Inviting Pre-Registered Customers by Emails

A partner can send an email to invite a pre-registered customer for association.

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.

Prerequisites

If you need to send an email to invite a customer, you need to pre-register this customer first. For details, see Pre-registering Customers.
