Integration checklist

  • Bidirectional ticket / alert sync

    One-way alert push only — closing the ticket does not clear the alert.

  • Asset / device mapping

    Devices match to client records automatically after the initial mapping pass.

  • Alert escalation rules

    Escalation logic has to live in one system; expect duplicated rule sets.

  • Billing reconciliation

    Neither product owns billing — reconcile through your billing/PSA layer.

  • Webhook / event support

    Polling required — API grades C and A limit real-time events.

Common bottlenecks & caveats

  • Sync depth is partial — budget technician time or an automation platform such as Rewst.
  • API rate limits on Proofpoint Essentials cause sync lag on tenants above ~1,000 endpoints.
  • Seat minimums apply (Proofpoint Essentials: 25, HaloPSA: 1) — small tenants pay for unused units.
  • Field mapping is not retroactive: records created before the integration is enabled usually need a one-time backfill.
