Inviting Pre-Registered Customers by Emails

Distributors can send emails to one or more pre-registered customers to invite them to complete the association. Once the association is successful, the customers become customers of partners. Distributors can provide them with products and services based on Huawei Cloud and obtain corresponding sales benefits.

  • If you do not have customer development permissions, contact your ecosystem manager.
  • After a partner sends an association invitation to a customer, the customer can click the invitation link to associate with the partner. For details, see Associating with a Partner Using an Invitation Link.
  • After a customer is associated with a partner, the customer account will be frozen by default and some of their resources will be inaccessible until the account is unfrozen. You can set a budget for the customer and unfreeze their account. To ensure the customer's cloud services are not impacted, submit a service ticket to request association in the background.
  • A partner can also invite customers by hyperlinks or QR codes. For details, see Inviting Customers by Hyperlink or QR Code.
