About Stewardship Email Branding
Stewardship emails (Email Journeys) allow you to send personalised, automated emails to your participants.
Unlike transaction emails, which are branded at the event level, stewardship emails use account-level branding settings.
This means your branding is applied consistently across all stewardship emails in your account.
Where to Find Stewardship Email Branding
To update your stewardship email branding:
Click your account name in the top right
Go to Account Settings
Select Emails
Open the Branding tab
This is where you can control the global styling for all stewardship emails.
How Branding Works
The branding you set here will:

You can still make small adjustments within individual emails, but the global branding acts as your base design.
