White-label app-review replies: put your agency's brand on it
Replace the product name and logo with yours and send client emails from your own verified domain, with each client app isolated: its own voice, rules, and knowledge.
The Argus Team
Reply Argus
If you manage app reviews for clients, the tool you use should read as yours, not as a third party your client could have hired directly. White-label makes that true on two fronts that clients actually notice: the product chrome carries your logo and your product name instead of Reply Argus, and the emails your clients receive come from your own verified sending domain instead of a generic sender. Underneath, every client runs as its own isolated workspace, so one client's voice, rules, and knowledge never bleed into another's.
This guide covers what white-label replaces, how the verified-domain sending works and why it fails closed until you prove the domain, how per-client isolation is structured, and how team roles and seats fit an agency that adds and removes people as engagements start and end.
What does white-label actually replace?
Two things carry your brand where clients see it. First, the app chrome: your custom logo and your product name replace the Reply Argus branding, so a client logging in, or a screenshot in your monthly report, shows your brand rather than a vendor's. Second, and more consequential, the customer-facing emails go out from your own sending domain once you have verified it. A notification that arrives from your agency's domain reinforces that the client hired you; one from an unfamiliar sender invites the question of who that is.
The domain step is the one to get right, because it fails closed. Until your sending domain is verified, emails fall back to the default sender rather than spoofing an unverified address. That is deliberate: sending from an unverified domain is how you land in spam folders and damage deliverability for everyone. Verify the domain and the fallback lifts; until then your clients still get their emails, just from the safe default.
Unverified domain, safe fallback
Verified-domain sending fails closed. If the domain is not yet verified, Reply Argus does not send from it; it uses the default sender. This protects your deliverability rather than quietly emitting mail from an address the receiving servers cannot authenticate. Finish domain verification before you promise a client that mail will arrive from your address.
- 1
Set your brand
Upload your logo and set your product name. The app chrome now shows your brand instead of Reply Argus, so client-facing screens and screenshots read as your product.
- 2
Verify your sending domain
Add and verify the domain you want customer emails to come from. Until verification completes, mail uses the safe default sender; once it passes, emails go out from your domain.

Give each client its own workspace
Run one org per client. Each is an isolated workspace with its own voice, rules, and knowledge, so nothing crosses between clients. A profile, a do-not-say line, or a knowledge doc set for one client stays with that client.

Staff it with roles and seats
Add your team with the role each person needs (owner, admin, publisher, drafter, viewer). Seats are included with the tier, and viewers are free, so read-only client stakeholders never cost a seat.
How are clients kept separate?
Isolation is the part that makes white-label safe to run at scale. Each client is its own org: a separate workspace with its own brand-voice profiles, its own do-not-say rules, and its own knowledge base. One client per org is the model, and it is not just cosmetic separation. Cross-org reads are scoped in code, so a person or process working in one client's workspace cannot see another's data. When you switch between clients you switch active org, and everything (apps, reviews, voice, rules, knowledge) switches with it.
This matters because agency clients are often competitors, or at least would never want their tone-of-voice guide, their banned-claims list, or their product knowledge visible to another company you also serve. Keeping each client in its own org means that separation is structural, not a policy you have to remember to enforce.
How do team roles and seats work for an agency?
Agencies churn people through engagements, so roles and seats are built for that. The ladder is owner, admin, publisher, drafter, and viewer. An owner handles billing and ownership; an admin configures the workspace and manages teammates; a publisher drafts and publishes replies; a drafter can draft but never publish, which is ideal for a junior who should not push to a client's store unreviewed; and a viewer is read-only. Seats are bundled with the tier rather than sold per head, and viewers do not consume a seat at all, so you can give a client stakeholder read-only visibility into their own workspace for free.
The drafter role is the one agencies underuse. It lets you put new or contract staff to work generating replies without ever risking an unreviewed reply going live on a client's public listing. Publishing stays with the people you trust to publish, while the drafting volume can come from anyone.
Free viewers make client transparency easy
Give client stakeholders the viewer role. It is free, it never costs a seat, and it lets a client watch their own workspace (reviews, replies, digests) without any ability to change settings or publish. It is the cleanest way to offer transparency without handing over control, and without inflating your seat count.
Who can use it?
White-label is available on the Studio tier. It bundles the custom logo and product name, verified-domain sending, per-client org isolation, and the full role ladder with included seats and free viewers. The model is one org per client, which is what keeps each client's voice, rules, and knowledge cleanly separate.
Frequently asked
- What does white-label change that my clients will see?
- Two things: the app chrome shows your logo and product name instead of Reply Argus, and customer-facing emails come from your own verified sending domain instead of a generic sender. Both reinforce that your client hired you, not a third-party vendor.
- What happens to emails before I verify my domain?
- They still send, but from the safe default sender rather than your domain. Verified-domain sending fails closed: it will not send from an unverified domain, because that would hurt deliverability. Once your domain passes verification, emails go out from your address automatically.
- How is one client's data kept separate from another's?
- Each client is its own isolated workspace (one org per client) with its own brand-voice profiles, do-not-say rules, and knowledge base. Cross-org reads are scoped in code, so working in one client's workspace never exposes another's data. Switching clients switches the active org and everything with it.
- What team roles are available and how are seats counted?
- The ladder is owner, admin, publisher, drafter, and viewer. Seats are bundled with the tier rather than sold per head, and viewers are free and never consume a seat. Drafters can draft but not publish, which is ideal for junior or contract staff.
- Can I give a client read-only access to their own workspace?
- Yes. Assign them the viewer role. It is free, never costs a seat, and lets them see their reviews, replies, and digests without any ability to change settings or publish. It is the standard way to offer clients transparency without handing over control.
- Which plan includes white-label?
- The Studio tier. It includes the custom logo and product name, verified-domain sending, per-client org isolation, and the full role ladder with included seats and free viewers. The intended model is one org per client.
