Build the portal with Appaca
Prompt Appaca with "Build a client portal with project status, file sharing, and a support request form." Appaca creates the portal and the internal management views.

Set up client-specific access
Configure Appaca's row-level permissions so each client only sees their own data. This is essential for multi-client portals.

Add a document library
Create a shared files section where your team can upload contracts, reports, and deliverables that clients can download at any time.
- 5
Enable request submission
Add a form for clients to submit new requests, feedback, or support tickets. These feed directly into your internal task management view.

Brand the portal
Customise the logo, colours, and welcome message to match your brand. A polished portal builds client confidence.
