Information:
a. Available Users: The number of available users, to be registered in the Chat Panel (users with agent/supervisor roles that can be created, admins are not included).Example:
The client sends a broadcast message to 100 people (unique phone number), so this will use a quota of 100 WhatsApp balances. The WhatsApp Balance quota will be reduced at the price according to the categoryb. Unique Visitor: contains the accumulative balance of the first / quota subsidy given to the client and the balance of the Top Up monthly unique visitor made by the client.
Contoh:
- Customer A sends messages with the WhatsApp number 628912345678 many times in 1 month. This will use up One (1) unique visitor quota.
- Customer A sends a message but uses a different channel, namely Instagram. Then this will consume One (1) unique visitor quota, which is different from chats from WhatsApp. -
In the WhatsApp balance section, the balance from the Top Up made by the client will be displayed. WhatsApp Balance balance can be used for Business Initiated with three categories (utility, authentication, marketing) and service categories after the WhatsApp Conversation balance runs out.
- WhatsApp Balance can be transferred in the following month if there is still a quota left in the previous month.
- If there is a negative amount in the Additional WhatsApp Balance, the amount will be reduced automatically via the Initial WhatsApp Balance and there will be no change in the WhatsApp Balance usage report.
Sample case:
1. Partial Settlement
You have a negative Additional WhatsApp Balance nominal amount of - IDR 500,000 and an Initial WhatsApp Balance of IDR 350,000.
