By unifying endpoint management with PSA workflows, MSPs can eliminate tedious manual processes, reduce human error, and respond to issues faster \u2013 all from a single pane of glass within HaloPSA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At launch, the MSP360 + HaloPSA integration delivers several key capabilities for MSPs:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>One-Click Remote Access:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Technicians can instantly launch a secure MSP360 Connect remote session for any endpoint right from its HaloPSA asset page, with a single click. No more switching between platforms or entering separate credentials \u2013 remote support is seamlessly integrated into the PSA workflow.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"font-size: 1rem;\" src=\"https:\/\/help.msp360.com\/content\/images\/35-connect1.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Automated Ticket Creation:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Whenever MSP360 RMM detects an alert or a backup job fails, a detailed ticket is automatically generated in HaloPSA\u2019s service desk. The ticket includes the affected device and customer, the alert type, timestamp, and relevant error details, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Continuous Asset Synchronization:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> All computers managed in MSP360 are continuously synced into HaloPSA as managed assets. Devices are automatically exported and mapped under the correct customers and sites in HaloPSA, so your asset inventory stays up-to-date without manual entry.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These features empower MSPs to unify their endpoint visibility and support workflows. For example, an MSP technician can receive an alert from MSP360, find an auto-created ticket in HaloPSA with all the context, and immediately click to remote into the affected machine \u2013 all in one consolidated environment. Fewer context switches and automated documentation mean faster response times and improved service levels for clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Integration Capabilities Breakdown<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a closer look at how the MSP360 &#x2194; HaloPSA integration works and the benefits it brings:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Seamless Asset Synchronization<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every endpoint you manage with MSP360 is now reflected in HaloPSA automatically. The integration exports MSP360 \u201cCompanies\u201d (customers) and their devices into HaloPSA\u2019s Assets module, organizing them under the corresponding HaloPSA Customers and Sites. This continuous synchronization ensures that asset records in both systems stay aligned in near real-time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MSPs no longer need to manually create or update entries in the PSA when onboarding new devices or clients \u2013 the integration handles it behind the scenes. Additionally, during the initial setup, MSP360 creates a hidden custom field in HaloPSA to store each endpoint\u2019s unique MSP360 hardware ID. This guarantees a reliable one-to-one mapping between MSP360 devices and HaloPSA asset records, even if machine names change over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>One-Click Remote Access <\/b><b><i>(Plus Integrated RMM)<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/_ipx\/f_webp&amp;fit_fill&amp;s_864x672\/images-new\/screens\/screenshot-halo-psa1.webp\" alt=\"One-click access to MSP360 remote tools from HaloPSA\" \/><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HaloPSA asset pages now include a <\/span><b>\u201cConnect to MSP360\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> button for instant remote access to that<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> endpoint.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> From any HaloPSA asset screen, technicians can launch an MSP360 Managed Connect session with one click, securely connecting to the remote desktop without leaving the PSA interface. This tight integration saves precious time during support calls \u2013 there\u2019s no need to separately open a remote access tool or ask for device IDs and credentials. The result is faster troubleshooting and resolution for customer issues, all within your unified workflow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For deeper endpoint management, admins can also enable an optional \u201cRMM for computer\u201d button in HaloPSA. This button links directly to the device\u2019s page in the MSP360 RMM console, so technicians can dive into performance metrics, software deployment, or scripting on that machine as needed. Whether it\u2019s quick remote control or comprehensive monitoring, MSPs have one-click access to the right tool at the right time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><b>Automated Ticketing for Faster Resolutions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most powerful benefits now live is <\/span><b>automatic ticket creation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in HaloPSA based on MSP360 alerts and events. Whenever a backup job encounters an error or an RMM monitoring alert is triggered, the integration will auto-generate a ticket in HaloPSA\u2019s service desk. Each ticket includes key details such as the affected customer and device, the type of issue (e.g. backup failure, low disk space alert, etc.), the timestamp, and any error codes or metrics related to the event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This level of detail gives your support team the context they need without having to dig through emails or logs. More importantly, it ensures that no alert is overlooked \u2013 every failure or warning is logged as a ticket that can be tracked and resolved. By funneling MSP360 events into HaloPSA\u2019s ticketing system, MSPs can respond faster and adhere to their service level agreements (SLAs) more easily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The automation not only saves time but also reduces the chance of human error in creating tickets, leading to improved incident response and customer satisfaction. All of this runs through HaloPSA\u2019s secure REST API with token-based authentication, so the ticketing process is seamless and safe in the background.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><b>Coming Soon: Usage and Billing Sync<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the roadmap for this integration is a <\/span><b>usage-based billing synchronization<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> feature, which is currently in development. In future updates, MSP360 plans to automatically push licensing and storage usage data into HaloPSA\u2019s billing modules. This means MSPs will eventually be able to have up-to-date MSP360 usage information (such as the number of licenses in use, or cloud storage consumed per client) reflected in HaloPSA for invoicing purposes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once live, this will eliminate the need to manually gather usage stats from MSP360 for customer billing \u2013 instead, HaloPSA could generate invoices or billing reports that already include those details. Stay tuned for this update, as it will further streamline the business side of MSP operations by tying together technical usage data with PSA financial tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><b>Behind the Scenes: Technical Highlights<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this integration delivers obvious workflow benefits on the surface, it\u2019s also built with careful attention to security and ease of deployment. Here are some technical highlights of the MSP360 + HaloPSA integration:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Secure API Authorization<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting up the integration is secure and straightforward. It uses HaloPSA\u2019s OAuth 2.0 API credentials (Client ID and Secret) which you enter into the MSP360 management console. All communication between MSP360 and HaloPSA is encrypted via HTTPS, and your API credentials are stored safely (never in plaintext) on our side. This ensures that data (like ticket details or asset information) flows securely between the two platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Role-Based Access Control<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You only need HaloPSA admin privileges once during the initial configuration to set up the connection, create the custom asset field, and add the new buttons. After that, the integration can run using a dedicated service account with minimal permissions \u2013 just enough to read asset info and create tickets. This principle of least privilege keeps your systems secure while the integration operates. (In fact, HaloPSA\u2019s own guidance recommends using granular API user roles for integrations, and we\u2019ve designed ours to follow that best practice.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><em><strong>Automatic Company and Site Mapping<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no complicated manual mapping to worry about \u2013 the integration intelligently links your MSP360 entities to the right places in HaloPSA. For example, MSP360 \u201cCompanies\u201d correspond to HaloPSA Customers, and sites under those companies map to HaloPSA Sites. All devices under a company are synced to the proper customer and site in HaloPSA automatically. You can also choose which companies or endpoints to sync, so you remain in control of what data is shared. The result is a clean one-to-one mapping across systems with zero duplicate effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Unique Endpoint Identifier<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned earlier, each endpoint is tagged with a unique hardware ID on the MSP360 side. The integration stores this ID in the hidden custom field (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MSPCBLHID<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) on the HaloPSA asset. This behind-the-scenes identifier means the integration always knows exactly which HaloPSA asset corresponds to which MSP360 device, even if you rename a computer or reassign it. It eliminates confusion and ensures that actions like remote connections or tickets are targeting the correct node every time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Continuous Sync without Scripts<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The MSP360 integration service performs periodic checks and updates via the HaloPSA API to keep data fresh. It\u2019s designed to maintain near real-time synchronization of asset information and alert status, without requiring MSPs to set up any custom webhooks or external polling scripts. The sync frequency is tuned to provide up-to-date information in HaloPSA with minimal latency, so what you see in the PSA is a near mirror of what\u2019s in MSP360 at any given moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"call-to-action\">\n<div class=\"call-to-action__left\" style=\"width: 40%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/halopsa-1-300x269.png\" alt=\"HaloPSA\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"call-to-action__right\" style=\"width: 60%;\">\n<div class=\"call-to-action__title\">HaloPSA + MSP360 Integration<\/div>\n<div class=\"call-to-action__text\">Unified monitoring, backup intelligence, and ticketing in one seamless PSA-driven workflow.<\/div>\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper hs-cta-deferred\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-8927820f-527a-413b-9925-45085601df50\" data-portal=\"5442029\" data-id=\"8927820f-527a-413b-9925-45085601df50\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-8927820f-527a-413b-9925-45085601df50\" id=\"hs-cta-8927820f-527a-413b-9925-45085601df50\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/5442029\/8927820f-527a-413b-9925-45085601df50\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-8927820f-527a-413b-9925-45085601df50\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/5442029\/8927820f-527a-413b-9925-45085601df50.png\" alt=\"CTA\"><\/a><\/span><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code -->\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Unified Vision for MSP Workflows<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This partnership with HaloPSA underscores MSP360\u2019s commitment to an open, connected ecosystem for MSP tools.
