Profile

Settings → Profile (/settings/profile) is where you set the public identity fans see on your Flo page and in subscriber-facing email copy: photo, name, bio, niche, and social URLs.

This page is separate from Page & domain (your myflo.link handle), Email sending (CAN-SPAM footer address), and Branding (checkout modal colors). Use Profile for who you are; use those sections for where you live on the web and how you get paid.

Also editable in the builder

Dashboard → Builder → click your profile header on the canvas → Edit profile header. That modal saves the same core fields (name, bio, avatar_url, social_links) plus header design (cover media, fonts, alignment). See Your Flo page for the public page overview.

Open Profile in Settings

Path	URL
Settings hub → Profile (group You)	`/settings/profile`
Settings sidebar	Profile — Your name, avatar, bio, and public identity on your Flo page.

Command palette (⌘K / Ctrl+K) → search Profile.

Page layout

Header:

Title: Profile
Description: This is how you appear on your Flo page and in emails to subscribers.

Two cards:

Public identity — avatar, display name, niche, bio (and UI fields described below)
Social links — edit URLs for platforms you already added elsewhere

There is no per-card Save button. Flo uses a sticky unsaved-changes bar at the top of the settings content area when you edit tracked fields.

Saving your changes

Action	Behavior
Edit Display name, niche, bio, or social URLs	Sticky bar: You have unsaved changes on this page.
Save changes	Writes to your `users` row; toast Profile saved; settings progress refreshes
Discard	Reverts to last loaded values
Leave the page with unsaved edits	Browser prompt — confirm before navigating away
Upload new avatar	Saves immediately after crop (does not wait for Save changes)

Tracked fields for dirty state: Display name, niche, bio, social link URLs (compared to what was loaded when you opened the page).

Public identity fields

Avatar

Detail	Value
Label	Avatar
Guidance	Square, at least 400×400. PNG or JPG.
Accepted files	JPEG, PNG, WebP
Max size	5 MB before crop
Flow	Choose file → crop modal → upload to `avatars` storage → `avatar_url` updated on your account
Errors	Please upload an image file · Image must be under 5MB · Avatar upload failed. Please try again.

Avatar upload does not require Save changes on the rest of the form.

Display name

Detail	Value
Help text	Shown on your page and receipts.
Stored as	`users.name`
Used for	Public profile header (with block overrides in the builder), broadcast footers (subscribed to [name]'s list), and other creator-facing labels

This is your creator display name, not your login email (see Account when documented).

Tagline

Detail	Value
Placeholder	`Yoga teacher · breathwork guide`
Saved?	No — the field appears in Settings but is not written to the database or included in Save changes today. Use Bio or the builder profile header for public copy.

What do you create content about? (niche)

Detail	Value
Purpose	Helps Write with AI generate bios that match your topic
Max length	100 characters
Stored as	`users.niche` (empty saves as `null`)
Public page	Not shown as a separate label to visitors; it informs AI only

Bio

Detail	Value
Help text	Up to 240 characters. Markdown supported.
Counter	`N / 240` in Settings (no hard `maxLength` on the textarea in this panel)
Stored as	`users.bio`
Builder limit	Edit profile header enforces 160 characters on the bio field. If you need one bio everywhere, keep it ≤ 160 or edit in the builder last.

Write with AI

Sparkle control on the bio field → Write with AI (tooltip; Creator plan gating is wired but currently off in this panel).
Tone pills after generation: Casual, Professional, Bold
Keep / Revert after a draft streams in
Uses your Display name and niche as context

Pronouns

Detail	Value
Options	`she/her` · `he/him` · `they/them` · `custom`
Saved?	No in Settings Profile today (UI only). Pronouns do save from Builder → Edit profile header into the header block settings.

Second card: Social links.

State	What you see
No links yet	Add social links from your profile editor flow. — add platforms in Builder → Edit profile header (Content tab → social editor).
Links on file	One row per platform with a URL field you can edit here

Save changes persists users.social_links (same list the live page uses when the header block does not override them).

Supported platforms

Flo supports: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, GitHub, Spotify, Twitch, Discord, Substack, Website, and Email.

Paste a full URL or a handle — Flo normalizes many platforms to canonical links when you save from the builder editor.

Where links appear

Public Flo page — profile header / social icon row when enabled
Header block — users.social_links is the source of truth unless the block stores its own copy (builder syncs both on save)

Where profile data shows up

Surface	Fields typically used
Live Flo page (`myflo.link/yourname`)	Name, bio, avatar, social icons (header block + `users` fallback)
Broadcast emails	Display name in footer copy; not your bio or avatar in the default footer
Email From name	Separate field under Settings → Email sending — defaults often follow your account name but is edited there
Checkout / receipts	Display name on receipts per Settings copy; checkout Branding is under Settings → Branding

For your public URL and SEO, see Your Flo page and Settings → Page & domain (/settings/page).

Settings hub and section status

The Setup ring on the settings hub includes tasks that point here:

Task	Done when
Add a profile photo	`avatar_url` is set → `/settings/profile`
Write your bio	`bio` is non-empty → `/settings/profile`

Related tasks on other pages:

Task	Page
Claim your handle	Settings → Page & domain
Add compliance address	Settings → Email sending — Physical address

Settings → Profile row status:

Status	Meaning
Complete	Display name, bio, and avatar are all set
Needs update	Any of those three is missing

Not on this page

Topic	Where to configure
`myflo.link` handle / username	Settings → Page & domain — read-only after signup
Physical / business address (CAN-SPAM)	Settings → Email sending → Business address — Physical address
Custom domain, SEO, social preview image	Settings → Page & domain
Checkout colors, logo, fonts	Settings → Branding (`/settings/branding`)
Login email, password, 2FA	Settings → Account (`/settings/account`)
Cover photo / video, header fonts, status pill	Builder → Edit profile header → Design tab

Physical address is not here

Some in-app broadcast errors still say Settings → Profile for a mailing address. The live field is Settings → Email sending → Business address.

Builder vs Settings — quick comparison

Feature	Settings → Profile	Builder → Edit profile header
Avatar, name, bio, social URLs	Yes	Yes
Niche (AI context)	Yes	No
Bio AI assist	Yes (240 UI)	Yes (160 max)
Cover media, alignment, fonts	No	Yes (Design tab)
Pronouns, location, status pill	No (pronouns UI not saved here)	Yes (block settings)
Tagline field	Shown, not saved	No

After either path saves, publish or Update live in the builder so visitors see changes — see Publish your first page.

Troubleshooting

Issue	What to do
Changes not on live page	Update live in the builder; confirm you edited the live page, not only an A/B variant
Save changes disabled / no bar	Edit a tracked field (name, niche, bio, or social URL)
Avatar reverted after upload	Check file type and 5 MB limit; retry Upload new
Social section empty	Open Builder → Edit profile header → add platforms → save → return to Settings to edit URLs
Bio longer in Settings than builder allows	Shorten to 160 characters or save from the builder header modal
Tagline / pronouns in Settings disappeared	Those Settings fields are not persisted yet; use bio or the builder header
Setup still says Needs update	Set Display name, Bio, and upload Avatar
Broadcasts blocked for address	Fix under Email sending, not Profile — Physical address

Quick checklist

Settings → Profile → upload Avatar (400×400+, under 5 MB)
Set Display name and Bio (≤ 160 if you also use the builder)
Optional: niche for AI; add social links in the builder, then tune URLs in Settings
Save changes
Dashboard → Builder → Update live if the public page should refresh immediately

What's next?

Your Flo page — handle, visibility, draft vs live
Physical address — CAN-SPAM Business address for broadcasts
Email domain — sending domain and From identity
Profile & branding — related settings overview (checkout branding lives under Settings → Branding)
Flo Payments setup — earnings account (separate from profile identity)
