Let customers follow their repair through a private link

Send a private link with the repair's progress, estimate and invoice. Customers can open it on their phone without creating an account, while staff control the updates shared from the ticket.

Do customers need an account to track a repair?

Customers open their ticket's private link in a browser without setting up an account or app. Include the link in intake and status messages, or resend it from the ticket.

Is another customer's repair visible through the link?

Each private link is limited to its own repair ticket. It does not give access to other tickets. Staff choose which photos and attachments are visible; internal ticket notes stay with the team.

How does the status page work for mail-in repairs?

Mail-in tickets on Business can have a timeline with package arrival and return shipping stages. Customers follow progress and review the estimate through their repair link, where they can also pay online when a provider is connected.
