  • Last updated on September 23, 2024 at 5:05 PM

To brand the portal for your SMS Responder please follow the steps below:

Before proceeding with Branding Steps: Please see our Custom Domains & SSL Certificates article for steps to customize your application using your own custom domain and protecting it with a free generated SSL certificate or your own provided SSL certificate. Please remember the custom domain will not be selectable for branding until this process is complete.

Attention: Remember that you need to create the DNS CNAME record for the subdomain (ex. smsresponder.examplefqdn.com) that you will be using for the branding and point it to partners.dashmanager.com.

Branding the Portal

  1. Log in to your partner dashmanager.
  2. Click on Settings under your avatar name dropdown menu. (Note: Only available to Company Admins.)
  3. Click on SMS under the Branding section.

  4. In the Branded Domain section, you set the SSL Certificate to use in the upper dropdown menu and you can choose the Domain the branding will apply to in the lower dropdown menu. 

    The options for SSL Certificates in the dropdown come from the certificates that you have uploaded in the SSL page under Branding in the left side menu.
    The options for Domains come from the domains that are available from the selected SSL Certificate.

  5. If the SSL Certificate chosen is a wildcard certificate that will cover multiple subdomains the option to choose for the domain dropdown is the one with the asterisk (*) (ex. *.examplefqdn.com). This will result in a subdomain field to appear where you can specify the subdomain for this branding setup.

  6. When done setting the SSL Certificate and Domain click on the Save button and proceed to the next section of the page.

    The message DNS Unprovisioned will appear if the CNAME has not been pointed to the selected domain and clicking the message will open a dialog showing the missing CNAME record.
