Client portal - invoice & estimate notifications for contacts

Client portal - invoice & estimate notifications for contacts

August 17, 2026

Contacts can now receive in-app notifications directly inside the Client Portal whenever a new invoice or estimate is issued to them.

This gives clients immediate visibility into important billing activity, helping them review estimates and take action on invoices faster without relying only on email notifications.

What changed

Notifications for new invoices

  • When a new invoice is issued to a contact, a notification automatically appears inside their Client Portal.
  • Contacts can select the notification to quickly access the invoice and take the required action.

Notifications for new estimates

Contacts are also notified when they receive a new estimate, making it easier to review and respond without having to manually check the Estimates section.

Stay updated inside the client portal

Important billing updates now appear directly in the Client Portal notification center, giving contacts another convenient way to stay on top of new invoices and estimates.

Faster payments & approvals

By surfacing billing activity as soon as it happens, contacts can respond to estimates and invoices sooner - helping businesses reduce delays around approvals and payments.

How it works

As a contact

Log in to the Client Portal.

  • When a new invoice or estimate is issued to you, an in-app notification appears automatically.
  • Open the Notifications panel.
  • Select the relevant notification to navigate to the invoice or estimate.

No setup is required. Notifications are automatically available for contacts using the Client Portal.

Why this matters

Invoices and estimates often require timely action, whether that's making a payment, reviewing pricing, or approving an estimate.

Previously, contacts had no in-portal alert when new billing documents became available. With these notifications, clients can immediately see when something needs their attention, creating a smoother billing experience and helping businesses receive faster responses.

Notes

  • Notifications are triggered when a contact receives a new invoice or estimate.
  • Notifications are delivered to the relevant contact.
  • Currently supported notification channel: In-app Notifications.
