Manage Shared Sender IDs

Admin user can configure the owner of the incoming conversation initiated by a customer.

The default configuration for Manage Shared Sender IDs is –

  • If Sender ID is assigned to only one Standard User then the default owner is that Standard User
  • If Sender ID is assigned to multiple Standard Users then the default owner is the Admin User
  • If all the Users in the account are Admin then the default owner is the Admin User who created the SMS-Magic account

The default setting can be overridden to configure the required user to receive the messages in a new incoming conversation initiated by a customer. From Standard users who have the Sender ID assigned to them and all the Admin Users in the account, anyone can be made the owner of such Customer Initiated new Incoming conversations.

  2. You can change this demo user 1, if you want demo user 1 to receive all the new incoming conversation initiated by a customer on this Sender ID.

This setting ensures that the conversations initiated by your customers appear in the Inbox of the users who will be conversing with them.
