What are the steps?
Assembly Client Portal Branding and Onboarding Setup (Onboarding)
- 01
Log in to Assembly and navigate to Settings > Branding.
Upload your agency logo, set brand colors, and configure the custom domain (available on Professional and Advanced plans).
- 02
Configure your client portal's custom email domain.
In Settings > Email, add your domain to ensure all client communications come from your agency's address, reinforcing the white-label experience.
- 03
Create an onboarding workflow template.
Go to Workflows > New Workflow, then add steps for intake forms, contract signing, and payment collection. Use the automation builder to trigger these steps sequentially.
- 04
Set up your invoicing templates.
In Invoicing > Templates, create a branded invoice template with your logo and payment terms. Attach it to the onboarding workflow so invoices are generated automatically.
- 05
Build a contract template with eSignature fields.
In Contracts > Templates, draft your engagement letter and add signature fields. Link it to the workflow so clients sign before onboarding proceeds.
- 06
Create a file-sharing folder structure.
In Files > Folders, set up client-specific folders (e.g., 'Deliverables', 'Brand Assets') and assign them to the workflow for automatic creation per client.
- 07
Integrate with Zapier or Make.
In Settings > Integrations, connect your CRM or project management tool. Map the onboarding workflow to trigger external actions, such as creating a project or sending a Slack notification.
- 08
Test the workflow with a friendly client.
Invite a test client, run through the entire onboarding sequence, and verify that branding, emails, invoices, contracts, and file folders all appear correctly.
