Azure AD B2B: New updates make cross-business collab easy
Dean,
I don't know about B2B, but the invitation API (in beta) allows for customizing the experience (the message and directing to a specific URL when complete).
Im working on a blog post about it.

Paul - we're making a ton of updates to our documentation. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-b2b-what-is-azure-ad-b2b
API and customization: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-b2b-api
Code samples: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-b2b-code-samples
I'd love for you to look at it and give us comments. As you write your blog post, if there's something you thought you'd see in the docs but don't, or if you have questions - reach out to me! :-)
Thanks for doing this! Also, do send me your blog link, would love to read and happy to tweet about it :-)
- In your first post with the API and Customization link, the href has a trailing space. When clicked on in Edge, that causes the 404.

Thanks for this note, Paul!
- Thanks Sarat. I'll look further.
The API link is bad. It shows your custom 404 message.- Sarat SubramaniamOh? Do you mean this link - just tried and it worked for me. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-b2b-api
You can also try going to the root of the doc link I provided https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-b2b-what-is-azure-ad-b2b
And navigating through the links on the left and see if that works.

Correct - you can use the B2B invitation API to create custom invitations. We are updating the documentation and they will include these instructions soon.

The blog post at https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/enterprisemobility/2017/02/01/azure-ad-b2b-new-updates-make-cross-business-collab-easy/ was posted 2 days ago and clearly states that there is new documenation, but I can't find anything that describes how to create a custom invitation? what is going on?
- Sarat SubramaniamOur doc writer is going hard at the updates. We havent gotten everything updated yet but will get that done in the next few days. Thanks for your patience!
- That is great! I'm working on an API project that will allow a user to initiate the invite using a SharePoint list & Flow (https://flow.microsoft.com).
I have many customers who want to watch who is being invited and control their access. This will allow them to approve requests and also put a policy/governance page in front of the external user.
