A member portal your members can actually use

Members sign in with a one-time code to update their details, manage subscriptions, search your past messages, and find each other in the member directory. HOA homeowners use the same portal to reply to violations and submit architectural requests.

Start Free Companion app

Included Comes with every Formtabulous account, including the free plan, at no additional cost. For members, not administrators.

No passwords to forget

Members open your organization's public page, enter their email, and type in the 6-digit code they receive. They see their own details, your messages, and only the features you've turned on. The board's dashboard stays separate.

Self-service for every member

The same portal for any organization that communicates with its members.

Message archive

Members search and reread the messages sent to their lists, instead of digging through their inbox or asking for a resend.

Their own details

Members update their contact information themselves. Email changes are verified before they take effect.

Subscriptions

Members choose which of your lists they receive, so opting out of one list doesn't mean leaving the organization.

Member directory (optional)

Offer an online or downloadable directory so members can find each other. You decide whether members can edit their own entry.

Fewer "can you resend that?" emails, and fewer stale addresses on your GroupPost lists, because members keep their own details current.

For HOAs

The homeowner's side of your HOA tools

Homeowners get everything above, plus the HOA workflows your board turns on. They never need the board's dashboard: they act in the portal, and the association keeps the record.

See all HOA tools →

Violations

Homeowners see the violation and message the board about it. Replies are emailed to them and saved with the case.

HOA violation tracking →

Architectural requests

Homeowners submit fence, paint, and addition requests with photos and plans, then receive the board's decision and a PDF decision letter.

HOA architectural review →

Board elections and dues payments don't need the portal: ballots and payment links go straight to each owner by email.

Member Portal and Companion App

Two ways in for the same member, with the same email sign-in and the same organization data. The portal is web self-service and the home of HOA workflows; the companion app is your branded mobile experience.

You choose whether to offer a member directory (online, downloadable, or both), whether members can edit their own directory entry, and whether they can opt out of email from it. HOAs also choose whether violations and architectural review appear in the portal.

The member portal is the web-based self-service area, and it is where HOA workflows like violations and architectural requests happen. The companion app is your branded mobile app, with messages, events and RSVPs, and push notifications. Members use the same email sign-in for both.

RSVPs happen through the invitation link in your event email and in the companion app, not in the web portal. See RSVP Online.
