Asking customers to upload documents (Document Requests)
Send customers a secure, expiring upload link listing exactly the documents you need, then approve or reject what they send.
On this page
A document request saves you chasing customers for files on WhatsApp. The customer gets a link, sees the list of documents you asked for, and uploads them from their phone. No sign-in needed.
Create a request
- Open Document Requests and click New Request.
- Choose the customer.
- Tick the documents you need. Add anything else under Other Documents.
- Set Link Expires: the customer can no longer open the upload page after this date.
- Optionally add a Note to Customer, for example "Please upload clear colour scans".
- Click Create Request & Generate Link, then send the Upload Link to the customer.
Track and review
- Open the request to see the upload progress for each document.
- Each document shows Awaiting upload or Uploaded. Review each uploaded file and approve it or click Reject.
- When you reject a file, say why. The customer can upload it again from the same link.
Approved documents are filed in the Document Center under that customer.
Stop a request
Click Revoke Link on the request. The link stops working immediately, even before its expiry date.
