Site Configuration

Basic Settings

Accurately configuring the portal's name and associated email address is crucial, particularly in terms of the website's communication with end users. These settings must be set correctly to prevent any potential confusion when users receive notifications from the portal.

These configs are accessible from the Drupal menu:

Configuration → System → Basic site settings

Or via a quick link in the left admin menu:

All pertinent settings can be found under “Site Details”:

• Site Name: A required field that typically appears in the <title> tags of every page on the website. It’s also used as the sender’s name when emailing notifications to users.

• Slogan: Typically, page titles use the following format: Page Name | Site Name

  • Example: “Get Started | Apiboost Dev Portal”

  • Slogan is typically used in place of a Page Name.

    • Example: Using a slogan for homepage: “The Best Place for APIs | Dev Portal Name” instead of: “Home | Dev Portal Name”. It’s not as common to do this for inner content, which usually has its own metadata.

  • Is optional, but can be configured to meet marketing needs

• Email address: All automated emails will use this address, including (but not limited to):

  • New site registrations

  • Password recovery

  • Team invites

  • Product access requests

Using a legitimate email delivery service and address can help avoid being marked as spam
