Accepting or declining a link request - AWS RTB Fabric

Accepting or declining a link request

When another RTB Fabric user sends you a link request, you can accept or reject it from your gateway's Associated links tab. Link requests allow other RTB Fabric users to connect and send bid requests to your gateway.

To accept or reject a link request

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the RTB Fabric console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rtbfabric.

  2. Choose either Requester Gateways or Responder Gateways depending on which gateway received the link request.

  3. Choose the gateway that received the link request.

  4. Choose the Associated links tab to view pending link requests.

  5. In the Links section, locate the link request you want to respond to in the links table. The table displays the following information:

    • Link ID – Unique identifier for the link.

    • Link status – Current status of the link request.

    • Link creation date (UTC) – When the request was created.

    • Responder Gateway ID – Target gateway ID.

    • Actions – Available actions for the link.

  6. In the Actions column for the link request, choose one of the following:

    • To accept the link request:

      1. Choose Accept.

      2. In the confirmation dialog, choose Accept to confirm.

      3. The link status changes to Active and bid requests can now flow between the gateways.

    • To reject the link request:

      1. Choose Reject.

      2. In the confirmation dialog, choose Reject to confirm.

      3. The link status changes to Rejected and the connection request is rejected.

Once you accept a link request, the requesting gateway can send bid requests to your gateway. You can view link metrics and manage the connection from the Associated links tab.

Note

You can also choose View details to see more information about the link request before making your decision. The links table also includes action buttons for Accept, Reject, and Delete operations.

Important

Links that are not accepted within 7 days of requesting will time out, and will need to be re-initiated.

Use the following commands to accept or reject link requests using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI).
