Invite a customer to the homeowner portal

The homeowner portal lets a customer see their service reports, balance, and history. You invite them with a private link - by text one at a time, or to your whole list at once.

Where: Open a customer -> 'Text portal link' (in the editor and in Customer 360) | Manage -> Invite all to portal

  1. Open the customer, or open their Customer 360 view.
  2. Click 'Text portal link' to send that customer their private portal link by SMS.
  3. To invite everyone, open Manage and choose 'Invite all to portal' - anyone invited in the last 30 days is skipped automatically.
  4. If a link ever gets over-shared, open the customer's editor and click 'Reset link' to revoke the old one and issue a new one.
  5. Confirm the customer's phone number is on file first - the invite goes to that number.
Good to know
  • Texting the portal link needs SMS turned on for your account. Until it's enabled, the button will tell you 'texting not active yet' rather than pretend it sent - turn SMS on in Settings once your account is approved.
  • The portal itself is live today; the only gated piece is the outbound text that carries the invite.
  • Resetting a link stops the old one working immediately, so text the customer the fresh link right after.
