How To Setup The Channel Organization Sender IDs

How To Setup The Channel Organization Sender IDs

Overview

The Channel Sender IDs are set within each Bot from the IDs available to your Organization. Before creating a Bot you will have to set up the Sender IDs that the Bot will be sent from.


                                                                       

This will be dictated by the channel you want to create your bot for.  For Messenger this will be your Facebook page name, for SMS you can choose either a long code (i.e. a mobile number) or a brand name. Sender IDs can be configured from Settings>Organizations Screen.

If the SMS Sender ID is a long-code the recipients will have the possibility to reply to the conversation. For brand name (short-code), recipients will not have the ability to reply to messages received.
