DescribeHandshake

Retrieves information about a previously requested handshake. The handshake ID comes from the response to the original InviteAccountToOrganization operation that generated the handshake.

You can access handshakes that are ACCEPTED, DECLINED, or CANCELED for only 30 days after they change to that state. They're then deleted and no longer accessible.

This operation can be called from any account in the organization.
