Troubleshooting Client Portal Invite Emails

Steps to take when a client says they did not receive or cannot use a portal invite email.

Overview

Client portal invites are sent by email. If a client says they did not receive the invite or cannot access the portal, start with the checks below.

Step 1: Confirm the email address

Open the client record and confirm the email address is correct.

Check for:

  • Typos
  • Old email addresses
  • Extra spaces
  • Duplicate client records with different emails

Step 2: Ask the client to check folders

Ask the client to check:

  • Inbox
  • Spam
  • Junk
  • Promotions
  • Updates

If the email is found in spam, ask the client to mark it as not spam.

Step 3: Confirm which login they are using

Clients should use:

Public Account / Client Portal

They should not use Studio Login unless they are staff or an instructor with workspace access.

Step 4: Confirm the portal is linked

If the client can log in but cannot see the portal, the client record may not be linked to their account.

Check that:

  • The client record email matches their login email
  • The portal user/account is linked to the client record
  • The client is not duplicated under another email

Step 5: Resend the invite if needed

If the email address is correct but the client did not receive the invite, resend it.

If the client already has a DanceFlow account, use the existing account linking process instead of creating a duplicate account.

Best practices

  • Use notify@idanceflow.com or another verified sender.
  • Avoid sending many repeated invites in a short time.
  • Tell clients to search for DanceFlow in their inbox.
  • Use one email per client whenever possible.
