Branding, domain, email, payments. A workspace is configured once and then it is yours. Each setting falls back to a sensible default until you set it, so you can start sending immediately and make it more yours over time. Here is everything that can be configured. 8 min read Updated Jun 2026 ## Branding Your **brand name** and **wordmark** appear in the header and on the proposal cover. Your **accent colour** themes buttons, links, and the client view. Upload a **logo**, a **dark logo**, and a **favicon**. This is what makes the client view unmistakably yours. ## Custom domain Point your own hostname (for example `proposals.youragency.com`) at the platform so proposals live on your domain. Verification and certificate status are tracked for you. Until a domain is wired up, your workspace runs on the shared host and everything still works. ## Sending email Client invitations and notifications send from **your** identity: your from-name and address, on your own email provider key. Your client gets an email from you, not from Kensink. Until configured, mail falls back to the global sender. ## Slack alerts Connect a Slack incoming webhook and your team is pinged in your own channel on the moments that matter: a new proposal, a client opening it, a reply, and a payment. ## Stripe payments There are two ways to connect payments, and the money lands in your account: - **Connect**: link your Stripe account in a few clicks. Charges run on your behalf and settle to you. - **Keys**: provide your own Stripe secret key. Checkout on the Costing tab resolves to your Stripe first, with a platform fallback so payments work the moment either is in place. Secrets are stored securely and are never shown back in the browser. ## AI voice Add a prompt overlay so AI drafts sound like you, not like a generic template. It composes into the writing engine for proposal and section drafting, so every generated paragraph carries your tone and positioning. ## Products Keep an optional catalogue of your offerings (name, summary, spec, marketing copy, price) as reference material the AI and your team can draw on while drafting. ## Team access Add the email addresses allowed into your portal. Each becomes a magic-link sign-in. Remove an address to revoke access immediately. Your team only ever sees your workspace. Most of this is set up for you during onboarding. If you need a change to branding, domain, email, or Stripe, the Kensink team can update it from the partners console in minutes.
