How to Create a Branded Company Card Directory at /share/yourcompany
A company card directory gives your whole organization a single, branded home for digital business cards: one link that lists every team member's card, all matching your brand. With AtlasLinq's Enterprise plan, that directory lives at atlaslinq.com/share/yourcompany. This guide explains how it works and how to set it up properly.
What a Company Directory Is
When you create an Enterprise team with a company slug, say "acme", AtlasLinq generates two things:
- A company directory at
atlaslinq.com/share/acmethat lists your members - An individual branded card for each member at
atlaslinq.com/share/acme/membername
Instead of every employee maintaining a disconnected personal card, the directory ties them together under one consistent, recognizable brand, and gives you one URL to share for the entire company.
Step 1: Choose Your Company Slug
The slug is the public address of your directory, so choose it deliberately: short, recognizable, and ideally matching your brand name. You set it when you create the team under Settings → Team. A slug of "acme" produces atlaslinq.com/share/acme. Treat it like a domain: it's what you'll print and link to everywhere.
The rules are narrow on purpose, because this string ends up printed on things:
- Lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens. Nothing else, including spaces and underscores.
- Between two and forty characters.
- Not one of the addresses the site itself uses. Words like
share,blog,pricing,supportandcareersare reserved, so a company legitimately called Support cannot take that slug.
Pick it once. The slug is what you print on cards, stands and signage, and every one of those becomes wrong the day you change it. If your legal name and your trading name differ, use the one people will type.
How member addresses get generated
You do not choose member slugs. Each one is derived from the member's display name, lowercased with spaces turned into hyphens and anything that is not a letter, number or hyphen dropped. Alex Rivera becomes alex-rivera, so their card is at /share/acme/alex-rivera. If a member has no display name yet, the part of their email address before the @ is used instead.
Two people with the same name do not collide. The second one to join gets a numbered variant, so a second Alex Rivera lands at alex-rivera-1. Worth knowing before you print anything for a large team: check the address rather than assuming it, because the person who joined first got the clean one.
Step 2: Configure Brand Consistency
From the admin dashboard at atlaslinq.com/dashboard, set up the company card template that every member card inherits:
- Logo: your company logo appears on each member's card
- Colors: brand colors applied consistently across the directory
- Locked fields: values members can't edit, such as the company name and website, so every card stays accurate and on-brand
Locked fields are the key to consistency: members fill in their own name, title, phone, and email, but the shared brand elements stay fixed across the whole directory.
Step 3: Add Members to the Directory
Invite members by email from the Team section. As each person signs in and becomes active, their branded card is published at atlaslinq.com/share/yourcompany/membername and appears in the directory. For larger teams, group people into departments so the directory stays organized.
Step 4: Share the Directory
Now put your one link to work. A company directory is far more powerful than scattered individual cards because every placement points to the whole team:
| Where to place it | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Company website footer | Visitors browse straight to the right contact |
| Email signatures | Every email links to the full team directory |
| Printed materials and booths | One QR code for the whole company |
| Social media bios | A single, branded link in lieu of one personal profile |
When someone leaves
This is the part that separates a directory you maintain from one you abandon, and it is worth deciding before your first departure rather than during it.
Removing a member and revoking their access are different operations with different consequences. Revoking access stops them signing in and editing anything, which is what you want the moment a laptop goes back. Removing them takes the card out of the directory entirely, which is what you want once you are sure nothing still points at it.
Do them in that order, and leave a gap. A departing salesperson's card address may be printed on material still in circulation, and a card that quietly stops resolving looks worse to a customer than one that is simply no longer staffed. Revoke first, reassign the leads, then remove. Team roles and permissions covers who is allowed to do either.
Rolling it out to a real team
Directories fail in a predictable way: the admin sets up branding, invites forty people, and ends up with a directory where a third of the cards have no photo and a job title that says nothing. Order the work so that does not happen.
- Settle branding before inviting anyone. The template applies to cards as they are created, so getting the logo and locked fields right first saves you a pass over every card afterwards.
- Invite a handful of people first. Five cards will show you what your template looks like with real names and real titles in it, which is not the same as looking at it with placeholder text.
- Decide what a title looks like. "Sales" and "Regional Sales Lead, North" in the same directory reads as carelessness. Write the convention down and put it in the invitation email.
- Then invite everyone. By this point the directory is worth linking to on the day it fills up rather than a month later.
Why This Beats Individual Cards
A directory gives you brand control (no off-brand or outdated cards floating around), a single shareable link, easy onboarding (a new hire's card appears the moment they're active), and centralized analytics and lead capture across every member. When someone leaves the contact form on any member's card, that lead flows into the admin dashboard's leads list, so the whole company's inbound contacts land in one place.
