  • Hona (Business) Org = Hona Org managed by the Business

  • Business User = An individual account within a Hona Business Org

    • Just like there are many employees at 1 Business, there are many Users in 1 Hona Org.

  • Client = General term for the end-user of the Hona Portal. Also used to differentiate between an active Client of the Business and a...

  • Lead = potential Client of the Business. This term is specifically used when necessary to separate end-users if utilizing Hona for both Clients and Leads. You can safely assume that features which are usable for Clients can also be utilized for Leads, unless stated otherwise.

  • Hona Portal = Digital interface where Clients interact with Hona features configured by Business

Good to know Hona terms:

  • "Project" is the Hona term used to define "case" or "matter"

  • Messages = Back and forth text messages between Business and Lead/Client, delivered through Hona's 2-Way Messaging feature

  • Client Notifications = Alerts sent to Clients to notify them of Hona features configured by Business.

  • Business Notifications = Alerts sent to Business Users to notify them of Clients engaging with the Hona features configured by the Business. Each Business User has their own Notification Settings.
