Aspire has given companies the ability to brand the customer portal using their company logo and choice of a color scheme. The URL that customers use to access the customer portal is specific to each field service company. Before customers can gain access to the *Customer Portal*, the system administrator must enable it and send the customer an email invitation. ## Setting up the Customer Portal The *Customer Portal* is enabled and configured from the [*Customer Portal* tab](/application-configuration-screen#customer-portal-tab) of the *Application Configuration* screen in Aspire. ## Inviting Customers to the Portal Aspire users can invite customers to sign up for the *Customer Portal*. Users can initiate the emailing of these invitations from the *Contacts Search List* screen by selecting the *Send Customer Portal Invite* option in the *Bulk Actions* menu. Only users who have the *Send Customer Portal Invitation* permission will have this menu option available and if the Enable Customer Portal option is checked. Emails will be sent from the user who is sending the invite from Aspire. When the user selects the *Send Customer Portal Invitation* option, Aspire displays the *Bulk* *Email Customer Portal Invitation* screen. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/5942a8d7-f3b1-4919-bdfa-d477d8498fe3/Images/Documentation/Bulk%20Email.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T07%3A29%3A57Z&se=2026-10-27T08%3A29%3A57Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=iNi8Gga6ZBa6sUHZl4aRMsntMgiDanCeecYuOQIMJeg%3D) The screen elements on the *Bulk* *Email Client Portal Invitation* screen are described in the following table. | Screen Element | Description | | --- | --- | | To | The multi-select field initially displaying the users who were selected for creating invitations.
