TL;DR
- Keep Notion as your source of truth, add a branded client/customer portal.
- Role-based visibility, magic links, and templates speed up launches.
- Supports client portals, CS hubs, onboarding, and renewals.
Good to know
- Works best if your team already runs on Notion databases.
- Use a “client-visible” flag to avoid oversharing sensitive data.
