How to Build a Custom Client Portal in Notion Without Losing Control of Your Data

Introduction

Building a client portal in Notion can be a powerful way to share updates, project timelines, or support tickets. But without the right controls, you risk exposing sensitive data or spending too much time on manual updates. Here’s how to create a secure, efficient client portal using Bridge for Notion.


Why Notion Alone Isn’t Enough

While Notion is great for internal documentation and task tracking, its built-in permissions and sharing options aren’t designed for external users.

  • Overexposure risk: Clients may see internal notes or unrelated data.
  • Lack of customization: Notion doesn’t let you fully tailor what external users see.
  • Manual maintenance: Keeping shared data updated can be tedious.

Essential Features of a Custom Client Portal

  1. Tailored views: Share only relevant data, like task lists or progress updates.
  2. Embedded forms: Let clients submit tickets or requests directly.
  3. Granular access control: Ensure sensitive data stays hidden.
