Using the Client Request Feature

Enable two-way communication with your clients directly within Deal Details, so they can request new scenarios, ask questions, and move forward faster.

Updated over a week ago

Overview

The Client Request feature lets your clients send you requests directly from their interactive scenario page. Instead of playing phone tag or waiting for email replies, clients can instantly ask for a new property analysis, request changes to a scenario, or get a pre-approval letter. You receive notifications via text and email the moment they submit a request, keeping the conversation moving without extra steps.


Before You Start

Requirement

Details

Active deal with scenarios

At least one scenario must be created and shared with your client

Client link sent

Your client needs access to their interactive scenario page

How Your Client Submits a Request

When clients open their scenario link, they'll see a Make Request button after acknowledging the required disclaimer. This button gives them five request options.

Request Types Available to Clients

Request Type

What the Client Can Do

Request New Property

Pre-Approval Letter

General Question

⚠️ Important: Clients can only submit requests after they've reviewed the required disclaimer on the right side of their scenario page. This ensures compliance before any communication begins.
