sent out from The Church Organiser.
We are able to customise the images and text that are included in the headers and footers of emails and letters.
Create Branding Templates
To create our branding, we will need to go to Settings and click Branding.
Here we will be able to create templates for emails and letters sent using the Communication Suite.
We will see a default template, which is the template that will be used on our emails and letters sent through the Communication Suite. We can edit the template by clicking the orange pencil icon.
At the top of the page we are able to change the name of the template. We can then edit the Email template and, below that, the Letter template.
To add an image for the header of our email template, click the cloud icon next to ‘Header Graphic’ then we can select our image from our hard drive. The default setting for the header image, and the footer image, is for it to be the full width of the email.
Below this we can add any header text we would like to appear. This will appear below the Header Graphic.
In the next section we can add our footer text, which appears below the Footer Graphic and, below that we can add our Footer Graphic by clicking the cloud icon.
The final section for the email template is the ‘Stylesheet Code’, which controls the layout of the header and footer sections in our email. If we are not familiar with CSS, we can leave this section as it is. If we do know CSS, or have someone who does, and we wish to make adjustments, then we can make changes here.
To check how the template looks, before saving it, we can click the Preview button.
Next we will see the Letter Template options, which reflect the email template options. These are set in the same way as the email template.
Once we are happy with our templates, we can click the Save button and our template will start to be used on our email and letter communications.
We are able to create additional templates by clicking the + Template button. Any additional templates that we create will be available for us to use with our Processes.
