ManagedCustomerService.MutateLink (From client)

[Derek T]

I'm trying to link accounts, using the MutateLink operation on ManagedCustomerService.  However, this operation does not work the way that I had hoped.

In order to get this method to work correctly, I (the manager) need to login, then send the invitation to my desired client.

What I'm hoping to do is allow my clients to send an invitation for me to manage their account.

Is this possible?

If this is not possible, what is a recommended workflow to handle the fact that I need to send my clients an invitation, instead of them sending it to me?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Derek,

For linking accounts via the API, the manager would need to extend an invitation to the client account. That is, you would need to use ManagedCustomerService.mutateLink to invite a client account and then the ManagedCustomerService.getPendingInvitations would let you see all the pending invitations that have been accepted or declined. This guide may give you better clarity and it has code snippets as well.
