Every homeowner or business you've worked with lives on /portal/customers. Cards show name, lifetime value, contact details, last activity, and notes — sorted newest-first by default with full-text search across name, email, phone, address, and notes.
Adding a customer
- 1Click 'Add customer'
Top of the customers page. Opens a modal — no full-page navigation.

Only Name is required. The rest (phone, email, address, notes) can be added later. Notes are visible to your team but not the customer.
- 3Save
Lands on the list immediately. Click the card to open the detail page.
Auto-creation from quotes
When a customer accepts a quote via the public link, they're automatically promoted to a customer record. You don't have to add them manually.
The customer detail page
Click any customer card to open their full profile. The page is organized top-down:
- Contact bar — name, email, phone, address, plus 'Send portal link' / 'New quote' / 'New invoice' buttons.
- Money summary — lifetime value, jobs done, last activity, upcoming work.
- Equipment installed — water heaters, HVAC, fixtures, etc. with serial numbers + warranty status.
- Quotes / Invoices / Appointments — full timeline for this customer.
- Notes + delete — internal notes (team-visible only) and a hard-delete button.
Searching
The search bar matches across every field — name, email, phone, address line, city, state, postal code, and notes. Type a few characters; results filter as you type. The 'Recently added' / 'Name A-Z' / 'Name Z-A' sort matches the standard sort options across the portal.
Customers who've paid more than $500 lifetime get a copper avatar tone instead of grey — quick way to spot your repeat business.
