Portal Link Isn't Working
If your customer's portal link isn't working, here's how to fix it.
Common Link Issues
Link Was Copied Incorrectly
When copying/pasting:
- Make sure entire link was copied
- Check for spaces before or after
- Verify no characters were cut off
Link Was Forwarded
Portal links are secure and unique. If customer:
- Forwarded email to someone else
- Screenshot the link instead of clicking
- Manually typed part of link
It may not work. Resend directly to correct email.
Plan Was Cancelled
If you cancelled the plan:
- Portal link becomes inactive
- Customer sees "Plan not found" message
- Need to create new plan if this was mistake
Link Expired
Portal links don't expire while plan is active, but:
- After plan completion (90 days)
- After plan cancellation (immediate)
- If plan was deleted (immediate)
Testing the Link
- Go to plan in your dashboard
- Click View Customer Portal
- Opens same view your customer sees
If it works for you but not them:
- Likely a browser/device issue on their end
