PortaFlow: Telecom Integration and Workflow Automation

Connect PortaBilling to telecom, network, and business systems. PortaOne helps design, build, operate, and support the workflows your integrations require.

What are you trying to automate?

PortaOne offers two workflow solutions, each designed for a different type of automation.

Custom integrations are another system to maintain

Connecting billing, network, finance, and business systems usually means custom code, separate logic, and ongoing operational work.

PortaFlow runs the workflow for you

PortaOne designs, builds, operates, and supports the integration workflows that connect PortaBilling with your other systems.

PortaOne Workflows what it is

What PortaFlow can do

From subscriber provisioning to customer onboarding, PortaFlow solutions help automate the processes that connect PortaBilling with the rest of your business.

Financial and billing workflows

Reconcile invoices and payments between PortaBilling and your external finance systems.

Subscriber and network provisioning

Turn PortaBilling events into automated provisioning actions on connected network systems.

Document and identity workflows

Handle document storage, verification, and related steps tied to service delivery.

Custom integrations

Build solutions for your specific systems and requirements when nothing prebuilt fits.

Not seeing your use case here?

Most PortaFlow workflows start with a specific integration need.

How it works

From trigger to outcome, every step is processed, recorded, and recoverable

1

A workflow starts

An event, API call, webhook, schedule, or manual action triggers the workflow.

2

PortaFlow runs the logic

It processes the input, applies the required steps, and sends actions to connected systems.

3

PortaFlow records the result

Every execution is recorded from input through each processing step to the final outcome.

Nothing gets lost when something fails

See exactly where it stopped, then retry it or replay it later, individually or in bulk, through PortaFlow's CLI and API. Queued work also survives a restart or node failure without being lost.
