Portal Redirection & Error Handling

1. Overview

This document outlines the Portal’s redirection rules and provides explanations to assist in debugging your implementation.

 

2.SmartLink Auto-Evaluation Matrix

When configuring a SmartLink—a feature designed to automatically log users into the Portal—options are available to configure associated activities and opportunities. Once an activity or opportunity is configured within the SmartLink and subsequently triggered via automation, the relevant activity ID or opportunity ID is integrated into the SmartLink’s URL.

Although this table specifically illustrates activity-based SmartLinks, the principles apply similarly to opportunity-based and combined activity-and-opportunity integrations.

Example: Activity-Based SmartLink

2.1 SmartLink Failure Routing

If a SmartLink fails for any reason, such as expiration, the user will be redirected to the Portal’s Home Page.

Scenario
Trigger
Outcome
SmartLink failure
SmartLink cannot be validated/resolved
Home Page

3. Duplicate Activity

If duplicate activity handling is configured within the forms (under Portal Settings), this section outlines how the system behaves when a duplicate is detected. Essentially, the system attempts to redirect to the flow configured in the Login or Signup form.

Step
Check
If True
If False
1
Any page with login action exists (by hierarchy)
Go to first page with login action
Home Page
2
Login action type = Link Page
Configured Link Page, likely dashboard
Home Page
3
Login action type = Rule-Based
Execute rules
Home Page
4
Any rule outputs “Link Page”
To Configured Link Page, likely dashboard
Home Page

4. Mismatch / Unauthorized — Routing

If a user attempts to access the Portal using a Lead, Activity, or Opportunity ID not associated with their account, they will be logged out and redirected to the Home Page.

Scenario
Trigger
Outcome
Activity–Lead mismatch
Activity does not belong to the referenced Lead
Logout → Home Page
Unauthorized entity usage
Using another user’s Lead/Activity/Opportunity Id
Logout → Home Page
