Hi @Miguel , thanks for the question. These steps should get you where you need to be:

1. Set up the custom policy in your Azure AD B2C tenant as described in the invite-via-email repository.
2. In your Angular application, use the MSAL for Angular library to handle authentication with Azure AD B2C. You can follow the instructions in doc1 to configure authentication in your Angular SPA.
3. In your .NET backend, use the Microsoft.Identity.Web library to handle authentication and token validation.
4. Create an API endpoint in your .NET backend that generates an invitation link. This endpoint should:

• Create a user in your Azure AD B2C tenant with a random password.
• Generate a password reset URL using the custom policy you set up in step 1.
• Send an email to the invited user with the password reset URL.

5. In your Angular application, create a form to collect the user's email address and call the API endpoint you created in step 4 when the form is submitted.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I can help you further.
