The Customer Center serves as a centralized hub, offering users streamlined access to all content and services provided by a workspace. In this article, you will explore the key features of the Customer Center from the user’s perspective, gaining insights on how to effectively navigate and interact with its various components.
Accessing the Customer Center
Users can access the Customer Center in several ways, depending on the links provided:
Customer Center Link: This link directs the user to the most relevant section of the Customer Center, with priority given to the Community tab if available, followed by Courses.
Course Link: Specific links to courses that the user has enrolled in will take them directly to the course content.
Community Link: Link to the community will take users directly to the Community page.
Affiliate Dashboard Link: If users are part of the affiliate program, affiliate dashboard link will take them directly to the Affiliate dashboard.
The Customer Center adapts dynamically, guiding users to the most appropriate section based on the access they have. When sharing the main Customer Center link, users are taken to the highest priority content available, starting with the Community tab (if they have access), or the Courses tab if Community access is unavailable.
Example 1 - John Accessing Course Content:
John purchased a course from you and received a welcome email with a link to access it. Let’s assume John also has access to the community in your workspace. When John clicks on the course link, he logs into the Customer Center using Single Sign-On or his username and password. After logging in, John will see the course content directly. Additionally, since John also has access to the community in your workspace, the “Community” tab will also be visible, allowing him to navigate and participate in the community.
Example 2 - Peter Accessing the Affiliate Dashboard:
Peter, another user on your workspace, has access to one of your courses and is also interested in promoting your products as an affiliate. After signing up for your workspace affiliate program, the system sends him an email with a link to access the affiliate dashboard. When Peter clicks the link, he logs into the Customer Center and is taken directly to the affiliate area. Since Peter also has access to a course, the courses tab is visible for him. On the other hand, Peter does not have access to the workspace community, so the “Community” tab remains hidden in customer center.
User Login Options in the Customer Center
Regardless of whether users are accessing a course, joining a community, or managing billing information, they are directed to a single, unified login page within the Customer Center. No matter which specific link they follow, they are presented with a consistent login experience where ClickFunnels offers multiple secure login methods to suit their preferences.
This is How the Login Process Works:
Email Login with Magic Link and Authentication Token: Upon reaching the login page, users choose between entering their email or selecting the password login option. If they opt to enter their email, the system sends an authentication email with both a Magic Link and a 4-digit Authentication Token. These login enhancements provide robust security by allowing temporary access without requiring a password.

Magic Link: By clicking the magic link, users are logged in automatically directing users to their intended destination, whether that’s a course, community, or billing page. This link remains valid for 10 minutes, allowing quick access to their Customer Center content.
4-digit Authentication Token: Users also receive a 4-digit token in the email and in phone associated with the contact profile, which they can manually enter in the token input field on the login page. This token is valid for 4 minutes, providing an alternative login method if they prefer not to use the link.
Password Login Option: Users who prefer a traditional login experience can select "Sign in with password" on the login page. They’ll then enter their email address and password to access the Customer Center, offering a familiar and straightforward login method for those who prefer it.
