Contacts and portal access
Add people to a client, invite them, and control who can sign in.
Adding a contact
- 1
Open the client and find the Contacts card
Press Add. Enter their name and email, and optionally a role (see Contact roles and permissions).
- 2
They're invited by email
The invite works for 24 hours, can be reopened on any device, and signs them in with no password.
- 3
They appear on the card
A line under their name shows Never logged in, then Last seen once they've used the portal.
You can also add a contact from CRM → Contacts using Add → Add contact and choosing the client.
The ⋯ menu on a contact
- Edit details: change their name and phone. Their email is their sign-in address, so it can't be edited; to use a different address, add them again and remove the old contact.
- Disable access / Enable access: stop or allow this one person from signing in, without deleting anything.
- Resend invite: for people who haven't signed in yet. Sends a fresh 24-hour link.
- Send sign-in link: for people who've been in before, emails a one-time link to get back in.
- Copy portal link: copies the portal address to share yourself.
- Remove contact: deletes them and their portal access. A client's only owner contact can't be removed; make someone else an owner first.
Turning a whole client off
To switch off portal access for everyone at a company, archive the client. Their data is kept, and restoring turns access back on.
Who can invite whom
- Your team invites contacts from the admin.
- A client's owner contact can invite their own teammates from the portal's Team page. See The client's Team page.
