Client Onboarding
Client Onboarding helps you set up a new client with the right people, properties, and billing details from day one.
What is this?
Client Onboarding is the guided setup flow for creating a client profile and configuring their initial access and billing.
When should I use it?
Use this when a new client signs on, or when you need to migrate an existing client into RentMatrix.
Prerequisites
- Client legal name and primary contact details.
- A list of properties and units to add.
- Billing contact and payment preferences.
note
If any of this information is missing, save the draft and complete it later.
Flow overview
Step-by-step
- Start onboarding from Clients or Organizations.
- Create the client profile and enter primary contacts.
- Add properties, units, and ownership structure.
- Invite client users and assign roles.
- Configure billing and payment preferences.
- Review the setup and complete onboarding.
Examples
- Onboard a new owner with two properties: Add the owner profile, enter both properties and units, then invite the owner's accountant with read-only access.
- Migrate an existing client: Import properties first, then add users and billing to match their current workflow.
Common mistakes / FAQs
- Billing setup is missing. Make sure a billing contact and payment method are saved before completion.
- Invite links expire. Resend the invite from the client's user list if needed.
- Ownership structure is unclear. Add a placeholder note and follow up before final approval.
Tips
- Collect ownership and payment details early to avoid setup delays.
