How It Works

How Guidez powers Client Portal Onboarding in Legal Technology SaaS

1

Welcome clients on first portal login

A welcome tour greets clients on first login — explaining what the portal is for, what documents they'll find, and how to communicate with their legal team.

2

Guide through document access

Document access tours show clients how to find, view, download, and sign documents — with explanations of document status (draft, pending signature, executed).

3

Walk through secure communication

Secure message tours introduce the client-attorney communication channel — explaining why portal messaging is more secure than email and how message threads are organized.

4

Drive ongoing portal habits

Targeted reminders prompt clients to review pending documents, respond to attorney messages, and access billing statements — maintaining active portal engagement throughout the matter.

FAQ

Client Portal Onboarding in Legal Technology SaaS: Frequently asked questions
