Show HN: Portal – Client portal for messaging, payments, file-sharing, etc.

Hi HN! I'm one of the founders of Portal. We're excited (and nervous) to see what HN thinks about a product we've been working on for about a year. Portal lets you setup a client portal, so that your clients can login on your own website and have a unified place to send messages, share files, make payments, and more.

Before starting Portal we ran an agency. We couldn't find a great solution that streamlines the experience for our clients so we decided to build our own customer portal. After launching, the idea immediately resonated with other agencies so we quickly rebuilt the product so that anyone could quickly set up their own portal. The idea of providing your clients a streamlined portal struck a nerve outside of agencies as well; so we now serve many really interesting companies - chemistry labs, insurance startups, bookkeeping businesses, etc.

Each portal comes with support for messaging, file-sharing, eSignatures, payments, and forms. Most features we built from scratch so that we could prioritize UX and do things like (1) unify notifications, (2) be fully white label, and (3) make it easier to setup automations across features. You can also embed products you already use. For example, many connect Airtable charts to share project progress with clients and others connect Google Data Studio dashboards so that clients have real-time access to analytics. Every portal is customizable so you can set your theme, design your login screen, upload your logos, and connect a custom domain. After you setup a portal, people usually add a "Client portal" button on their marketing website navbar, so that existing clients have a clear sign in path.
