What the OnBoardSoft Channel Partner Portal Zapier integration does
OnBoardSoft Channel Partner Portal is where you manage clients, the forms they fill in and your partner relationships. Zapier adds one thing to it: it creates a client in the portal from data that arrives in another tool, such as a form, a CRM or a sheet, so nobody copies contact details by hand.
One operation, Create New Client, and three outcomes it delivers:
Web leads become clients on arrival. A prospect fills in your website form and shows up in the portal with name, email, phone and company, ready for onboarding. Partner referrals land in one place. When a partner logs a referral in a shared sheet, the Zap turns each new row into a client record, so nothing waits in an inbox. Your CRM and the portal stay in step. A deal marked as won in the CRM can create the matching client, which keeps onboarding from starting on a missing record.
What Zapier does not do: the portal offers no trigger on Zapier, so nothing that happens inside it, such as a completed form, can start a Zap. There is no search either, so a Zap cannot check whether a client already exists before creating it, and no action to update a client. Your Zap starts in another app.
If you are still choosing a platform, the Make vs Zapier comparison lays out the criteria side by side.
Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Seven words appear on every Zapier screen. Plain definitions, so the rest of the page reads without a dictionary.
- Zap
- The automation you build: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time the trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event that starts the Zap. The portal has none on Zapier, so yours comes from another app, like a new form entry.
- Action
- What the Zap does once started: the step that writes, sends or moves something, here creating a client in the portal.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action that completes successfully. Your plan counts these, and only these.
- Polling vs instant
- A polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer. An instant one is pushed by its app as soon as the event happens.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap carry on only when the incoming data meets your condition, and stops it otherwise.
- Connection
- Your portal account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap that creates clients in it.
What it really costs to run
OnBoardSoft Channel Partner Portal is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan. With no trigger of its own, the Zap's speed depends on the trigger of the app that starts it.
- Per client createdOne task
- Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps
- Free plan Zap sizeTwo steps: one trigger, one action
- Premium appNo, available on the free plan
Each client created successfully is one task. Watching the source app for new leads costs nothing, however often Zapier checks, and a creation that fails is not counted. So the bill follows your lead volume, one task per client. The catch: the free plan builds two-step Zaps only, one trigger and one action. A filter to keep out incomplete leads, or a second action such as a welcome email, makes the Zap multi-step and needs a paid plan.
Connect OnBoardSoft Channel Partner Portal to Zapier in three steps
- 01
Open the Apps page
In your Zapier account, open Apps and click + Add connection. You need an account on the portal, plus write access to anything you do not own yourself but want the Zap to fill.
- 02
Find the portal
Type OnBoardSoft Channel Partner Portal in the dialog's search box, select it, then click Add connection. A new tab opens on the portal side for the sign-in.
- 03

Log in to the portal in that tab and allow Zapier to use the account. The connection then appears in your list, ready for every Zap that creates clients.
Your first Zap: every form lead becomes a client
GoalEach new form entry is checked by a filter, then created as a client in OnBoardSoft Channel Partner Portal.
- 01
Create the Zap and its trigger
Create a new Zap. Pick your form tool with the event New Entry, then select the form your prospects fill in on the website.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent entries of the form, so you can map a real lead in the next steps. Submit one test entry first if the form is new.
- 03
Add the filter (paid plans)
From the plus icon, add a Filter step that lets through only entries with a phone and a company. A filter makes the Zap multi-step, which needs a paid plan.
- 04
Add Create New Client
Pick OnBoardSoft Channel Partner Portal and Create New Client. Map the form answers into Name, Email, Phone and Company, all four required.
- 05
Test, then publish
Test the step and check the client appears in the portal with the right details. When it does, click Publish to switch the Zap on.
The OnBoardSoft Channel Partner Portal action
OnBoardSoft Channel Partner Portal gives you 1 action. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create New Client
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a new client using the supplied details.”
Adds a client to the portal from details collected elsewhere: the person's name, email address, phone number and company. The record is then ready for whatever onboarding you run in the portal.
When the OnBoardSoft Channel Partner Portal Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article and no documented error to this app. What goes wrong comes from its required fields and from general Zapier limits.
Four cases cover most of the failed or doubled records. For a broader checklist, the Zapier troubleshooting guide walks through the usual causes, and the Zapier training explains multi-step Zaps.
A required field is empty
Name, email, phone and company are all required. A lead missing one of them stops the step, and that run is not billed against your plan.The same client twice
The integration has no search, so the Zap cannot check whether a client exists. A lead who submits the form twice becomes two client records.Old leads never arrive
A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Entries collected before that stay in the form tool, and moving them is a separate job.A bulk import is held back
Import a huge list into the source app at once, and Zapier's flood protection can hold the batch back instead of creating every client.
