Signing in
How clients reach the portal — magic link or password.
The client portal is the private space your clients use to see their
galleries, pick their favourites, leave retouching notes, and download photos.
Each client reaches it at a link like https://snap-flow.org/portal/your-studio
— your studio's own portal address.
This chapter describes what your clients see. As the photographer you set delivery up from your albums; this is the other side of that hand-off.
Two ways in
When a client opens the portal they enter their email address. What happens next depends on whether they've set a password:
- Magic link (default). If they haven't set a password, SnapFlow emails them a one-tap login link. It's valid for 7 days — clicking it signs them in, no password to remember.
- Password. If they've set one, they type it in and sign straight in.
Setting a password (optional)
After signing in with a magic link, a client can set a password from their portal home page for faster access next time. It's optional — magic links keep working either way.
Only invited clients can sign in
A client only sees the albums shared with their email address. Signing in with an email that hasn't been given access shows an empty portal — there's nothing to leak between clients.
Signing out
The Sign out link is in the portal header. On a shared computer, clients should sign out when they're done; otherwise the session stays active so they can pop back in without re-requesting a link.
