    A customer facing portal that achieves what? Is it for the prospect to read or to write or both? Not sure what you are looking to accomplish by giving customers a direct connection to your sales pipeline database.

    I'm building one right now, but had to do it in tadabase.io. Pipedrive connects to Tadabase via API, and Tadabase has a customer portal.

    Hi @Benjamin Scott  what sort of data are you looking to show the customer? If its to dow ith reporting & insights and showing a "dashboard" for clients to review - using the public link will work. Clients can only view but not change anything. If Pipedrive's reporting & insights arent the best solution, Plecto does the same. Plecto can also provide custom formulas for reporting on KPIs.

    I don't understand the use case.

    I don't understand the use case. 

    If you have a long sales cycle and/or collect a large amount of documentation during your sales process. Also if your sales process involves multiple parties that all need access to a centralized set of documents. 

    For us, the customer logs in to their portal and can see the status of their transaction(s), lists of outstanding items, upload/download documents, and provide additional information as needed.

    I own a credit bureau. Customers want to order a report on their new client. They need to log into a portal, order from a list of reports we have and then submit. We, in turn, produce the report in seconds or days. We then upload the completed report in their portal for current and future revisions.
