Your clients can access your Client Portal through a magic link sent to their email. There are no user names or passwords.
There are 2 ways to add clients to your Client Portal:
- From the Clients menu one by one or in bulk. Select the clients you want to add to the Client Portal and click Client portal. You can choose whether your clients get an invitation to the Client Portal as an email. This way, when your client enters the portal for the first time, they’ll see a welcome video and get an introductory sample task.
- If you don’t select the Client Portal invitation, they’ll receive an email when their accountant assigns them a task.
The Client Portal can also be opened for the clients in their profile if you specify “Client Portal open”. In this case, the Client Portal opens silently, i.e. your client will not receive an invitation or a letter, and no sample task will appear on their dashboard.
