Secure Links
Understanding passwordless client access with Secure Links.
Secure Links
Secure Links provide secure, passwordless access for your clients to complete Document Requests.
What Are Secure Links?
A Secure Link is a unique, secure URL sent to your client via email. When clicked, it:
- Authenticates the client automatically
- Takes them directly to their Document Request
- Requires no password or account creation
Security Features
Unique per Client
Each Secure Link is:
- Generated uniquely for each client and Document Request
- Tied to the client's email address
- Cannot be used by anyone else
Time-Limited
Secure Links expire after a configurable period (default: 7 days) for security.
One-Time or Reusable
Depending on your settings, Secure Links can be:
- One-time - Expires after first use
- Reusable - Can be used multiple times until expiry
Sending Secure Links
Secure Links are automatically sent when you:
- Create and send a new Document Request
- Send a reminder for a pending Document Request
- Manually resend access to a client
Regenerating Secure Links
If a client's link expires or is compromised:
- Open the Document Request
- Click Resend Link
- A new Secure Link is generated and sent
The old link is immediately invalidated.
Best Practices
- Advise clients to look for your organization name in the email
- Remind clients not to share their links
- Enable reminders for pending Document Requests
- Use shorter expiry times for sensitive documents
