SignupCustomer Service Operation - Customer Management

  • Article

Creates a new customer and account.

Typically you must be a user with aggregator credentials to call this operation. In that case, the operation creates a new customer and account that roll up to your aggregator payment method. The AdvertiserAccount object must include the name of the account, the type of currency to use to settle the account, and the payment method identifier must be set to null. The operation generates an invoice account and sets the payment method identifier to the identifier associated with the aggregator's invoice. You are invoiced for all charges incurred by the customers that you manage.

Note

Agency customers in the Create Accounts on Behalf of Client pilot (GetCustomerPilotFeatures returns 793) can sign up a new customer on behalf of a client and optionally link to the new account as an agency. In this case a UserInvitation is sent and the client must complete sign up steps via the Microsoft Advertising UI such as accept the terms and conditions.

Note

Customers in the closed Unified smart campaigns pilot can sign up a new customer with an account for Unified smart campaigns. Optionally they can link to the new account as an agency. The super admin is provisioned by either setting the UserId or UserInvitation element.

Note

Customers in the seamlessly set up client account and PI pilot can sign up a new customer with an account and create an admin user simultaneously. The admin user is provisioned by setting the User element. And the customer must complete sign up steps via the Microsoft Advertising UI on the Microsoft Advertising activating customer page.

Request Elements

The SignupCustomerRequest object defines the body and header elements of the service operation request. The elements must be in the same order as shown in the Request SOAP.

Note

Unless otherwise noted below, all request elements are required.

Request Body Elements

Element Description Data Type
Account An AdvertiserAccount that specifies the details of the customer's primary account.

Customers in the closed Unified smart campaigns pilot must set the AccountMode element to "UnifiedSmart".		 AdvertiserAccount
Customer A Customer that specifies the details of the customer that you are adding. Customer
ParentCustomerId The customer identifier of the aggregator or agency that will manage the new child customer.

This element is required for aggregators but ignored for agencies when the UserInvitation request element is set. Customers in the closed Unified smart campaigns pilot can link the new customer to the parent agency ID or leave this element empty.		 long
User The user to create. You can fulfill this element if you want to sign up a new customer and create a new admin user simultaneously.

After the new customer is signed up, the newly created admin user must complete sign up steps via the Microsoft Advertising UI on the Microsoft Advertising activating customer page. The URL is https://ads.microsoft.com/ActivateCustomer?cid={new_customer_Id}&aid={new_account_Id} where new_customer_Id and new_account_Id are the IDs you get in the SignupCustomerResponse.

The AuthenticationToken in the User element is the OAuth access token that represents the credentials of the new admin user who will be created during signup.

Customers in the seamlessly set up client account and PI pilot must set one or more of the UserId or UserInvitation or User.

The required fields in the User object are ContactInfo.Email, Name.FirstName, Name.LastName and AuthenticationToken.		 User
UserId The identifier of an existing user who will be added as Super Admin in the new customer.

This element is only available for customers in the closed Unified smart campaigns pilot. One or more of the UserId or UserInvitation element must be set.		 long
UserInvitation The user invitation to send if you want to sign up a new customer on behalf of a client and optionally link to the new account as an agency.

A client Super Admin user must complete sign up steps via the Microsoft Advertising UI such as accept the terms and conditions.
