Apply company branding to webparts in Outlook emails

Hi,

We are having issues with Outlook emails pulling through company branding from Viva Amplify.

We can customise the Outlook channel to edit the email output (i.e. changing the background colour of sections), but are struggling to change the colour theme for buttons - the buttons default to a blue theme and can't be changed.

I am aware that the Brand Center may soon be able to work with Viva Amplify Outlook emails. Will the Brand Center allow company colours to be applied to webparts such as buttons?

Thanks,
Jake

    Hi,

    Have you set the color theme for your campaign correctly? This is a common experience in Amplify caused by a very awkward placement of the option to change the theme. Technically, an Amplify campaign is just a SharePoint site. The UI of Amplify makes it seem like the campaign color you've chosen would be the theme of publications created within it, but that isn't the case. The campaign color is just to differentiate it from other campaigns in the Amplify dashboard.

    To change the color theme of publications in a campaign:

    Click the Settings button in the campaign

    Click "Change the look"

    Select from available themes from your organization or SharePoint

    I tested the email channel distribution just now and in Outlook Online the button showed with the color I chose. If your question is centered around Outlook for Desktop, that should still honor the chosen theme.

    Regarding the Brand Center, that is a central location for all theme and font packages for use across the entire tenant. So, if you've published a color theme from the Brand Center, it will appear as an option in the list of themes to assign to a campaign in the steps I outlined above. Again, it's very similar to choosing a theme for a SharePoint site or hub because Amplify sits on top of SharePoint.

    Hope this helps!
