Customize Client Portal Invite Emails

When you invite contacts to Client Portal, TopLeft invites them with a default email. But you can customize this email to your brand.

To customize the email, do this:

1. Go to the Client Portal settings page. In the main menu click the gear icon, then under Users click Client Portal.
2. Click the Customize Email Invitations button.
3. Complete the options you want to customize. The options are:
   1. Sender name
   2. Sender email: this is used as the Reply-To address on the emails, or as the From address if TopLeft has been configured for this. To use the From header, make a support request.
   3. Subject
   4. HTML body template
   5. Plain text body template
4. Click Save.

To test the emails, in your PSA software set up a contact for yourself in your company record. Invite yourself using the normal method in TopLeft.
