Client Portal

The Client Portal is a dedicated area where your clients can log in and manage their relationship with your business. Instead of calling or messaging you for updates, clients can check their appointment history, view project progress, approve deliverables, and more — all on their own.

The Client Portal is available on all plans. Advanced portal customization (template editor, branding) is available on Plus and above.


What Is the Client Portal?

Every GoConverso professional gets a client portal at:

goconverso.com/{username}/portal

This is a separate, secure area of your website designed specifically for your clients. It is not the same as your public website — only authenticated clients can access it.

The portal gives clients a centralized dashboard where they can:

  • View upcoming and past appointments
  • Track service orders and their status
  • Monitor project progress and deliverables
  • Approve or request changes on deliverables
  • See their booking and spending history

Portal Login (OTP-Based)

The Client Portal uses passwordless authentication via one-time passwords (OTP). Clients never need to create or remember a password.

Client Visits the Portal

The client navigates to goconverso.com/{username}/portal and enters their email address.

OTP Code Sent

GoConverso sends a 6-digit verification code to the client’s email. The code is valid for 10 minutes.

Client Enters the Code

The client types the code into the portal login screen. If the code matches, they are authenticated and redirected to their portal dashboard.

Session Created

A secure session is created for the client. They remain logged in for the duration of their browser session. Closing the browser or clearing cookies requires a new OTP login.

OTP-based login eliminates the friction of password management. Clients do not need to create an account — if their email exists in your client database, they can log in immediately.

How Client Records Are Linked

The portal matches the email address entered at login against your Client Management database:

  • If the email matches an existing client, the portal loads their data
  • If the email does not match any client, the login is rejected with a friendly message
  • Clients are automatically added to your database when they book an appointment, so most returning clients can access the portal without any setup

What Clients Can Do

View Appointments

Clients see a list of their upcoming and past appointments with your business, including:

  • Service name
  • Date and time
  • Status (pending, confirmed, completed, cancelled, no-show)
  • Staff member assigned (if applicable)

They can see their complete appointment history, sorted by date.

Track Service Orders

If you use the Service Orders app, clients can:

  • View all their open and completed service orders
  • Check the current status of each order (received, in progress, ready, delivered)
  • See estimated completion dates
  • View order details and pricing

Monitor Projects

If you use the Projects app, clients can:

  • View all projects associated with their account
  • See project progress (percentage complete)
  • Review individual deliverables within a project
  • Download files attached to deliverables
  • Approve or request changes on completed deliverables
  • Communicate with you through the project chat

View Digital Products

Clients who have purchased digital products can access them directly from the portal, including download links and access to purchased content.


Portal Customization

Plus+

On Plus plans and above, you can customize the look and feel of the Client Portal using the Portal Template Editor. This is a separate editor from the Website Builder, specifically designed for the portal experience.

The portal is built from modular sections that you can configure:

Branding

Customize the portal to match your brand:

  • Logo — Display your business logo in the portal header
  • Business name — Shown in the header and greeting
  • Color scheme — The portal inherits your website’s theme colors
  • Gradient scheme — Choose from preset gradient options for the header

Portal Login Page Customization

Plus+

You can also customize the login page that clients see before authenticating:

  • Login form style — Choose between different form layouts
  • Background — Set a custom background color or image
  • Welcome text — Customize the greeting and instructions
  • Branding — Display your logo and business name on the login page

The Portal Login Template Editor is separate from both the Website Builder and the Portal Template Editor, giving you full control over the first impression clients have when accessing your portal.


Portal URL Structure

The Client Portal is accessible at a predictable URL:

https://goconverso.com/{username}/portal

If you have a custom domain configured, the portal is also accessible at:

https://yourdomain.com/portal

Setting Up the Client Portal

Ensure You Have Clients

Clients are automatically created when someone books an appointment. You can also add clients manually from Dashboard > Clients.

Enable Portal Features

The portal is enabled by default for all accounts. Clients can visit your portal URL and log in with their email.

Customize the Portal (Plus+)

Go to Dashboard > Website Editor and switch to the Client Portal template type. Use the Portal Template Editor to configure sections, variants, and branding.

Let your clients know about the portal by:

  • Including the portal link in booking confirmation emails
  • Adding it to your website’s header navigation
  • Sharing it on your business card or social media

Security

The Client Portal is designed with security as a priority:

  • OTP authentication — No passwords to steal or leak
  • Email verification — Only verified email owners can access their data
  • Session management — Sessions expire on browser close
  • Row-Level Security (RLS) — Database policies ensure clients can only see their own data
  • Data isolation — Each client can only access appointments, orders, and projects linked to their email

Clients can only access the portal if their email exists in your Client Management database. If a client reports they cannot log in, check that their email address is in your client list.
