You can now invite portal users using their mobile phone numbers. These portal users will be able to log in using their mobile number and OTP. Templates for these portal-related SMS can be customized as per your needs.
This enhancement is currently supported for companies registered
in India. You can send portal-related SMS from your registered sender
IDs to customers in India. To send invitations to users, their mobile numbers
should start with +91.
You can set the invitation preference for each portal user type to either email or phone. Previously, email was the only option. This preference can be modified only when the portal user type has no users or portal forms.
Once these templates have been approved by Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) , upload the DLT (distributed ledger technology) file(s) in the CRM and map them to the CRM templates. Please ensure that you've whitelisted the URLs used in your templates. Based on your CRM's DC, you'll need to whitelist one of the following domains:
- in.zcrm.to - IN
- ca.zcrm.to - CA
- us.zcrm.to - US
- eu.zcrm.to - EU
- au.zcrm.to - AU
- cn.zcrm.to - CN
- jp.zcrm.to - JP
Once these templates have been verified, you can invite external stakeholders to the portal using their mobile phone numbers.
Those stakeholders will be able to login by accessing the portal URL, entering their mobile number, and submitting the OTP sent to their phone numbers.
