Overview

Bloom uses the terms Organizations and Partners to refer to prospects, customers, and even Bloom itself. To clarify the difference between these terms, refer to the definitions below.

Organizations

An organization is a company or entity that may have one or more consumers. This does not imply the organization is a customer of Bloom (as Bloom itself can be an organization).

Partners

A partner is an organization engaged in a relationship with Bloom, whether as a paying customer or a potential customer.

Partner and Organization IDs

Bloom assigns a unique partner_id or organization_id to both organizations and partners to identify their API requests.

Alias Organization IDs

There are use cases where a partner may want to comprise multiple organizations, and have one or more of them alias to one or more others in their Bloom API requests. For this, Bloom supports alias organization IDs.

While onboarding with Bloom, specify if you would like this functionality.

Example behavior: Organization A and B are created, with organization B aliasing to organization A. Every time a consumer is created or retrieved, for example, under organization B, Bloom will map to organization A under the hood and execute the request as if it was originally made for organization A. Retrieving all consumers for organization A or B will yield the same set of consumers.

Example use case: Your organization utilizes enablement services and reports to multiple sub-clients, but you still want all of your consumers under the parent organization.

Note

This ID is different from your client_id and is not used for authorization requests.
