Can you help with implementation or is it entirely our responsibility?

We want to ensure the success of your web portal, both for the initial implementation and ongoing support. While implementation is your responsibility, The Portal Connector provides documentation to assist with this process. Customers also have access to our Customer Success Manager who is here to help ensure a successful implementation and provide assistance if you hit any snags along the way. For customers requiring full resources to handle the entire implementation, this is a service we can offer. Contact Us to discuss in further detail.

How do I download an update for The Portal Connector?

Upgrading to the latest version of The Portal Connector involves the following steps:

What happens to my portal if I upgrade my CRM / 365 instance?

Because The Portal Connector engine is outside of CRM / 365, upgrading your CRM / 365 does not impact your web portal at all. Once the upgrade is complete, you simply need to connect The Portal Connector to the new CRM / 365 instance – no downtime or disruption to your web portal, and no complicated development involved.
