Security first
Built for sensitive onboarding documents.
Every upload is encrypted. Every link expires. Every access is logged. Sensitive data stays out of email, and out of the wrong hands.
Expiring magic links
Each recipient gets a unique link that expires and can be revoked or regenerated any time.
Role-based access
Control who on your team can view, edit, or approve each onboarding.
Activity visibility
Every upload, view, and edit is logged. You always know who did what, and when.
Files out of email threads
No attachments in threads, no forwarded PDFs. Documents live in one auditable place.
TLS 1.3 in transit • AES-256 at rest • Least-privilege access • Audit log per onboarding
Onboarding Is Slow to Set Up and Slower to Finish
First you build the checklist and forms by hand. Then come five follow-ups for missing docs, info scattered across email and Drive, and projects that stall before they start. You look disorganized.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to build the onboarding myself?
No. Just describe what you need in plain English, and OnboardMap builds the whole onboarding, checklist, intake forms, document requests, and a branded portal. Review or tweak anything you want, then send.
What does the AI do with uploaded files?
Every file uploaded is read and summarized automatically, so you can see what’s inside without opening each document. Your data stays encrypted and private to your account.
Do recipients need to create an account?
No. Recipients access their portal via a magic link sent by email. No signup, no password, no app to install. They click the link, see their checklist, and start completing steps immediately.
How do magic links work?
Each recipient gets a unique link to their portal. Links are one-per-recipient, expire after a set period, and can be revoked or regenerated anytime. If a link is forwarded, the person only sees that one portal, never your dashboard or anyone else's.
Is it free to start?
Yes. Your first client onboarding is completely free, with unlimited team members included. No credit card required, no trial clock. After that, each onboarding you send is a flat $12. There's no subscription and no monthly fee.
How does pricing work?
You pay $12 per client onboarding you send, and your first one is free. There are no plans, no subscription, and no monthly limits, create as many onboardings as you need and pay only for what you send. There's no cap on total clients. Storage limits still apply to your account.
Can I brand the portal?
Yes. Every onboarding includes a branded portal link, and you can customize your logo and brand colors for a fully white-labeled onboarding experience.
Can I export data and integrate with other tools?
CSV export is included for every account. Zapier and webhooks are planned. Tell us what you need and we'll prioritize.
