Project settings

Open Project settings near the bottom of your project’s navigation. These settings apply to the project you’re viewing.

General

Change the Project name and choose Save. This name appears in customer-facing places such as page titles and emails. Renaming the project doesn’t change its URL; publish your site again to update the name there.

The Business description is what Spark remembers about your business. Keep it accurate as your audience, services, or priorities change. Spark can update it as your project develops, and your edits save automatically.

Choose Apply changes when you want Spark to update the project to match the description. This uses Build credits. Review any public-site changes in the preview before publishing.

Brand

Use Brand to set your colors, fonts, logos, and look and feel. You can also import a starting point from an existing website, then adjust it.

Choose Apply changes to save and ask Spark to update the project. Check the result in the preview; public-site changes need publishing.

You can also ask Spark in the chat to change your colors, fonts, or look and feel, for example to match what your site already uses. Logos are uploaded here.

Domain and email

Domain controls your Spark address and any connected custom domain. Follow Custom domains for setup instructions.

Email controls the address your project’s emails come from, the sender name customers see, and where replies go. See Send email from your own domain.

Email also lists the people who unsubscribed from your marketing email, and the addresses Spark stopped sending to because earlier email bounced or was marked as spam. The list is read-only. A customer who unsubscribed by mistake can resubscribe from the unsubscribe link in any earlier marketing email; if they can’t, contact Spark support.

Email also holds your Lists of people who aren’t customers yet, such as a waitlist or a list you uploaded. See Email people who aren’t customers yet.

Updates

Updates lists improvements Spark has made that your project can use. Each update says what it does and when Spark offered it. An update marked Fixes a problem found in this project fixes something Spark ran into while working on your project.

Spark applies updates for you. Apply updates automatically is on unless you turn it off, and an update Spark is going to apply says Spark will apply this automatically. Spark applies these at no cost. A change to your public site waits in the preview until you publish, and an update that changes your public site starts only when the site has no unpublished changes, so publish or undo your own edits first. Once applied, an update says Applied automatically.

Some updates always wait for you, such as one for a feature your project doesn’t use yet. They don’t say Spark will apply them.

Choose Apply to start an update yourself. Spark makes the change in your project’s chat, where you can follow it, and an update you apply uses Build credits. While Spark works, the update says Spark is applying this. Changes to internal tools, and to the parts of your site that run on the server, take effect when Spark finishes. Spark’s last message says which happened.

Choose Dismiss to hide an update you don’t want. Updates marked Required or Security fix can’t be dismissed. Applied updates stay on the list for 14 days.

When Spark offers a new update, a message in the project chat points you to it and says whether Spark will apply it.

If Spark can’t finish an automatic update, it undoes what it changed and says so in the project chat. The update stays on the list, marked Couldn’t apply automatically, and you can still apply it yourself. When some changes couldn’t be undone, the message asks you to check your preview before you publish.

Turn off Apply updates automatically to choose each update yourself. Spark still applies Required updates, at no cost. Your project’s owners get an email when Spark starts a required update and another when it finishes.

AI settings and credentials

If your site has AI features, AI settings holds the model, instructions, and knowledge behind them.

Credentials holds secret values needed by connected services. If Spark asks you to add a key, add it there using the name it specifies. Saved values aren’t shown again.

Health

Health shows problems Spark has noticed, such as failed scheduled work, email pauses, or a quota that is close to its limit or has reached it. Open an alert and follow its suggested action. Where offered, Ask the agent to look sends the issue to Spark to investigate.

A quota alert appears when a quota reaches 80% of its limit, and again when it reaches the limit or refuses a request that would have gone over it, such as a file larger than the room that’s left. Smaller requests still work until the limit is reached. Spark emails your organization’s owners and admins about both. For any one quota, that’s at most one email every three days while it’s close and one a day once it’s reached. Open Quotas takes you to the quota.

You can turn project alert emails off in Account settings → Notifications. See Email from Spark.

Quotas

Quotas shows the quotas your project is using, each against its limit (today’s use for a daily quota, and what your project holds now for one that caps what it stores). The remaining quotas are under Not used in the last 30 days, and the limits that are the same on every plan under Fixed limits. See Limits and supported features for each plan’s quotas and what happens when one reaches its limit.

Account settings

Your profile, Spark subscription, usage, and Stripe connection live in Account settings, reached from your account menu. Those settings are shared across projects. See Plans and credits for billing and usage.
