Client Portal Table of Contents

There are 5 main components of the Client Portal: Dashboard, Order Details, Documents, Contractors, and Contacts. Each of these components contains important information about the inspection.

Let's break each tab down a bit more.

  • Dashboard

    • Here, you'll see the cover photo, the address, and the date of the inspection

    • Add-on upsells will show below the cover photo/inspection information

    • Below the add-ons are the steps for making payment and signing the agreement

  • Order Details

    • This tab will show the full information about the inspection including all services/add-ons, address, inspection date/time, and all people associated with the inspection (clients, agents, inspectors, and additional people)

  • Documents

    • This tab will show the invoice, the agreement, attachments, and the reports once published

  • Contractors

Tips for the Client Portal

  • Utilize our upsell feature

    • With the upsell feature, clients can add additional services in the "Review Your Services" task and "Services" tab of the client portal. Clients will see the name, description, and price of add-on services. They can then select these services and submit add-on requests directly through the client portal.

  • Offer Partnerships

    • Spectora partners with national brands to create opportunities to add more value for your clients. This is a fully optional program but an excellent way to maximize your per-inspection earning potential.

    • When a client accesses their inspection report they can interact with your selected partner offers. If the client submits their information and purchases a service you get paid.


Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why am I seeing a "Limited View" banner in the portal?

    • The limited-view banner will appear when viewing the portal through the Client/Agent view button or through an email sent via the Share Details/Create Email button.

    • This is intentional as the portal has not been accessed via a tokenized link. By accessing the portal via a non-tokenized link, certain client actions like viewing add-on upsells are unavailable. This prevents those actions from being performed by someone other than the client!
