Start by defining what information you want to share and who you’re going to share it with. It’s also important to understand what viewing and editing permissions the users are going to have (both from your company and on the client side). Once you map out this information and have it organized in your database, it’s time to start building! If you decide to go with Softr, select the Client Portal template, connect your data, and start mapping the data to each block and customizing the design. We have plenty of resources to help, including this step-by-step guide, this tutorial video, and 24/7 chat support (even on a free plan).
If you’re building a client or customer portal for your business, it should be tailored to your specific needs and workflows. However, here are some common features that are usually included in client portals: - Different user types (client, manager, team member) to have different access levels and actions. You may also want to create different user groups for different clients. - The ability to securely store and download files. - The ability to create projects and tasks and assign to different people. - The ability to view and pay invoices. - The ability to communicate via comments, messages, or chat. This client portal template includes all of the above.
Yes. When you click the Use the template button, you'll be taken to Softr studio and can start working on the template. If you don't have a Softr account, you'll be prompted to register first. A free account will have all the functionality you need to get started, and you won’t be asked for a credit card.
Softr connects with Airtable, Google Sheets, SmartSuite, HubSpot, BigQuery, monday.com, and SQL data sources coming soon. This client portal template can only be used with Airtable or Google Sheets, but if you don't have your data in either of these sources, you can start an app from scratch and connect to another supported data source.
With Softr's advanced permissions, you can easily tailor access for different user groups, giving each client a different user group, for example. This allows you to control what information different types of users can access, and which actions they can take.
