Pulseway Integration Playbook for Channel Vendors

Pulseway stands out in the PSA landscape for combining PSA and RMM capabilities into a single, unified platform. With strong roots in monitoring and alerting, Pulseway empowers MSPs to turn signals into service actions quickly. For channel vendors, integrating with Pulseway means plugging into both PSA workflows and monitoring-driven habits.

This playbook provides a roadmap to building, launching, and scaling a Pulseway integration that delivers value by aligning with how MSPs already manage devices, alerts, and tickets.

Why Pulseway Matters

• Unified PSA + RMM: Combines service desk, billing, and monitoring.

• Signal-to-Service: Alerts and monitoring events drive ticket creation and resolution.

• Adoption Base: Growing traction among MSPs looking for simplicity in a combined platform.

• Partner Expectations: Vendors must connect monitoring signals to PSA workflows seamlessly.

Core Pulseway Integration Patterns

1. Alert-to-Ticket Automation

• Create PSA tickets automatically when monitoring alerts fire.

• Map ticket types, priorities, and queues.

• Auto-close tickets when alerts resolve.

2. Device & Asset Sync

• Sync devices/endpoints from your product into Pulseway assets.

• Include lifecycle metadata: serial, OS, patch version, warranty.

3. Customer & Contact Sync

• Align customers in your system with Pulseway Organizations.

• Maintain contact data for ticket ownership and reporting.

4. Billing & Usage Sync

• Push subscription, license, or usage data into Pulseway billing.

• Automate invoice-ready records for reconciliation.

5. Reporting & Dashboards

• Deliver reporting packs that show ROI directly in Pulseway.

• Highlight tickets resolved, alerts automated, or revenue reconciled.

Pulseway API Considerations

• Architecture: REST-based.

• Authentication: API keys; ensure secure storage and rotation.

• Focus Areas: Devices, alerts, tickets, and billing endpoints.

• Rate Limits: Moderate. Design batching and retries.

• Documentation: Practical, but vendors may need to test workflows extensively.

Partner Experience Best Practices

• Simple Setup: Fast configuration of alert-to-ticket workflows.

• Defaults: Pre-map alert categories to ticket types.

• Error Handling: Provide clear, plain-language feedback.

• Workflow Recipes: Publish guides like “Monitoring Alert to Ticket in Pulseway” or “Usage Sync to Billing.”

• Community Engagement: Share enablement packs in Pulseway forums and user groups.

• Testing: Provide partners a way to simulate alerts before going live.

Ecosystem Orchestration with Pulseway

Pulseway sits at the intersection of monitoring and PSA. To orchestrate the ecosystem:

• Highlight Time Saved: Show how integrations reduce manual ticketing.

• Show Billing Accuracy: Promote clean invoice reconciliation.

• Leverage Monitoring Habits: Integrations should meet MSPs where they already act at the alert stage.

• Earn Community Trust: Build case studies with MSPs who adopt the integration early.
