Who This Is For / When to Use

  • Account owners granting Client Portal access

  • Admins assisting clients with login issues

  • Support teams resending or regenerating access links


Client Portal URL

Each account has a unique Client Portal URL used for direct access.

From the Client Portal overview page, you can copy the URL and share it manually if needed.


Inviting a Client to the Client Portal

Inviting a client creates portal access tied to their email address.

Steps:

  1. Go to Client Portal.

  2. Open Actions.

  3. Click Invite to Client Portal.

  4. Select an existing contact or enter an email address.

  5. Click Send Invite.

The client receives an email with instructions to access the Client Portal.


Sending a Login Email

If a client already has portal access but needs a new login email, you can send one manually.

Steps:

  1. Open Client Portal.

  2. Go to Actions.

  3. Click Send Login Email.

  4. Select the contact.

  5. Click Send.

This sends a secure login email to the selected contact.


Generating a Magic Link

Magic Links allow instant, passwordless access to the Client Portal.

Steps:

  1. Open Client Portal.

  2. Go to Actions.

  3. Click Generate Magic Link.

A unique login URL is generated for the selected contact.


Copying and Sharing a Magic Link

After generation, you can copy the Magic Link and share it directly.

Magic Links:

  • Are tied to a specific contact

  • Expire after a short time

  • Can be regenerated at any time


Magic Link Expiration and Errors

If a Magic Link is expired or invalid, the client will see an error message when attempting to log in.

In this case, the client must request a new Magic Link or use the standard login option.


When to Use Each Access Method

  • Invite to Client Portal: First-time access for new clients

  • Send Login Email: Client forgot or lost the original login email

  • Magic Link: Immediate, temporary access or troubleshooting


Common Issues and Fixes

Confirm the contact email address is correct and resend the invite or login email.
