Using the Partner Hub to manage Clients and Channels

See channels / numbers

As soon as you enter the 360dialog Partner Hub, under the WABA tab, you will see one card for each channel/phone number submitted.

A short summary of the account statuses and information are available in this card, as well as immediate actions required from the client. For more details, you can click the Show details button.

Manage specific number

After clicking in Show details, a new page will open (with a new URL) showing the management options for this phone number in the WABA.

Generate API key

To generate an API key on behalf of the client, they must give you permission to manage their account. Permissions are standard based on payment type of the account, meaning:

Direct Payment channels

Partners must request permission to Manage accounts via Integrated Onboarding by calling the /permission screen.
Not Permitted Partner users have "Generate API Key" button greyed out.

Clients can manage the API permissions of the Partner anytime accessing the 360dialog Client Hub → click on their profile in the top Menu → “Partner” → The current permissions will be listed and can be edited.

Partner Payment channels

Accounts onboarded under the Partner Payment type have permissions shared by default.
When Partner has Permission, Clients see the Generate API Key button greyed out with the message "API keys are disabled for this number. The number was shared with your integration partner. With your permission the partner has access to the WhatsApp Business API on your behalf. To manage permissions go to “Organization Settings” or contact your partner."

Permitted Partner users have "Generate API Key" in their WABA Management App active.
Clients can still remove Partner permission in their settings page to regain access to API Key management.

Please note that for the permission flow to function properly, you must have a Redirect URL set in your Partner Account. If the Redirect_URL is not set, the system will use http://app.360dialog.io as the default.

See how you can request permission of new and existing clients here.

Request cancellation of a number subscription

As per Meta security guidelines, only the client (WABA account owner) can request account deletion. Partners can assist clients through this process but should never go through it for them. If needed, the client can always cancel their subscription directly in the 360dialog Client Hub.

Alternatively, if you wish to stop being responsible for a particular subscription, you can select the "Cancel payment on behalf of the client" button in the Danger Zone in 'Client Details' section of the 360dialog Partner Hub. Once requested, we will stop the subscription charges and allow the client to pay us directly if they wish to. The cancellation rules explained in the Cancellation document will still apply normally.

FundsClient Documentation

Refund unused funds in case of cancellation

If a number is canceled and there is pre-payment balance left, there are two ways to request refunds in the 360dialog Hub:

On the Details section: The Refund button is available under "Billing Information" when the balance amount is above 0 and the number is enabled for pre-payment. If the balance is less than 0, you will see the Add funds button.

On the Insights page: You can refund a number's funds via the Manage funds button, choosing the phone number, and selecting the action "Refund account funds":

Important Considerations for Refunds:

Double-check before initiating a refund: Before processing a refund, make sure to select the correct account and confirm that it is indeed the proper client to be refunded. Once a refund is processed, it cannot be reversed.
Refunds are created per the most current payment: meaning the refund will have the most recent payments transaction (fully or partially) depending on the current channel's balance amount and the latest billable conversation.
1. Example: If the client requests a refund and has not had any billable conversations since the last payment was made, they will be refunded the balance amount, including the payment processing fee. However, if the client has had a billable conversation after the latest payment, they will only be refunded the positive balance amount, excluding the payment processing fee. A credit note will be created for the corresponding last paid invoice.
Refunds are limited to individual numbers: It is not possible to issue bulk refunds to multiple clients or numbers at once. Each refund must be processed on a per-number basis and on a number level.
Refunding is not immediate, it might take up to 48 - 72 hours for refunds to be completed. We kindly request your patience during this period. If the refund takes longer than expected, please feel free to get in touch with our Support Team for assistance.

Refund Examples

Example 1: If the client paid 55€ and had no conversations after the payment, the refund would be the full payment amount of 55€.

Example 2: If the client paid 55€ (e.g. 50€ + 5€) and had conversations costing 5€ after the payment, the refund would be 45€, which is the remaining balance.

Example 3: If the client made multiple payments (e.g. 10€, 20€, and 30€) and the current balance is 25€, the refund would be the latest payment of 10€, and a partial refund of 15€ for the 20€ payment. Refunds are always processed from the most recent payment and onwards, if needed.
