Client Portal and App Market
What’s New?
1. Quick Actions on Dashboard
(Launch Date: 7/1)
We are adding the ability for users to choose actions directly from the dashboard page. This will make a single point to have the main capabilities of Thryv available to drive engagement with one simple click.
Users can customize their dashboard by editing the actions that they want to have displayed by using a simple and intuitive drag and drop functionality. They will be able to control the order of the actions by moving the ones they use the most to the front or remove the ones they do not want.
Once you personalize your actions, those changes will also be visible under the Quick Actions button available on the left navigation for you to use anytime throughout the software.
This new feature is only on desktop version of Thryv, it will not be on your mobile browser or the mobile app.

2. Client Portal Scheduler Enhancement
(Launch Date: 8/17)
We have created a better and improved scheduler for the client portal with a modern and up-to-date look.
The business availability is now calculated, including the original requested/scheduled slot, so clients can reschedule within the time they already booked.
Once the appointment is scheduled and successful, the client will now see a success indication on the booking page.
There is also a new and improved Event invitation flow. Business owners will be able to share event invitations directly or via announcements with their clients. The invite will take them to an event landing page that will allow them to see the event's details.
If you want your times on the scheduler broken out to morning, afternoon and evening, you can customize that in Settings under Online Booking Options. This is the place where you can customize how you want your scheduler to function.
Please read our article about the scheduler with more details here.

We are always enhancing Thryv with new and exciting things. Here is a little taste as to what is coming up.
Packages: This is the ability to group services into bundles to sell to your clients. There will be a new Settings page to create and manage these packages as well as the ability to send and promote them to your client base. Each package may include different types of booking credits that the client will use whenever they want. A new package page in the client portal will display the package details as part of the payment flow to allow clients to purchase packages online. Once a package is purchased, it will be listed under the client card, and they will be awarded a booking credit that they can redeem when scheduling a booking with you.
