There are two methods to grant client access to the Client Portal for your Video sessions:
- Therapist Provides Credentials
- Client Directed Signup
Therapist Provides Credentials
This method has the therapist configuring access for the client:
- Head to the Client Record > Contact & Clinical > Account Details > Edit.
- Under Client Portal Settings, enter the client's email address.
- Set a starter password for the client.
- Click the green Save button.
- The email address you just entered and their password.
- Your Client Portal URL (found in Settings > Client Portal).
- Instructions that they can update their password once logged in under the My Account tab, or by using the “Forgot Your Password?” button on the main log in screen.
Client Directed Signup
If you want to allow anyone to create their own account, they can do so by visiting your Client Portal URL through your website. To allow this option, please ensure you have set "Allow clients to create account" to "Yes" in your Settings > Client Portal tab.
In order to complete their set up, they must:
- Create an account
- Verify their email address
Once your client has created an account, you will need to associate them (instructions below) to tie them to your Owl client list. The “associate” step is what adds the Client Portal account in as an Owl client.
Add the Client to your Owl Client List
When a client creates an account through Client Portal, you must add them in as an Owl client.
To add a client from Client Portal to your Owl client list:
- Start in All Clients > Prospects (Note: only Owners and Admins can access this tab).
- Click the checkbox next to the client you are adding, opening the green edit bar.
- There are two options to add the client:
- Create Client: For new clients, this opens the Add Client window. Several fields will auto-fill from the information entered by the client.
- Associate: If the client already exists in your Owl client list, the associate options lets you link the Client Portal account to an Owl client. Search the client name and select Associate.
If a client is unable to verify their email address, they can resend the verification from the Account page on the portal. Otherwise, if you would prefer, you can click Verify from the All Client List to skip that step.
