Secure Access
Houzlook Client Portal
Homeowners can sign in to a premium dashboard to track project status, review the delivery timeline, read designer notes, and view secure image galleries without exposing Zoho CRM directly.
What clients can track inside the portal
Signup is validated against Houzlook ID records in Zoho CRM, then activated through email verification so clients can follow their interiors journey with confidence.
Portal Overview
What happens when a client goes to app.houzlook.com
The dashboard experience is designed for secure onboarding first, then a clean, premium project view for day-to-day tracking.
- Validate the Houzlook ID from Zoho CRM before a client account can be created.
- Send an email verification token or password setup flow before login is activated.
- Show project stage, progress tracker, timeline, designer notes, and secure image galleries after sign-in.

What can clients see after login?
They can review project stage, milestone progress, timeline, latest notes, and categorized project images.
