General Settings

Configure the fundamental settings that define your fellos site — organization name, timezone, contact information, and more.

The General Settings page is found under ORGANIZATION → General in the admin sidebar. These settings are used across the entire platform — in page titles, email notifications, the public homepage, and anywhere your organization's name or details appear.

The General Settings page — configure your organization's name, timezone, and contact information.

Organization Name

Your organization's full name appears in several places throughout fellos:

  • The browser tab title (e.g., "Feed — Riverside Motorcycle Club")
  • The public homepage
  • Email notification headers
  • Legal pages and footer

Enter your organization's official name as you want it displayed. This should be the complete, formal name — "Riverside Motorcycle Club" rather than just "Riverside MC."

Short Name

The short name is a compact identifier for your organization, limited to 4 characters. It appears in places where space is tight — compact navigation elements, mobile headers, and avatar fallbacks when no logo is set.

Common examples: "RMC," "BPOE," "VFW," "AMA," "FOP." Choose something recognizable to your members.

Default Timezone

The default timezone affects how event times, scheduled notifications, and other time-sensitive features are displayed. Members can set their own timezone in their personal settings, but the default is used for:

  • Event creation (the default timezone for new events)
  • Scheduled notifications and emails
  • Audit log timestamps
  • Members who haven't set a personal timezone

Select the timezone from the dropdown that matches your organization's primary location. If your organization spans multiple timezones, choose the one where your headquarters or largest chapter is located.

Contact Email

The contact email address is displayed on your public-facing pages and in the site footer. It gives visitors and members a way to reach your organization's administrators. This should be a monitored email address — not a personal email, but a shared administrative address like admin@yourclub.org or info@yourclub.org.

Good to know

The contact email is different from the email integration settings. The contact email is a display address shown on your site. Email integration (configured under Integrations → Email) controls how fellos sends outgoing emails like notifications and invitations.

Saving Changes

After making changes to any field on this page, click the Save Changes button at the bottom. Changes take effect immediately — there's no need to restart anything or wait for a cache to clear.

Tip

All changes to General Settings are recorded in the Audit Log, including the previous and new values. This makes it easy to track who changed what and when.
