Registration & Your Industry Profile

What happens when you sign up, and what that one dropdown actually controls.

Signing up

Registration takes four short steps: your account details, a 6-digit email verification code, choosing a plan, and an optional setup step you can skip. Your workspace is created the moment your email is verified.

What "Industry Profile" actually does

During signup you'll choose what best describes your business — Weddings & Celebrations, Corporate Events, Production, Church, Conference, Entertainment, Exhibition, Other, or Full-Service if you work across multiple types.

This does exactly two things, both helpful, neither permanent:

  • Starter defaults — your workspace is pre-populated with sensible starting Event Types, Vendor Categories, Task Categories, and Staff Roles suited to that kind of work.
  • Template filtering — Moodboard and Checklist templates matching your profile show first, instead of all 8 categories mixed together.
Nothing is locked in. Every pre-filled category can be renamed, deleted, or added to immediately — it never changes your dashboard's layout or which features you can access.
Still not sure which profile fits?
You can change it later from Settings — nothing about this choice is permanent.

Events

The core object everything else in Koordli attaches to.

Every event has a status, a date, a venue, an assigned team, and its own dedicated pages for Guests, Budget, Vendors, Tasks, Checklist, Moodboards, and Runsheet. Assign staff to an event's team to control who sees it in their dashboard and notifications.

Clients & Vendors

Client Portal

What your clients can see, and how you control it.

Each client gets a secure login to a simplified portal — their event overview, messages with you, checklist progress, shared moodboards, and their budget — only what you explicitly choose to share.

Financial Visibility

Under Client Financial Visibility in your settings, four toggles control exactly what a client can see:

FieldDefaultShows
Their BalanceOnAgreed budget, amount paid, outstanding
Cost BreakdownOffSpending by category, paid vs. outstanding
Vendor Payment DetailOffWhich vendors are paid, and how much
Your Professional FeeOffYour fee amount and structure
Sensitive fields default OFF. A client only ever sees more once you deliberately turn it on.
Clients & Vendors

Vendors, Contracts & Invoices

Your directory, agreements, and the money that flows through them.

Build a private directory of vendors, assign them to events, generate branded contracts with e-signatures, and track invoices with multiple payments each. A vendor invoice automatically keeps your event's Budget in sync — nothing needs entering twice.

Vendors and clients can also get their own portal logins — vendors to update runsheet status and manage availability, clients to track their event and payment progress.

Money

Budget & Your Professional Fee

Built to work whether you charge a flat fee, a percentage, or something else entirely.

Whose money is this?

Every cost item can be tagged with who's actually responsible for it:

  • From Client's Budget (default) — you're spending money the client already gave you to hold. A real cost, never counted as your own loss.
  • Client Pays Directly — the client pays that vendor themselves; you never touch this money.
  • Your Own Money — the rare case where you're genuinely fronting your own cash.

Setting your fee

Your professional fee is completely separate from the client's event budget. Pick a structure for your own records (Fixed, Percentage of Budget, Per Guest, Per Day, Package, or Custom), then confirm one real number.

Percentages are a one-time calculator, not a live formula. Picking "15% of Budget" shows the resulting amount once — it never silently recalculates your fee if the budget changes later.

On top, or out of the budget?

  • Added on top — the client pays the agreed budget, plus your fee separately.
  • Taken out of the budget — your fee is included in what the client already pays; the amount left for real event costs shrinks accordingly.

Tag a payment "Your Professional Fee" when recording it to count it toward your fee specifically. Once fully collected, you'll get an automatic email.

Money

Billing & Plans

Your own Koordli subscription — separate from your clients' event budgets.

Manage your plan, payment method, and upgrade options under Billing. Some features (custom subdomain, custom domain, white-label branding) are plan-gated and show an upgrade prompt if your current plan doesn't include them.

Planning Tools

Tasks & Checklists

Two related but distinct tools — delegated work vs. planning milestones.

Tasks are assignable, tracked by status/priority/due date. Checklists are time-based milestones ("12+ months before," "1 week before") specific to your event type — apply a pre-built template, or build your own.

Any checklist item can be converted into a real Task with one click — even select several items at once and convert them together.

Planning Tools

Moodboards

Visual creative direction, shareable with your client.

Build a free-form visual board — images, colors, notes, links — and optionally share it with your client for approval. Apply a starter template matched to your event type to begin with a sensible layout rather than a blank canvas.

Warm, romantic, gold accents throughout.

Planning Tools

Guests & RSVP

Branded RSVP pages and QR check-in, replacing manual counting.

Build a custom RSVP page per event, with your own cover image and questions beyond just attendance. Confirmed guests receive a scannable QR ticket by email, checked in at the door in seconds.

Runsheet

Your event-day timeline, live.

Build a timeline of the day's activities, assigned to staff or vendors. Vendors can update their own item's status from their phone on-site — no more printed schedules that go stale the moment something shifts.

Forms & Integration

Forms, Bookings & the Submit API

Capture leads from anywhere — your own website included.

Two form types

Build Booking forms (a simple enquiry form) or Consultation forms (with a real calendar of available time slots), with your own custom fields.

Getting submissions into your dashboard

01
Share the direct link
Every form gets a public URL you can post anywhere — social media, email, WhatsApp.
02
Or embed it on your own website
Paste the iframe code anywhere on your site to show the full form in place.
HTML
<iframe src="https://yourapp.com/consult/your-form-slug" width="100%" height="800" frameborder="0"></iframe>
03
Or point your own form at our Submit endpoint
Already have an HTML form on an existing site? Send submissions straight to your Koordli dashboard — works like Formspree.
Endpoint
POST https://yourapp.com/api/forms/{your-form-token}/submit

Every input's name should match a field label configured on that form:

HTML
<form action="https://yourapp.com/api/forms/{your-form-token}/submit" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="your-csrf-token"> <input type="text" name="Full Name" required> <input type="email" name="Email" required> <button type="submit">Submit</button> </form>
Need your exact endpoint URL?
It's shown on each form's own page in your dashboard, with one-click copy already built in.

Domain Setup

Your workspace address — from a free subdomain to your own custom domain.

Subdomain

Every workspace gets a subdomain that works instantly, with no DNS setup required.

Custom Domain

To use your own domain (e.g. app.yourcompany.com), add it under Domain Settings, then create two DNS records at your registrar:

01
CNAME Record
Points your domain at Koordli's servers.
02
TXT Record (_koordli-verify)
Proves you own the domain.
03
Click Verify Now
Both exact record values appear on your Domain Settings page the moment you add a domain. Verification also re-checks automatically every day.
DNS changes can take a few minutes to 48 hours to fully take effect. If verification fails right after adding records, wait a while and try again.

Custom domains and subdomains are plan-gated features — Domain Settings shows an upgrade prompt if your plan doesn't include them yet.

Forms & Integration

Quick Access Links

A permanent link for staff or vendors who don't need a full login.

Generate a unique, no-login link for a staff member or vendor to update a task, mark a runsheet item, or complete a checklist item — right from their phone. Optionally protect it with a self-set PIN. Regenerating a link instantly invalidates the old one.

Roles & Permissions

Control exactly what each staff member can see and do.

Create custom roles and toggle individual permissions per role — view-only vs. full management access, per feature area. The account owner role always has full access and can't be edited or deleted.

Notifications

Who gets emailed, and when.

Staff notification preferences control what you get emailed about. Client Notification Settings (separate, tenant-wide) control what your clients get emailed about — payments recorded, milestones reached, and more — each with its own on/off toggle.

Every toggle here controls a real email trigger — nothing is bundled.
