How to Make Connections With Existing Users in the Platform
‍

There are two ways to make connections with existing users.

1. Connect via Client ID

If you already know the Client ID (The ID that existing users in the platform have) of the supplier you want to connect with, you can easily add them this way:

1. Click on the ‘Connections tab’ in your dashboard.
2. Click on the ‘Requests button’.
3. Scroll down a little, you’ll find a search bar for Client ID.
4. Enter the ‘Client ID’ of the supplier you wish to add.
5. Click on the ‘Add Connection' button next to the search bar.

Once done, a connection request will be sent to the supplier, and once they accept it, you can start collaborating on the platform.

1. They can find it in their connections tab.
2. Go to the ‘requests’ tab.
3. It will be shown in the ‘requested connections list’.

2. Connect via Invitation Code

You can also invite a supplier by generating a unique invitation code and sharing it directly with them.

1. Click on the ‘Connections tab’ in your dashboard and go to the ‘Invite tab’.
2. Click the ‘Invite Supplier' button.
3. The Invite Supplier form will appear. Fill out the fields.
4. Click ‘Create’.
5. You’ll be redirected to the invitation page.
6. Copy only the ‘Invite Code’ displayed there.
7. Send this code to your supplier via email.

Once your supplier receives the invitation code, here’s how they can use it to connect with your company:

1. They click on the ‘Connections tab’ in their dashboard.
2. Click on the ‘Requests tab’.
3. Scroll down a little, they’ll see a search bar labeled 'Invitation Code'.
4. Enter the invitation code you sent them into this bar.
5. Click ‘Redeem’.
