Client onboarding that runs itself

Give every client a branded portal with a clear list of what to do. Workflows send the emails, open the next stage and keep your team in the loop.

Three steps, then it keeps going without you

Most onboarding stalls because someone has to remember the next thing. Upclient remembers.

  1. 1

    Start from a template

    Stages, tasks, forms and contracts for the way you onboard, with due dates set relative to the project start.

  2. 2

    Invite your client

    They get a branded portal with one clear list: fill this in, upload that, sign here.

  3. 3

    Let workflows run it

    When something happens, the next thing starts. Emails go out, tasks open, your team hears about it.

When a contract is signed, the next stage starts on its own

Pick a trigger, add the actions that should follow, and switch it on. It runs for every client, every time.

When

  • Contract signed
  • Form submitted
  • File uploaded
  • Task status changed
  • Stage completed
  • Task due date

Then

  • Send email
  • Set task status
  • Assign task
  • Grant portal access
  • Notify team member
  • Wait until
All triggers and actions

Clients see one clear list of what to do

No threads to dig through and nothing to install. Each task says what is needed and lets them do it right there.

  • Forms, file uploads, signatures, contracts and embeds as tasks
  • Your logo, colour and header image on your workspace’s portal address
  • Sign-in by emailed link or password
  • Preview exactly what a client sees before you send it
More about the portal

Everything you need from a client, in one portal

Tasks, pages and conversations all live in the project. When a client finishes something, the project moves and a workflow can pick it up.

Do you have brand guidelines?

Your brand, not ours

Clients sign in at your workspace’s address and see your logo, your colour and your header image. Choose a sidebar or top navigation and every project portal follows.

Every project, stage and message in one place

The staff side is built for running many clients at once without losing track of any of them.

  • Project templates

    Turn your best project into the starting point for the next one.

  • Stages and tasks

    Group the work into stages. Each one opens when the one before it is finished.

  • Internal notes

    Talk about a task with your team without the client seeing it.

  • Preview as client

    Open the portal as a specific contact and see exactly what they will see.

  • Contacts and companies

    Keep every client contact and company in one list, linked to their projects.

  • Team roles

    Invite your team as owners, admins or members, and choose who works on each project.

Things people ask first

What does a client need to get started?

An email address. You invite them to a project, they follow the link to your portal and see their tasks. They can sign in with an emailed link or set a password.

What can a workflow do?

A workflow starts from a trigger such as a contract being signed, a form being submitted or a due date approaching, then runs actions in order: send an email, change a task, assign someone, open the portal to a contact, notify your team, or wait. Every run is recorded so you can see what happened.

Can I use my own branding?

Yes. The portal carries your logo, brand colour and header image, on a subdomain named after your workspace, with a sidebar or top navigation layout.

How do contracts work?

Write a contract template once, with fields that fill in from the client and project. Attach it to a task, the client signs in the portal, you countersign, and both sides can download the signed PDF.

Can I reuse my onboarding process?

That is what templates are for. A template holds stages, tasks, forms, files, pages and workflows. Every new project made from it starts complete.

Who is Upclient for?

Service businesses that onboard clients repeatedly: agencies, studios, consultants, accountants and similar teams.
