Execution Flow

Step 1: Submit Deal Registration

partner.register_deal({
  partnerId: context.partnerId,
  registration: {
    companyName: data.company,
    companyDomain: data.domain,
    contactName: data.contact,
    contactEmail: data.email,
    contactTitle: data.title,
    estimatedValue: data.dealSize,
    estimatedCloseDate: data.closeDate,
    productInterest: data.products,
    useCase: data.useCase,
    competitorPresent: data.competitors,
    partnerRole: data.role,
    notes: data.notes
  }
})

Step 2: Validate Registration

async function validateRegistration(registration) {
  const validationResults = {
    valid: true,
    issues: [],
    warnings: []
  };
  
  // Check for duplicate registrations
  const existingRegs = await partner.get_registrations({
    domain: registration.companyDomain,
    status: ['pending', 'approved', 'active']
  });
  
  if (existingRegs.length > 0) {
    validationResults.valid = false;
    validationResults.issues.push({
      type: 'duplicate',
      existing: existingRegs[0],
      message: `Already registered by ${existingRegs[0].partnerName}`
    });
  }
  
  // Check for existing direct deals
  const existingDeals = await crm.get_deals({
    domain: registration.companyDomain,
    status: ['open']
  });
  
  if (existingDeals.length > 0) {
    validationResults.valid = false;
    validationResults.issues.push({
      type: 'existing_deal',
      deal: existingDeals[0],
      message: 'Active opportunity exists in direct pipeline'
    });
  }
  
  // Check partner eligibility
  const partner = await partner.get({ partnerId: registration.partnerId });
  if (!partner.canRegisterDeals) {
    validationResults.valid = false;
    validationResults.issues.push({
      type: 'not_eligible',
      message: 'Partner not eligible for deal registration'
    });
  }
  
  // Validate deal size
  if (registration.estimatedValue < partner.tier.minDealSize) {
    validationResults.warnings.push({
      type: 'deal_size',
      message: `Deal below typical size for ${partner.tier.name} partners`
    });
  }
  
  return validationResults;
}

Step 3: Check for Conflicts

crm.get_deal({
  domain: registration.companyDomain,
  includeHistory: true,
  includeActivities: true
})

Conflict resolution rules:

function resolveConflict(registration, existingDeal) {
  // Partner was first
  if (registration.submittedAt < existingDeal.createdAt) {
    return {
      decision: 'partner_priority',
      action: 'Convert existing deal to partner-sourced'
    };
  }
  
  // Within grace period (7 days)
  const daysDiff = daysBetween(existingDeal.createdAt, registration.submittedAt);
  if (daysDiff <= 7) {
    return {
      decision: 'manual_review',
      action: 'Escalate to channel conflict committee'
    };
  }
  
  // Deal already in late stage
  if (['Negotiation', 'Closed Won'].includes(existingDeal.stage)) {
    return {
      decision: 'reject',
      reason: 'Deal already in advanced stage'
    };
  }
  
  // Partner influence recognized
  return {
    decision: 'partial_credit',
    action: 'Add partner as influencer, not sourced'
  };
}

Step 4: Process Approval

partner.approve_registration({
  registrationId: registration.id,
  decision: 'approved',
  protectionPeriod: calculateProtectionPeriod(partner.tier),
  discountAuthorization: partner.tier.maxDiscount,
  conditions: approvalConditions,
  approvedBy: approver.id
})

Step 5: Create/Link CRM Deal

crm.create_deal({
  source: 'partner_registration',
  partnerId: registration.partnerId,
  registrationId: registration.id,
  company: registration.companyName,
  contact: registration.contactName,
  amount: registration.estimatedValue,
  closeDate: registration.estimatedCloseDate,
  stage: 'Partner Registered',
  customFields: {
    partnerProtected: true,
    protectionExpires: protectionEndDate,
    authorizedDiscount: discountAuth
  }
})

Step 6: Notify Partner

messaging.send_email({
  to: partner.contactEmail,
  template: "registration_decision",
  variables: {
    partnerName: partner.name,
    companyName: registration.companyName,
    decision: decision,
    protectionPeriod: protectionDays,
    discountAuth: discountPercentage,
    expirationDate: expirationDate,
    nextSteps: nextStepsGuidance,
    registrationId: registration.id
  }
})

Step 7: Monitor Expiration

function checkExpirations() {
  const expiringRegs = await partner.get_registrations({
    status: 'active',
    expiresWithin: 14 // days
  });
  
  expiringRegs.forEach(reg => {
    if (reg.daysUntilExpiration <= 14 && !reg.expirationNotified14) {
      sendExpirationWarning(reg, 14);
    }
    if (reg.daysUntilExpiration <= 7 && !reg.expirationNotified7) {
      sendExpirationWarning(reg, 7);
    }
  });
}

async function requestExtension(registrationId, reason, newCloseDate) {
  // Validate extension request
  const reg = await partner.get_registration(registrationId);
  
  if (reg.extensionCount >= 2) {
    return { approved: false, reason: 'Maximum extensions reached' };
  }
  
  // Auto-approve if deal is progressing
  const deal = await crm.get_deal({ registrationId });
  if (deal.stageProgress > 0.5) {
    return await partner.extend_registration({
      registrationId,
      additionalDays: 60,
      reason: 'Deal progression'
    });
  }
  
  return { requiresReview: true };
}
