Hi everyone,

I am hoping there is a way to translate a clientEmail into an
ExternalCustomerId. This way I can use the ClientEmails property to
request new reports and will know what CustomerIds I can expect in the
report.

Thanks,

L.

Hello,

The getAccountInfo() method of the AccountService should expose the
data you're looking for in its results. Just call it when logged in in
context of the client account in question.

So is there no way to get at this info when logged into my MMC account
( I can get all or the clientEmails as you know)? Ideally
getAccountInfo would take an emailAddress as a param, or there would
be some report out there that would expose both clientEmail and
CustomerId.

Hello,

If you specify your MCC's credentials in the email and password SOAP
headers, and then specify the (known) client email address in the
clientEmail header, and then you call getAccountInfo, you'll get the
info for the client in question. You're technically acting on behalf
of the client in that scenario.

If you need a refresher on how the clientEmail header works, the
information is available at
