Distribution Portal
The Distribution Portal is a feature included in the DistributR Plan. It allows for seamless assessment and report distribution by utilizing three different access levels: the admin zone, the customer zone, and the contact zone.
This guide will teach you:
1. Team descriptions
It is recommended to add documentation in the Distribution Portal to explain how your customers can/should create their campaigns, and contacts, track their results, etc. This option is available in the Distribution menu upon clicking on the Portal settings.
You can add your descriptions to the Distribution Portal to welcome your users or share some information.
The Short Description is shown on the Campaigns page in the Customer Zone. Clicking on that tile will open a separate page containing the Long Description. As the Long Description can contain an HTML layout, we recommend adding images and hyperlinks where needed. Click the Update button when you're done with your changes to save them.
2. Team help guide
Beneath the Team Descriptions, you can configure the content of your own built-in Help Guide page. There's a template available to start from which will be loaded into your organization. We recommend you go through it and update it to your taste. As the platform supports multiple scenarios, it's important to remove or adjust steps that do not fit yours.
The Help Guide can be accessed in the Customer Zone using the Information icon at the top right of the screen.
3. Domain verification
At the bottom of the page, you'll find information on how to verify domains so you can send emails from your email address. For example: you'll need to verify the domain "thisismycompany.com" before you'll be able to send emails from "johndoe@thisismycompany.com".
If you or your customers would like to send out emails from their domain, then you would need to send them the domain verification code, for them to verify their domain. You could also add this information to your built-in help guide, descriptions, or even the custom activation email. for
Note that each domain needs to be verified once, so if you have a lot of customers from the same company, they need to verify their company domain only once.
