Claiming your vendor listing

How to ask for a seat on your company's vendor account, what we check before we grant one, and what happens next.

Last updated 24 September 2026

AEC Integrations compiles its listings from public sources. A claim is how someone who works at a listed vendor asks for a seat on that vendor's account, so they can keep the listing accurate. You do not need an account to send one, and it costs nothing.

Send a claim

Open your company's page, or one of its product pages, and choose Claim this listing. If a colleague already manages the listing, the button reads Request access to this listing instead. It is the same form.

The form asks for:

  • Your name and Your role at the company.
  • Your work email. An address at your company's own domain helps us confirm you. We send the answer there, and it is the address you sign in with.
  • LinkedIn profile (optional). Adding it is the fastest way for us to confirm you work there.
  • Anything we should know? A short note on your connection to the listing, between 20 and 2,000 characters.

Choose Send claim. You will see that we have received it.

A claim on a product page is a claim on the vendor that makes the product. The seat you get covers the whole vendor account, not one product.

What we check

A person at AEC Integrations reads every claim. Nothing is granted automatically. We look at:

  • whether your email domain matches your company's website,
  • your LinkedIn profile, or a search for your name if you left it blank,
  • who already holds a seat on the account, and
  • whether anyone else has claimed the same listing.

We do not use paid lookup services to check who you are. If we need more, we email you.

We do not promise a time for a decision. Some claims take longer to confirm than others.

What happens next

If we approve it, you get an email saying your claim is approved, with a button to your vendor portal. If you did not have an account, we create one for you. Sign in with a one-time link sent to the same address. Approval also starts your company's plan, which Plans and the account label explains. Your seat covers what you can do from there.

If we cannot approve it, you get an email saying so. You are welcome to send a new claim with more detail about your role.

Once you have a seat, your company's requests and their status appear in the vendor portal under Messages.

Vendors whose products are connectors

Some vendors make connector products: software whose job is to carry data between other products. A vendor whose products are all connectors is not invoiced for a seat. It can have a catalogue-maintenance seat instead, which covers its connector listings, the products each connector reaches, and the evidence for each. The portal shows it as Catalogue maintenance seat.

That seat is narrower than an ordinary one. It carries no public account label, cannot confirm data flows, and cannot edit the company profile or product details. Those stay with the AEC Integrations team.

The seat's work is on the Catalogue tab of your connector product: open Products, choose the connector, then Catalogue. The overview links there too. The tab lists every listing in your published catalogue and which product on AEC Integrations each one is. Once we hand the catalogue to your company, each match has an Edit button: you can change the product, rule a product out, mark a listing as outside our scope, set how confident the match is, and add a link that shows the evidence. A match you save counts toward that product's reach on AEC Integrations. Until the handover, the tab is read-only and says we maintain the catalogue. You cannot add a match to a listing that has none yet. We add those.

We handle connector-vendor claims by conversation rather than by the usual approve or decline, so you will hear from us directly rather than by an automatic email.

If your company owns integrations and sells them, it is treated as an ordinary vendor with a plan, not a catalogue-maintenance seat. See Plans and the account label. The integrations it offers through a connector cannot yet be claimed or edited in the portal. Owning an integration explains the limits.
