You can share status updates with people outside of your company who do not have an UpKeep account, such as vendors or customers. These individuals do not need a username and password to log in.

If you have an external contractor, vendor, or technician working for your company and they also have their own paid UpKeep account, you can invite them to collaborate using UpKeep Sharing.

Note: If you want a vendor to have access to update within your account, you need to add them to your People & Teams section.

NOTE* Sharing is done in 3 ways see below for details.

NOTE2* You must contact our Support team to get this feature activated on your account.


Share a Work Order via Public Link

You can share a Work Order via a URL link that you can email to outside vendors or customers who need to see SOME details about the work orders.

Note: in order to user this Public link, you need to make sure that your Public Request Portal is on (may need to reach out to support for help)
