Every text your members get starts with your club's name, so they know who it's from: "Cocoa & Co: Your birthday treat is on your pass…". To change the name, open **Text messages** and type the one you want.

## Steps

1. Open **Your club**, then [**Settings → Text messages**](https://app.useflub.com/manage/go/text-messages).
2. Under **Name in text messages**, type the name your members know you by. The grey name in the box is the one your texts use now.
3. Check the line underneath. It shows how a text will start.
4. Press **Save**.

The name can be up to 24 characters: letters, numbers and simple punctuation. Texts can't carry emoji.

## Where the automatic name comes from

Until you type one, your texts use your venue's name, so The Cocoa Club at a café called Cocoa & Co starts "Cocoa & Co:". If there's no venue name, they use your brand's name, then your club's name. A long name is shortened to whole words.

Clear the box and press **Save** to go back to the automatic name. It then follows any change to your venue's name.

## What happens next

The name goes on every text: broadcasts, automated offers, welcome texts, the codes members get when they join or sign in on your club's page, and test texts you send yourself. It takes a little room from your wording, and the counter in the composer already allows for it, so a text still costs 1 credit.
