Inviting Pre-Registered Customers by Hyperlinks or QR Codes

You can invite customers by sending emails or sending hyperlinks and QR codes.

  • By default, you can be associated with your customers in the reseller model in Partner Center. If you need to enable the referral model, contact your ecosystem manager.
  • If you do not have customer development permissions, contact your ecosystem manager.

Precautions

  • The invitation hyperlinks and QR codes displayed on the By Link or QR Code page contain custom tags (usernames used for login).
  • After an account manager or account director invites customers by invitation links and QR codes, the customers will be automatically associated with and assigned to the account manager or account director.
  • Offline associations are only available to new customer accounts. If a customer wants to associate with a partner using an existing account, they need to contact partner to send an online association invitation.

Procedure

  1. Sign in to Huawei Cloud as a partner.
  2. In the drop-down list of your account name, click Partner Center to go to the Partner Center.
  3. In the top navigation, select Sales > Leads and Opportunities > Customer Development.
  4. Click the By Link or QR Code tab.
  5. Obtain the invitation link and QR code.

    A partner can invite a customer by the general/custom invitation link and QR code or a promotional link.

    After receiving the invitation, the customer can click the link or scan the QR code to sign up for Huawei Cloud and associate with you. For details, see Requesting Association with a Partner.

    • When creating a custom invitation link and a QR code, add a tag to them. Then you can identify associated customers by tag. You can view customer tags in the customer list on the Customers > Customer Management page.
    • If you do not want to create a custom tag for a customer, use the general invitation link and QR code.
    • The invitation link and QR code for a promotional activity are valid only for a period of time. Remind your customers to complete the registration within the validity period.
    • You can click the eye icon before Process Flowchart to view the process guide for developing customers by hyperlinks or QR codes.
