Sample requests

The following example gets the top 10 most recent inbound co-sell opportunities. The request fetches opportunities initiated by a Microsoft sales representative or another partner, inviting your organization to participate in a co-selling activity.

GET https://api.partner.microsoft.com/v1.0/engagements/referrals?$top=10&$filter=(type eq 'Shared' and direction eq 'Incoming')&$orderby=createdDateTime desc HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer <token>
Content-Type: application/json

The following example gets the most recent inbound leads and opportunities that have not been responded to.

GET https://api.partner.microsoft.com/v1.0/engagements/referrals?$top=10&$filter=(direction eq 'Incoming' and substatus eq 'Pending')&$orderby=createdDateTime desc HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer <token>
Content-Type: application/json

Important

If you don't respond to a lead or opportunity within the allotted time (currently 14 days), we'll archive it as Expired and notify either Microsoft or the partner who sent you this opportunity.

The following example gets the most recent active co-sell opportunities initiated by your organization and being worked on by a specific seller.

GET https://api.partner.microsoft.com/v1.0/engagements/referrals?$filter=status eq 'Active' and direction eq 'Outgoing' and type eq 'Shared' and team/any(t:t/email eq 'r2d2@contoso.com')&$orderby=createdDateTime desc HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer <token>
Content-Type: application/json
