Profile Settings

The Profile tab is the simplest tab in Settings. It controls one thing: the name of your TribeNest profile.

Your profile name is the artist or brand name that appears throughout your dashboard, on receipts, in emails to fans, and anywhere else TribeNest needs to refer to you. It's worth getting right — but it's also easy to update if you rebrand later.

How to update your profile name

1. Open Settings from the sidebar.
2. Stay on the Profile tab (it's selected by default).
3. Type the new name into the Name field.
4. Click Save.

You'll see a quick confirmation toast when the change goes through. If you click Save without changing anything, TribeNest tells you there's nothing to update — no harm done.

What counts as a valid name

There are two simple rules:

• At least 4 characters — short codes and single words like "Me" don't pass.
• At most 50 characters — long enough for almost any band name, label, or stage alias.

If you go outside that range, you'll see an inline error under the field. Fix it and try again.

Where your profile name shows up

Once you save, the new name flows into:

• The header of your TribeNest dashboard
• Receipts and order confirmations sent to fans
• Outgoing emails from your account
• The default display name across your storefront and any new content you create

Fans who already received an email or receipt with the old name won't see those updated retroactively — only future communications use the new name.

What's not on this tab

A few things you might expect to find here actually live elsewhere:

• Profile handle, bio, avatar, social links — these are part of your public-facing artist site and live under my website, not here.
• Default currency and timezone — currency lives on the payment setup tab. There's no manual timezone setting; TribeNest uses your browser's timezone wherever it needs one.
• Your sign-in email and password — managed from your account menu, not from the Settings page.
• The "from" address fans see on emails — that's set under emails, where you also pick the sender name on each campaign.

When to update your profile name

Most artists set this once during onboarding and never come back. The times you'll want to revisit it:

• You're rebranding — picking a new stage name, dropping a label suffix, or merging projects.
• You misspelled it during signup — it happens. Fix it here, then double-check your sender name on the emails settings too.
• You're going from solo to band — switching from "Jane Doe" to "Jane Doe Band" usually means updating both this name and your address type on the business address tab.

There's no limit on how often you can change it, but constantly renaming will confuse fans across receipts and emails. Pick a name and let it stick for a season.

If you have a team

Every team member sees the Profile tab, but the change applies to the entire workspace's profile name — not to individual team members' personal accounts. If you change "JUNO" to "JUNO Music", everyone on the team will see the new name on their next dashboard load.
