Inviting Customers by Hyperlink or QR Code

Precautions

• The general-purpose invitation link or QR code generated by a partner administrator or operator contains a customized tag, indicating the account name of the administrator or operator.
• An account manager or account manager director who has the permission to assign customers can send invitation links and QR codes to associate with customers offline. After the association, the customers are automatically assigned to the corresponding account manager or account manager director.
• You can only invite new customers through offline invitation. If you want to associate with an existing account, contact your partner to invite the account online.
