Fewer "where are we on this" calls
People outside the team can look at the task themselves instead of phoning to ask.
Show a client one task with a shareable task link
Turn on a link for one task and send it to the client or supplier who needs it. They check the task's checklist and status without phoning you, and only people who have the link can open it.
A shareable task link in CIPHER CRM is a web address that opens one task without signing in. You turn it on from the task and send it to a client or supplier, who sees its checklist and status. Only that task shows, and only to people with the link.
In one click you can turn the link off, remove it or swap it for a new one, so you decide how long sharing lasts. 192+ businesses run CIPHER CRM across 31 industries, with 92 built-in features, a 4.8/5 average rating and 99.9% uptime. Most teams are live in 1-3 days.
What you can do with shareable task links
Send a client or supplier a link to one task that opens with no sign-in, and turn the link off any time.
- User permission overrides
One link, one task
Each task has its own independent link, so the person you send it to sees that task and nothing else in your workspace.
- CRM account security
No login for the person you share with
The link opens without an account or password, so a supplier or site contact can see the task straight away.
- CRM checklists
Show the checklist and status
Use the link to share where a job stands, such as how far its checklist has got, without sending screenshots that go stale.
- Project management CRM
Switch it on and off
Turn a task's link on when you need to share it, and off again when the person no longer needs it.
- Task management CRM
Regenerate or remove in one click
If a link has gone further than you meant, regenerate it to get a new address and the old one stops working, or remove it altogether.
- Credit note software
Credit notes
Record money you owe a customer after a return or overcharge, then take it off a bill or refund it.
- Sales document management
Documents in one place
Keep every proposal, estimate, invoice, payment and expense in one place, and choose who can open each kind.
- Quote builder software
Quote builder
Add each item to a quote or bill from your product list or by hand, with its own price, discount and taxes.
- Invoice discount
Discount options
Give a discount before tax, after tax or on one item, the same way on quotes and invoices.
Why it's worth it
What shareable task links change for your business
No extra logins to manage
You do not create accounts for people who only need to see one job.
Sharing you can undo
A link can be switched off or replaced the moment it is no longer needed.
The rest of the CRM stays private
Only the shared task is visible, so customers, bills and other tasks stay inside your workspace.

Potato traders pay storage rent bit by bit as they lift their bags. The Overdue flag tells me which trader to call before his last bags go out.

When a dealer sends back a faulty e-rickshaw battery, its value goes on a credit note in his name. He can adjust it against his next invoice.

Each reefer load for the prawn processing plants needs the set temperature, vehicle number and seal number noted. We put a field for each of those on the load record, so when a plant rings, the office reads the details off the screen instead of phoning the driver.

What is a shareable task link?
It is a public web address for one task in CIPHER CRM that opens without signing in. You switch it on from the task and send it to anyone who needs to see that job, such as its checklist or status. It shows that task only, not the rest of your workspace.
Does the person I share with need an account?
No. The link is loginless, so the person opens it in their browser and sees the task straight away. There is no sign-up, no password and nothing to install, which makes it easy to use with subcontractors, suppliers and client contacts.
Can I stop a link from working?
Yes. You can switch the link off, remove it, or regenerate it with one click. Regenerating gives the task a brand new address, so anyone holding the old link can no longer open it. You decide how long sharing lasts.
Will sharing one task expose my other tasks?
No. Every shareable link is independent and tied to a single task. The person you send it to sees that task and cannot move from it into your customers, projects, invoices or other tasks in CIPHER CRM. 192+ businesses run CIPHER CRM across 31 industries, with a 4.8/5 average rating.
When would I use a task link instead of the customer portal?
Use the portal for customers you work with often, who sign in to see projects, documents and messages. Use a task link for a quick share with someone who only needs to see one job, such as a supplier or a subcontractor on a site visit.
Can I share more than one task with the same person?
Yes. Switch on the link for each task you want to share and send them each address. Every link is separate, so you can switch one off when that job is done while the others keep working for as long as you need them.
