Branding Templates

Create reusable branding for reports, email, SMS, and audio delivery

Branding templates let a Pro or Elite workspace reuse its logo, colors, terminology, and delivery copy across intelligence profiles.

Branding requires an active Pro or Elite workspace. Pro supports up to 10 templates; Elite supports up to 100.

Create and assign a template

Open Branding

In the app, go to InfoOps → Branding, then select New Template.

Name the template

Use a name that identifies where the branding belongs, such as “Company Briefings” or “Client Deliverables.” A template name can contain up to 50 characters.

You can also mark the template as the workspace default. Only one template can hold that marker at a time.

Configure the output

Add only the elements you need. Any omitted values fall back to Y2 defaults.

AreaAvailable settings
Visual identityLogo, logo alt text, header color, accent color
TerminologyReport type and analyst role
Delivery copyEmail preview prefix, SMS prefix, audio intro, audio outro
Static contentOptional content before or after a report

Save the template

Resolve any validation errors, then select Save.

Assign it to a profile

Create or edit a profile, open Advanced, select the branding template, and save the profile. Branding is applied when that profile is rendered or delivered.

The Set as Default marker is unique, but the current profile editor still requires you to select a branding template explicitly. Verify the assignment in Advanced instead of relying on the default marker alone.

Visual identity

The branding editor accepts PNG, JPEG, SVG, and WebP files up to 2 MB. Add meaningful alt text for recipients who cannot see the image.

PropertyEnforced limit
File size2 MB
Logo alt text100 characters

Use a wide logo with a transparent background when possible, then preview a delivered email to confirm that it remains legible at small sizes.

Colors

Header and accent colors accept three- or six-digit hex values, such as #05c or #0055cc. Values are normalized when the template is saved.

Use only hex colors. Invalid values are rejected by server-side validation.

Terminology and delivery copy

Use {name} in supported text fields to insert the assigned profile's name.

Prop

Type

For pronunciation rules that apply to names, acronyms, or technical terms, use a pronunciation dictionary.

Add static content

Each template can place one content block before the report and another after it. A block can use the callout, highlight, or sponsor style and can contain channel-specific copy.

ContentEnforced limitUsed by
Label30 charactersBlock heading
HTML500 charactersEmail and rendered report
Audio text200 charactersAudio narration

The {name} placeholder is supported in the label, HTML, and audio text.

Server-side limits control what can be saved. Keep static HTML at or below 500 characters, audio text at or below 200, and labels at or below 30 even if an editor counter displays a larger allowance.

Static HTML is sanitized before it is stored and rendered. Scripts, embedded forms, event handlers, unsafe URLs, iframes, and similar executable elements are removed. Use simple formatting and links rather than interactive markup.

Update or remove a template

Assigned profiles reference the template rather than copying it. Changes therefore affect subsequent renders and deliveries from every profile using that template.

To delete a template:

Find assigned profiles

Edit each profile that uses the template.

Remove or replace the assignment

Select another template or clear the branding selection, then save the profile.

Delete the template

Return to InfoOps → Branding, select Delete, and confirm.

The backend rejects deletion while any profile still references the template. Unassign every profile first, even if the confirmation dialog suggests that profiles will fall back automatically.

API boundary

The public profile create and update schemas expose brandingTemplateId. Use the generated Profiles API reference for the canonical request schema and required scopes.

Creating, editing, and deleting branding templates is currently an app-only workflow; dedicated branding-management endpoints are not part of the public OpenAPI document.
