Client Portal

A client portal your customers can watch

Client portal software built into your CRM: share a project's progress, files and milestones over a secure, password-protected, expiring link. Read-only, section by section — so the client always knows where things stand without another login.

Part of Projectsthe Deliver stage where a delivery project drives a portal the client can watch.See the full stage

Secure by default

Every portal is a tokenized link you protect with a password and an expiry date — and can rotate or revoke at any time. It never exposes your internal budget or your team's email addresses.

Show exactly what you choose

Toggle each section independently — tasks, files, timeline and billing — so the client sees the progress that matters and nothing you'd rather keep internal.

No extra login for the client

Clients open the link and watch — read-only, no account to create, nothing to install. "Where are we?" becomes a link you send, not a meeting you schedule.

How it works

Every part, explained.

1

Open the share controls

From any delivery project, open the share modal to create a public portal for that project.

2

Lock it down

Set a password and an expiry date so the link only works for the right people, for as long as you want.

3

Choose the sections

Turn on tasks, files, timeline and billing independently — the billing section shows invoiced-to-date only, never your budget.

4

Send the link

Share the secure URL. The client opens a read-only view of the project — no login, no app to install.

5

Rotate or revoke anytime

Regenerate the link, change the password, extend the expiry, or revoke access entirely when the engagement ends.

Deep dive

Everything that's in the box.

Tokenized public link

Each project gets its own secure, unguessable portal URL — no client account required.

Password protection

Gate the portal behind a password so only the people you share it with can open it.

Expiry dates

Set the link to stop working after a date, so old portals don't stay open forever.

Section gating

Show or hide tasks, files, timeline and billing independently — granular control over what the client sees.

Privacy guarantees

The portal never exposes your internal budget or your team's email addresses, even when billing is shown.

Read-only by design

Clients watch progress; they can't edit the project — so the portal can't introduce mistakes into your delivery.

Rotate & revoke

Regenerate the link, reset the password, or revoke access at any time from the share controls.

Graceful states

Password, expired, not-found and network states are all handled, so the client always sees a clear message, never a broken page.
