You do not need a contract, a call, or a sandbox to find out whether Introw works for your program. Sign up, connect your CRM, and take one real partner live. The free plan has no time limit, so the only thing you are committing is the half hour it takes to set up.
What free actually includes
No trial countdown, and no feature crippled to make a point. The free plan is the whole product at the scale of one partner.
The number that matters is portals, and a portal is what a partner gets when you publish an experience to them. So import your whole ecosystem on day one: a partner sitting in your list costs nothing. The limit only bites when you take the second partner live.
What is already built when you arrive
Your workspace is not empty. It is seeded from a working demo program, so the first thing you do is edit something rather than face a blank page.Two portal experiences
A referral experience and a reseller experience, built and ready to publish.
Forms with CRM automations
Deal registration and lead sharing, already mapped to CRM fields.
A tier plan and roles
Tiers with requirements, internal roles, and a segment holding all partners.
Content and an asset hub
Starter assets in folders, plus the hub that surfaces them in a portal.
Journeys and tasks
An onboarding path you can assign to a new partner.
Reports and dashboards
A seeded set, plus announcements and reusable synced sections.
Your first 30 minutes
This is the spine every setup track shares, whatever kind of partner you run. Do it in this order: step 2 is what decides whether anything downstream works.1
Connect your CRM · ~3 min · needs CRM admin rights
OAuth into HubSpot or Salesforce. This is the step most people underestimate, because it usually needs someone with admin rights in the CRM rather than the person running partnerships. If that is not you, send it to whoever holds the keys and keep going: you can add partners by hand in the meantime.Before you ask them, HubSpot permissions and scopes and Salesforce permissions and scopes tell them exactly what Introw reads and writes.
2
Tell Introw which records are partners · ~5 min
Three questions: where partners live in your CRM, which of those records are partners, and which objects link to a partner. Deals above all. Get the filter right here and your pipeline, attribution and commissions all resolve on their own.See Detect partners from your CRM and Configure deal attribution.
3
Bring your partners in · ~5 min
Import them from the CRM filter, or add one by hand. Their contacts come with them. Import as many as you like: this does not touch the free limit.See Sync partners and contacts.
4
Make the seeded form yours · ~5 min
Open the deal-registration form that is already there rather than building one. Cut the fields you do not need, confirm the CRM mapping, then submit it once yourself and watch the record land in your CRM. That single test is the fastest proof that the whole thing works.See Test a form before partners see it.
5
Publish one experience to one partner · ~10 min
Start from a seeded experience, change the parts that are obviously ours, and publish it to a single partner: ideally a real one you have a relationship with, who will tell you when something is confusing.See Build and publish a portal experience and, before you send anything, Draft, published and preview.
6
Invite them, and watch what happens
Granting access and sending an invitation are two different actions, so a partner can be able to sign in and not know it. Invite them deliberately, then check whether they actually opened it.See Launch the portal and run the first two weeks.
What you can prove for free
One partner is enough to run the whole loop end to end, which is the point of the free plan. With a single partner live you can prove:- A partner registers a deal in their portal and it lands in your CRM, attributed to them, with your naming and your owner.
- A submission goes through an approval gate, and the partner is told the outcome in words you wrote.
- The partner sees their own pipeline and only their own records.
- They open an asset and you can see that they did.
- They finish an onboarding journey and a task closes.
- Your team gets the whole thing in HubSpot or Salesforce, on the record they were already looking at.
Then pick the track for your partner type
The steps above are the common half. What comes next depends on who closes the deal, and each track only sends you to configure what that partner type actually uses.Referral
Off-portal registration, conflict protection, referral fees. The vendor closes.
Affiliate
Tracked links, conversion attribution, fraud rules, payouts. The vendor closes.
Co-sell
Collaboration on the live CRM deal, shared pipeline, co-branded assets, MDF.
Reseller
Tiering, deal registration that protects margin, self-serve quoting, certification.
Distributor
Multi-tier attribution on one deal, sub-partner access, sell-through reporting.
Implementation
A clean handoff on the won deal, scoped delivery access, go-live tracking.
Taking your whole ecosystem live
The second partner is the moment the free plan ends, and it is a deliberate line: one partner proves the product, an ecosystem is a program. When you get there, three things change and none of them is a rebuild.1
Add portals for the partners you want live
Publishing an experience to partners who have no portal yet is what consumes them, and the check counts only the partners you are adding. Editing a live experience is never blocked.
See Understand what your plan meters.
2
Turn on the modules your program needs
Commissions, courses and certificates, MDF, partner quoting, affiliate campaigns, custom domains, SSO and the rest are per-plan. An area showing an upgrade prompt is a module question, not a count you can free up.
3
Roll out in waves, not all at once
Take a cohort live, get half of them active, then widen. The pattern that fails is inviting everyone on day one and finding out a month later that nobody opened it.
See Launch the portal and run the first two weeks.
