Customer Portal Links

Overview: What are we talking about?

In Gingr, customers can perform a variety of different actions from the customer portal. With customer portal links, you can decide what the most pertinent actions are and set them up so that they appear on the homepage of the customer portal.

Helpful Hints: Before you begin.

• Before you get started, think through what options you want to appear on the customer portal.
  
  
• Explore the customer portal before continuing to see what areas of the customer portal are possible to link to with this feature.

Set it Up: Let's get started.

1. Navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Portal Customization.
   
2. In the Customer Portal Links section, +Add or Edit (pencil icon) a customer portal link and configure the following fields:
   
   
   • URL: Enter the URL of the page that you want to link to. 
     
     
     • Enter the complete URL, beginning with https://, http://, or www.
     • You can link to any webpage within or outside of the customer portal
     • For example, if you would like to add a button to Communication Preferences within the portal, you would enter https://yourbusinessname.portal.gingrapp.com/#/secure/account/communication-preferences

• Label: Enter the text that should be displayed on the button for this link.
  
  
• Open in new tab: If enabled, this link will open in a new tab.
