HaloPSA Integration Playbook for Channel Vendors

HaloPSA is one of the fastest-growing modern PSAs in the MSP market. Built on a flexible, API-first architecture, HaloPSA appeals to both agile startups and established MSPs seeking modern workflows. For channel vendors, this makes HaloPSA an attractive platform to integrate with early and deeply.

This playbook gives you a roadmap to building, launching, and scaling a HaloPSA integration that creates value for MSP partners and accelerates your channel program.

Why HaloPSA Matters

• Modern Architecture: REST-first, API-driven, with rapid development cycles.

• Growing Community: A rising user base of MSPs seeking alternatives to legacy PSAs.

• Flexibility: Supports extensive customization of fields, workflows, and reporting.

• Adoption Potential: Partners view HaloPSA as innovative and expect equally modern integrations from vendors.

Core HaloPSA Integration Patterns

1. Ticket Workflows

HaloPSA API Considerations

• Authentication: OAuth 2.0 supported.

• Custom Fields: Heavy customization potential means field mapping must be flexible.

• Versioning: Rapid releases, you must monitor updates closely.

• Rate Limits: Relatively high thresholds but still require efficient design.

Partner Experience Best Practices

• Guided Setup: Include field mapping templates with sensible defaults.

• Custom Field Flexibility: Allow partners to adjust mappings to fit their instance.

• Error Transparency: Provide plain language explanations.

• Workflow Recipes: Publish guides like “Alert to Ticket in HaloPSA” or “Usage to Contract.”

• Community Enablement: Share integration packs in HaloPSA forums and peer groups.

• Sandboxing: Where possible, enable test mode before production.
