Client Portal

Enhanced Client Portal Dashboard

Our newly updated client portal dashboard offers a detailed summary of user activities, including invitation statuses and new member sign-ups. It also provides the ability to perform specific tasks that optimize user access and participation. Comparison of Invited and Joined Users The distinction between invited and joined users is crucial: invited users refer to those who have received an invitation via the "Invite" action in the portal. In contrast, joined users are the ones who have successfully registered and accessed the portal. Using Magic Links for Seamless Access Magic links allow your contacts to enter the client portal without needing to log in manually. These links, perfect for sharing via email or messages, grant instant access to the portal. Note: Magic links are created individually for each contact. You can automate this within your email workflows by using custom values that populate the necessary information for generating the link. Inviting New Users to the Portal To invite someone to the client portal, select the "Invite" function. You can invite existing contacts or input new email addresses directly. These invitations are sent using your default domain, ensuring a seamless process for the recipient. Simplified Login Emails The "Login Email" feature automates the process of sending login credentials to your contacts. An embedded login button in the email makes it easy for clients to access the portal without manually entering a password.

Client Portal Configuration Process

Step 1: Access the Domain Setup in the Client Portal  Begin by navigating through the left-hand sidebar to the "Sites" tab, then select "Client Portal" and proceed to the "Domain Setup" section. Step 2: Set Your Custom Domain  Select the option to configure a custom domain and enter the domain name you want. Important Reminder: Before proceeding with A or CNAME record setup, ensure your domain registrar is pointing to the correct IP or server address. This step is critical for ensuring your domain connects properly. An A Record ties your domain to a specific server IP, while a CNAME Record directs your domain to another domain name. Adding DNS Records for Domain Configuration 1. Log in to your domain registrar and open the DNS settings. 2. Add a new record based on your requirement: For an A Record, use the IP: 162.159.140.166. For a CNAME Record, use clientportal.ludicrous.cloud as the target. 3. Save your settings. Procedures might differ slightly across registrars such as GoDaddy, NameCheap, Bluehost, HostGator, etc. Tip: Be sure to replace placeholders like "designated IP address" with your actual IP or server information. After configuring DNS records, allow up to 24-48 hours for full DNS propagation, depending on your ISP and TTL settings. Personalizing Your Client Portal Branding Once the domain setup is finalized, you can move on to customizing your Client Portal's branding. This will allow users to access your portal through a personalized URL. If you opt out of a custom domain, a default URL with your location ID as a prefix will be generated by clicking "Setup Domain." Customizing Portal Branding Options Step 1: Access the Branding Section  To start customizing, go to the "Client Portal" settings and click on "Branding." Step 2: Personalize the Portal's Visuals Portal Title: Enter the name you want to display on your portal.

Step 3: Save Your Customizations  Once you’ve completed your changes, click "Save Settings" to apply them. If needed, use "Cancel" to discard any changes. Managing Application Permissions in the Client Portal You can control which apps are available in your portal by configuring permissions. To do this, head to "App Permissions" in the settings. Enable or Disable Applications: Check or uncheck the boxes next to each app to control visibility for users. Set the Default Landing Page: Select a default page from the dropdown menu that users will see first when they log in.
