Xoxoday Empuls preserves your organisation’s logos, colours, and themes within Microsoft Teams webviews, and allows full customisation of the engagement bot so your brand identity carries through every native Teams interaction.
Branding within Microsoft Teams
When your organisation deploys Xoxoday Empuls inside Microsoft Teams, the integration is designed to respect the visual identity you have already configured. Brand elements set up on the Xoxoday Empuls web platform — including logos, colour schemes, and custom themes — are automatically carried over into embedded webviews within Teams. This means employees accessing recognition feeds, reward catalogues, or pulse surveys through the Teams tab see the same branded experience they would on the web. There is no need to reconfigure branding separately for the Teams environment; Xoxoday Empuls handles the consistency automatically.Where Native Teams Styling Takes Over
Microsoft Teams applies its own visual defaults to certain native interface elements. Bot messages, push notifications, and adaptive cards rendered by Teams may use Teams’ standard fonts, colours, and layout rather than your organisation’s brand colours. This is a platform-level behaviour governed by Microsoft, not by Xoxoday Empuls. For example, when the Xoxoday Empuls engagement bot sends a peer recognition notification or nudges an employee to complete a survey, the message bubble follows Teams’ native styling. Employees still receive the message and take action, but the visual treatment is controlled by the Teams client rather than your brand configuration.Customising the Engagement Bot
To bridge this gap, Xoxoday Empuls gives administrators the ability to customise the engagement bot itself. You can rename the bot from its default name to something that aligns with your company culture — for instance, naming it after an internal mascot or your HR brand. The bot’s display name and avatar can also be updated to reflect your organisation’s identity. This level of customisation ensures that even within Teams’ native messaging experience, the bot feels like a natural extension of your brand rather than a generic third-party tool. Combined with the branded webviews, this approach delivers a cohesive employee experience from recognition to redemption.Maintaining Brand Continuity at Scale
For organisations with a strong employer brand — especially those using Microsoft Teams as the primary collaboration hub — Xoxoday Empuls makes it straightforward to maintain visual consistency. Whether an employee is browsing the rewards catalogue inside a Teams tab or receiving a milestone recognition message from the bot, the experience stays connected to your organisation’s identity. This is particularly valuable in globally distributed teams where Microsoft Teams is the single digital workplace, making the branded Xoxoday Empuls experience the primary touchpoint for recognition and engagement programmes.
