For admins

Branding your Circle

A Circle is a private, branded community for a university, school, workplace, or local group. From Settings → Branding you set the Circle's name, logo, and brand colours — the reference Circle is FGCU, the Florida Gulf Coast University "Eagles." Those colours flow through the member app and the public embed widget, so everything stays on-brand without anyone touching code.

Announcements

Announcements pin a message to the top of every member's Circle screen — perfect for kicking off a challenge, thanking a sponsor, or sharing an event. Write one from Announcements in the dashboard, choose how long it runs, and it appears for everyone in the Circle.

Members

The Members screen lists everyone in your Circle and lets you invite more. Private Circles (workplaces, schools) can require a verified email domain or an invite link; admins can bulk-invite by email or CSV. You can also promote another member to admin from the Admin-users screen.

Team & roles

If you manage the whole organisation, the Team & roles screen (under Platform) is where you bring on other admins. It's separate from the Members screen: members belong to a Circle, whereas a team invite gives someone admin access to run a Circle.

Invite a Circle admin

1. Open Platform → Team and click Invite member.
2. Enter their email address and choose the Circle they'll administer.
3. Click Send invite. They get an email with an accept link, and become a Circle admin the moment they accept.

Every team invite joins as a Circle admin for the Circle you pick — there's no role picker on the invite itself. The invitee doesn't need an existing account; accepting the link creates one. Re-inviting the same email cancels the earlier pending invite, so it's safe to resend.

Good to know

• The new admin shows up in the Team members table only after they accept — invites are delivered by email and accepted on their own time.
• To invite ordinary members (or bulk-invite by email or CSV), use the Members screen instead.
• Inviting platform owners who span every Circle is a setup step handled by your operator during deployment, not from this screen.

The embed widget

Drop a live, read-only kindness widget onto any website to show your Circle's acts and totals in real time. Configure what it shows from the dashboard, then paste a single snippet — developers can find the embed code and the full API in the Developers reference.
