Important: Custom URL

If you provide your chosen custom URL whilst completing the Project Setup Form, this will be picked up by a dedicated resource who will email you to confirm that the URL is in place.
If you wait until the project is in process to confirm your custom URL, please contact the live chat team from the CMS and they will get this setup for you.
Please note: We can only purchase custom URL's that are available, with a maximum of £25 cost to purchase the domain. If you have a preferred URL that is more expensive than this, we will provide guidance on how to purchase and assign this to the event platform.

Security

CrowdComms are ISO-27001 accredited, trusted by global brands and some of the most security conscious organisations. We have a number of options to choose from to make sure only approved users can access, and that platform security is appropriate for the type of content and users accessing.

Note: Single Sign On (SSO) available. Discuss options with your account manager and support manager.

Branding

Here you will have the chance to apply your brand colours, custom font(s), and upload default images to be present on your platform including favicon, and the background image. For more advanced users there is also the option to apply platform wide custom css in this section.
