Overview
The Onboarding via Partner flow in OneEnterprise enables partners to initiate the customer onboarding process directly from the Partner Portal. When a partner refers a customer, the platform pre-fills the customer's registration form using lead data, skips the Data Center and Edition selection screens, and locks the email field as read-only throughout the process.
This guide covers both sides of the onboarding flow:
- Partner steps — How to initiate onboarding from the Leads screen in the Partner Portal.
- Customer steps — How the customer completes registration after receiving the onboarding email.
Key differences from direct onboarding:
- Registration fields are pre-filled from the partner's lead data via the API.
- The Data Center Selection screen is skipped automatically.
- The Edition Selection screen is skipped automatically.
- The email field is read-only and cannot be changed by the customer.
Part 1 – Partner Steps
Partners initiate the onboarding process from the Leads screen in the OneEnterprise Partner Portal. Only leads with a Qualified status are eligible for onboarding.
Step 1 – Initiate Onboarding from the Leads Screen
- Navigate to Customers > Leads in the left sidebar of the Partner Portal.
- The Leads list displays all leads associated with your partner account, including the company name, lead type, sign tier, status, onboarding date, and available actions.
- Locate the lead you want to onboard. The lead must have a status of Qualified to display the Onboard action button.
- Select the Onboard button in the Actions column for the target lead.
📄 Only leads with a Qualified status display the Onboard action button. Leads in New or other statuses do not show this option. Qualify the lead before initiating onboarding.
Step 2 – Onboarding Email Sent to Customer
- After you select the Onboard button, the system generates a unique onboarding link and sends it to the customer's email address on record.
- The system passes the Lead ID as a query parameter in the onboarding link. This ID is used to pre-fill the customer's registration form.
- No further action is required from the partner at this stage. The customer receives the email and proceeds independently.
📄 The onboarding email link is unique and tied to the Lead ID. Ensure the lead's email address is accurate before initiating onboarding, as the link is sent to that address.
Part 2 – Customer Steps
The customer receives a unique onboarding link by email. When the customer opens the link, the platform detects the Lead ID, identifies the customer as partner-referred, and automatically pre-fills the registration form from the partner portal API.
Step 3 – Complete the Registration Form
- Open the onboarding link from the email. The link opens the OneEnterprise registration screen.
- The platform calls the API 620 (GET partnerportal/lead/get) using the Lead ID in the link to retrieve and pre-fill all registration fields.
- Review the pre-filled information. All fields are editable except for the Email field, which is read-only and cannot be changed.
- Update any fields that require correction, such as the company name, contact details, address, or phone number.
- Select Next or Continue to proceed to the next step.
📄 The email field is locked as read-only throughout the entire onboarding process for partner-referred customers. If the email address is incorrect, contact your partner to update the lead record before restarting onboarding.
Step 4 – Data Center Selection (Auto-Skipped)
- For partner-referred customers, the Data Center Selection screen does not appear.
- The platform automatically retrieves the data center information from the lead data loaded in browser memory during Step 3.
- No action is required. The platform proceeds directly to the next step.
✓ This step is automatically completed for partner-referred customers. The data center is captured from the lead record and applied without requiring your selection.
Step 5 – Edition Selection (Auto-Skipped)
- For partner-referred customers, the Edition Selection screen does not appear.
- The platform automatically retrieves the edition information from the lead data loaded in browser memory during Step 3.
- No action is required. The platform proceeds directly to the next step.
✓ This step is automatically completed for partner-referred customers. The edition is captured from the lead record and applied without requiring your selection.
Step 6 – Create Your Credentials and Tenant
- The Email field is carried forward from your registration form and displayed as read-only. This field cannot be changed.
- Enter a Password that meets the platform's security requirements (minimum length, uppercase, number, and special character as indicated on screen).
- Confirm your password in the Confirm Password field.
- Enter a Tenant name to create your dedicated OneEnterprise environment. The tenant name identifies your organisation's instance on the platform.
- Select Create or Next to submit your credentials and tenant information.
📄 Your tenant name is permanent and cannot be changed after creation. Choose a name that clearly represents your organisation's OneEnterprise instance.
Step 7 – Review the Summary and Confirm
- The Summary screen displays a complete read-only view of all information entered during the onboarding process, including your contact details, selected edition, data center, billing cycle, and tenant name.
- Review all information carefully. All fields on this screen are read-only.
- If any information is incorrect, use the browser Back button to return to the relevant step and make corrections.
- Select Confirm to submit your onboarding. The platform triggers the tenant provisioning API to create your OneEnterprise environment.
- Select Pay to initiate the payment process for your selected edition and billing cycle.
📄 Selecting Confirm triggers tenant provisioning immediately. Ensure all information on the Summary screen is correct before confirming. You cannot modify your registration details after submission.
