Application Links combines WHMCS Single Sign-On with cPanel & WHM to provide access to 14 of the most commonly used areas of WHMCS from directly within the cPanel user interface.
Application Links allows end users to transition quickly and effortlessly from web hosting control panel to billing and support resources without having to re-authenticate, removing the separation between control panel and billing, making it easier for customers to get help when they need it, and keeping your brand in customers minds.

Common Problems
When enabling Application Links, if the links fail to provision for any accounts you will receiving some warnings. The View Log button can be used to view those warnings. In most cases warnings can safely be ignored. Some examples of the types of warnings you may receive:
- cPanel Account Username not found - indicates a cPanel account in your WHMCS system that is no longer present on the server
- The value of “user” may not be empty - indicates one or more cPanel accounts in your WHMCS system have no username defined for them so the links are unable to be provisioned
