Frequently asked questions

What is a client portal database?

It is a structured system that centralizes all your customer interactions, tracking companies, projects, tasks, and invoices in one place. Unlike a simple document, it connects these elements logically so you always know the status of every deliverable and payment.
Why use a no-code database to manage client projects?

A no-code database gives you production-ready structure without requiring developer resources or complex technical setups. It provides far more reliability and scalability than messy spreadsheets while remaining completely flexible to your evolving business workflows.
How can AI help managing data for client projects?

You can use an AI co-builder to quickly generate new tracking fields or write complex formulas for your data. By adding Database AI agents, you can also automate administrative tasks like summarizing rough project updates, intelligently organizing feedback, or extracting key action items from text.
Can I build an app with this client portal database?

Yes, you can easily connect this template to a front-end interface to create a fully functional client experience. You can invite your clients to securely log in, view their specific invoices, and approve milestones, while your employees manage the actual deliverables behind the scenes.
Is this Client Portal database free?

Yes, this database template is completely free to copy and use right away. Databases are included in Softr's free plan for you to get started, and higher-tier plans offer increased record limits as your agency or client list grows.
How is a structured database different from a client portal spreadsheet?

Spreadsheets lack rigid structure, making it incredibly difficult to safely link a single client to multiple tasks, invoices, and file attachments without broken formulas. A structured database enforces data types and uses native relationships so information stays accurate, secure, and perfectly organized.
