Public Profile & Portals

Customize Project Invitation Emails

Create a customized project invite experience for ClientLink™ and TeamLink™ Contacts.

OBJECTIVE

To customize the text for project invitation emails sent to ClientLink™ and TeamLink™ Contacts.

BACKGROUND

ConstructionOnline's Project Portals allow construction companies to invite clients, subcontractors, vendors, and more to individual project teams. With separate Portal designations for ClientLink™ and TeamLink™ Contacts, Company Employees can customize what project information is available via Portal login for clients & subcontractors respectively. Companies can personalize the Portal experience from the very beginning by customizing the text that appears in project invitation emails.

THINGS TO CONSIDER

  • Company Employees can customize the body of the email that is sent to invite ClientLink™ or TeamLink™ Contacts to a project.
    • Without customization, project invitation emails will use default text provided by ConstructionOnline.
  • All Company Employees can view and edit the text of project invitation emails.
  • Project invitation emails are designed for global Company use—only one ClientLink & one TeamLink project invitation email can exist at a time for the Company Account.
    • If a Company Employee edits the text of an invitation, the changes will be applied company-wide.
  • To use custom project invitation emails, ClientLink and/or TeamLink Contacts must be added to a Project that is set to Live. 
  • ClientLink/TeamLink Settings cannot be accessed from the ConstructionOnline Mobile App.
