How to Connect a CRM Contact with a VDR/Portal End User Contact

Are you having issues seeing VDR/Portal data for your investors within the CRM? If you have already created the end user in your VDR/Portal, the end user may not be linked to the CRM contact record. Best practice calls for you to connect your VDR/Portal users to the CRM by taking the necessary steps below to achieve this:

  1. Go to the contact record in the CRM and click on the ‘VDR/Portal’ tab to view the data in the VDR/Portal widget. You will notice the ‘Last Sign In:’ field will show “Never” meaning the connection has not been established yet. 
  1. Once you confirm that the emails match on the CRM contact record and the end user in your VDR/Portal,  click on the link ‘Invite User to VDR/Portal’ on the CRM contact record. 

  1. You will be taken to a new page in the VDR/Portal where you can link the contact.

  1. Now if you view the contact record back in the CRM, you will see that a last login date is populated and you will notice that you can view the end user’s VDR/Portal activities and document statuses right from this VDR/Portal widget.
