Optimized Forms: More Branding and Sender Control in 26.3

The 26.3 release adds more control over how optimized forms look and communicate with donors, building on the branding card and autoresponder foundation already in place.

  • Custom branding card fonts and colors: Branding card fonts and button colors currently use a shared service library, so every organization's branding card looks the same. In 26.3, you can customize these fonts and colors to match your organization's brand guidelines.

  • Selectable page wrappers for hosted URLs: When you generate a Hosted URL for your optimized form today, Luminate Online automatically applies your site's default page wrapper. In 26.3, a new option in the setup wizard lets you select which custom page wrapper applies to that form.

  • Custom autoresponder sender information: Autoresponder receipt emails from an optimized form currently use your organization's master sender name and email address. In 26.3, you can set a custom sender name and reply email address for autoresponder receipts on that specific donation form.

Together, these updates give your team finer control over the look and feel of every optimized form you publish.
