Link a client account to my MCC account without using email

[Niket Shah]

Hello,

I have an existing MCC account. I am trying to link a client's account using AdWords API's mutateLink call and accept it using the client's refresh token and access token obtained after the consent screen. However, I want to automate this and NOT send an email to the client. So basically, once the client gives consent, linking his/her account with my MCC account should be automated with sending any emails. How can I achieve this?

Hi Niket,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I see that you’re utilizing ManagedCustomerService and wish to not send an email to the client when you send the request. Could you clarify what type of email it is sending? If it is sending a notification email, this is to alert the user of the link for notification purposes. However, if it’s a request email, this could be because you’ve set CustomerIdMode to “CLIENT_EXTERNAL_EMAIL_FIELD”, in which case, Client Email is required. If this is not what you’re asking about, could you please clarify your concern?

Thank you,
Bryan, Google Ads API Team

Hey Bryan,

 A request mail is being sent where the client needs to accept the request in order to add his/her account under my MCC account. I don't want this mail to be sent. I just want the link to be created so that I can accept the link using the client's access and refresh token which I will get after his consent. Also, where do I have the option of CustomerIdMode? Under which service and function in the Adwords API?

Hi Niket,

Thank you for the clarification. I understand your question more clearly. Unfortunately it is not possible to toggle sending that kind of email through the API. The field CustomerIdMode also is not required since you’re not encountering the CLIENT_EMAIL_REQUIRED error. Please let me know if you have further questions.
