Access and visibility depend on workspace settings.

The customer portal is a separate experience for your business’s customers. What it shows depends on workspace configuration, the customer’s identity, linked records and the visibility policy.

Prepare customer access

  1. Check that the portal is enabled and review its visibility settings.
  2. Confirm the customer is linked to the intended records.
  3. Use the access or invitation flow available in your workspace.
  4. Tell the customer which email and sign-in method to use.
  5. Review the customer-facing result before sharing it broadly.

Do not use a staff account as proof of what a customer can see. A staff role and a portal identity have different access.

Review available information

Depending on configuration, the portal includes work orders, documents, payments, messages and a calendar. A customer may be able to respond to an order decision or view a document only when the relevant record and policy allow it.

Bookings and reminders

Where enabled, customers can create bookings, review details, change a slot, cancel under the service’s policy and manage booking reminders. The portal also provides a flow to link previous bookings to a verified customer identity.

Follow manage customer bookings for the customer’s steps and recovery options.

If information is missing

Check the signed-in customer, record association and portal visibility. Review business branding separately in workspace appearance. Ask the administrator to inspect the relevant settings before sending a different person’s link.
