The table consists of six columns:

  • ID: The sender number for delivery channels is a unique identifier assigned to a specific messaging channel, such as SMS, Email, Push, or WhatsApp.

    For SMS, the sender numbers are used numerically to identify the origin of text messages sent to mobile devices. Here are the common types of sender numbers used for SMS:

    1. Short Codes: These are 5 to 6 digit numbers, often used for bulk messaging and marketing campaigns due to their ease of recall.
    2. Long Codes: Also known as standard phone numbers, they usually have 10 digits and are used for more personalized, two-way communication.

    For Email, it is the email address from which an email is sent

    For Push notifications, it is a unique identification used by mobile applications to authorize and send messages to the intended users' devices. That is, integrated mobile apps will show their integration codes for push notifications.

    For WhatsApp, it is a unique identifier that a business uses when sending messages to the customers on WhatsApp.

  • Alias: It is an easy-to-remember label for each sender ID, used for quick identification.

    The Alias will be displayed as the message originator when it is received at its destination.


  • Type. Displays the channel type associated with the sender.

    For SMS, the type is MT (Mobile Terminated), MO (Mobile Originated) or both (bidirectional), and the code can be Shortcode or Long Code.

  • Live Chat: Use the sender exclusively for the Live Chat platform.

    The gray checkmark indicates that the sender is available for Live Chat, yet it has not been activated.

    The green checkmark means that the sender is ready and currently active, exclusively for Live Chat.

    When the sender is active for Live Chat, every incoming message or keyword sent through the designated sender ID and channel type will be directly routed to the live chat agent, without the need to set up a chatbot campaign.

    📘

    NOTE

    Only the checkmark is available for those senders that are bidirectional (MT / MO), from SMS and WhatsApp type.

    For more information to activate the sender exclusively for the Live Chat platform, go to the Live Chat Connection section.

  • Date created: Date when the sender ID was added on the platform.

  • Actions: Shows two actionable icons, an eye icon to visualize further details of the engagement sender, and, if applicable, an editing tool for modifying a particular aspect of the sender.

    When selecting the View Details icon (eye symbol) for any WhatsApp sender listed under the Enabled Channels section, a summary window will appear displaying the sender’s configuration details.
    This view provides a structured summary of the sender’s configuration parameters, including the following fields:

    • Channel: Indicates the communication channel type. In this case, it will display WhatsApp, confirming the sender is configured for WhatsApp Business messaging.
    • ID: Shows the phone number assigned to the sender.
    • Alias: Displays the custom or friendly name associated with the sender.
    • Status: Indicates the current connectivity state of the sender with the platform. A status of CONNECTED means the sender is actively linked and able to send and receive messages.
    • Quality Rating: Reflects the performance level of the sender, based on user engagement and message quality as determined by Meta. A High rating suggests good message delivery performance and user experience.
    • Tier: Displays the messaging tier level assigned to the sender, which determines the maximum number of business-initiated conversations allowed per day. For example, a Tier value of 1,000 allows up to 1,000 customer-initiated conversations daily using approved templates.
    • Live Chat: Indicates whether the sender is currently enabled for live chat interactions. A checkmark confirms that live chat is active for this sender.

    For a detailed explanation of Tier levels, Quality Rating values, and Status definitions, please refer to the corresponding documentation section: WhatsApp Sender Quality Rating & Status.
