Inviting clients to the Shaker Portal
The Shaker Client Portal is a way of keeping your client on track to complete their transaction. There are multiple ways to invite a client to their portal.
1. From their contact card under the "Actions" dropdown.
2. When creating a new deal you will be asked in the slide-out menu.
3. From the actions menu within a deal.
The information in the client portal is directly connected to the deal(s) the client is a part of. Editing fields, the assigned team, documents, and the timeline of the deal will take immediate effect in the client portal.
*Note* if you invite a client to a client portal without having created a deal, they will have access to your preferred vendors' list, but they will not show any properties.
