Link sharing for client invites and invoices

Sometimes a client just won’t check their email to accept their portal invite or pay an invoice.

Slack community

We are grateful that so many of you have shared feedback with us - what module to build next, how to make existing modules better, etc.. This morning, we created a Slack group for everyone that wants a more direct line of communication with our team and connect with other tech-forward professionals. We're starting really small - with just 15 invitations going out this week - but we'll increase the size of the group over time.

eSignatures

Since the beginning, our vision for Portal has been to give your clients one unified place from where they can do business with you. After many months of development, we’re taking a big step in that direction by introducing a secure eSignature solution that is beautifully integrated with the rest of your portal. We recorded a quick video to show you how it works.

Module Management

We’re currently in the midst of the no code movement which is making it easier and easier to customize the tools you use to run your business. With this release, you can now enable and disable modules yourself. As we move forward with eSignatures and dozens of more modules over the next few years, this is an important first step in giving you complete control over how your software looks and feels to your team and clients.

Onboarding Tips card

If you have a portal but are not yet fully setup, we now show you an onboarding tips card with links that bring you directly to the relevant pages. If you dismiss it, it will permanently be removed for you and your team.
