How to Configure Client Reminders
Client Reminders let your firm send automated email reminders to clients who haven’t logged in to the Client Portal or who have incomplete steps. Reminders are configured per matter, giving you control over which reminders are active for each client.
Both reminder types are turned on by default when a new matter is created.
- Reminders are sent bi-weekly (every two weeks) for a maximum of:
- 5 Login reminder emails
- and 5 Incomplete steps reminder emails.
If the client takes action — logging in or completing their steps — the reminders stop automatically.

💡 Good to Know
- Reminders are configured per matter, so you can customise settings for each client individually.
- Reminders are conditional — they only send if the client hasn’t logged in or has incomplete steps. Once the condition is met, reminders stop automatically.
- Reminders are sent via email only.
