My Profile

Managing Your Profile

Your profile is how other organizers, vendors, and guests recognize you inside Velora chats. Use this screen to set your photo, name, and status, and to control which notifications you receive.

Note

Your profile details are visible to people you chat with on Velora, so keep your name and photo recognizable - especially if you coordinate with vendors who only know you by your business name.

Change Your Profile Photo

How to get there: Connect > My Profile

1. Tap your profile picture at the top of the screen.
2. Tap Add photo (or Change photo if you already have one).
3. Allow access to your photos if you are asked.
4. Select the picture you want from your gallery.
5. Wait for the spinner on your picture to finish - your new photo saves automatically.

To see your current photo full-screen, tap it and choose View photo. To go back to a plain initials avatar, tap it and choose Remove photo, then confirm with Remove.

Tip

A clear headshot works better than a logo when you are chasing vendors during peak wedding or Diwali season. People reply faster to a face they recognize in a busy chat list.

Update Your Name

1. Tap the Name row.
2. Enter your name in the box.
3. Tap Save.

Your name appears on every message you send, so use the name your team and vendors actually know you by.

Next Best Action

After setting your name and photo, most organizers:

• Coordinating a wedding or large event: Start a group chat with your vendors
• Working with a team: Invite co-organizers

Set a Custom Status

Your custom status is a short line - with an optional emoji - that tells people what you are up to.

1. Tap the Custom Status row.
2. Pick an emoji and type a short message.
3. Save the status.

Your status updates right away on the screen.

Tip

Statuses save your team a lot of guesswork on event day. Try At the venue, On call with caterer, or Sangeet rehearsal - back by 6pm.

Control Your Notifications

Scroll down to the Notifications section.

1. Turn Push Notifications on to get alerts on your phone.
2. Turn Email Notifications on to get updates by email.

Each switch saves as soon as you tap it.

Caution

Turning off push notifications means you will not be alerted about new messages on your phone. During the final week before an event, keep push on so vendor questions do not sit unanswered.

Choose Who Can Message You

1. Tap Message privacy.
2. Set who can message you and how message requests are handled.

Troubleshooting

“Unable to load profile” - Your connection dropped before your details finished loading. Check your internet and reopen the screen.

“Failed to upload photo” - The image could not be saved. Try a smaller photo, switch from mobile data to Wi-Fi, and upload again.

“Upload error” - Something interrupted the upload midway. Wait a moment, then tap your picture and choose Change photo to retry.

Your gallery does not open - Velora needs permission to read your photos. Allow photo access when prompted, or enable it for Velora in your phone’s settings.

Your name did not change - Blank names and unchanged names are ignored. Type a different name and tap Save.

Your email and phone cannot be edited here - These come from your account details, not your chat profile. Change them in account settings.
