Instructions for number migration
Briefly about migration. Reasons and order of transition
Number migration is transferring Chat API client numbers to the official messengers Business API from Comp. Two main reasons cause the transition:
1- Comp's significantly increased attention to the messengers API, associated with the risks of being banned and losing customer numbers, as well as legal consequences from Comp lawsuits;
2 – Our ability to provide customers with access to the messengers Business API, while maintaining the terms of cooperation and protecting customers from the risk of losing the number.
Your subscription will be rescheduled. We will keep the price you paid us before switching to the messengers Business API.
In some ways, this is a unique opportunity for our customers; no one in the messengers market has ever offered such favorable conditions for connecting MESAPI, and it is unlikely that it will ever be.
The link in the letter carries out the transition or the notification sent to you through the Chat API personal account.
The transition is automated and simplified as much as possible; all you have to do is fill out the registration form. All the MESAPI documentation has already been brought into line with the Chat API documentation; you will not have to rebuild your work - you can immediately start sending simple messages, but to send messages with media files, you will need to master the creation of template messages.
It is also not necessary to pass business verification. Still, if you want to discover more opportunities to work with MESAPI, then go through it in the future, our instructions can help you with this.
The following materials will be useful to you during the migration process:
1 - How is the registration of the number;
2 –How to send messages in messengers Business Manager;
3 –How payment for dialogs in messengers works;
4 –How to add interactive buttons to messages.
Detailed instructions for migrating the number. Answers to basic questions and solving errors
The registration process begins with the transition to the messengers Business API registration form, through which the number is connected to MESAPI. You can find the document in notifications or the Stat API personal account in the block with your instance.
Step one
Follow the link. You will have to check your number for the possibility of creating a MESAPI instance - specify it in the appropriate window, and we will automatically scan it. If everything is fine, you will move on to the second stage.
Before migrating, it is essential to remove your messengers Account from the messengers application -more about this here. If you do not do this, your number will not pass verification.
Step two
Enter your email address and company details and accept the agreement with the terms of the 360 Dialog policy. Everything is quite simple here. Specify your active working email, and in the name of the business, specify the name of the company you represent.
If you do not have a company or other legal entity, specify the name of the business you have and confirm, for example, with a Comp page.
As soon as you accept the agreement, unique, individual login and password will be generated for you to log into the 360 Dialog personal account.
Step three
Communication with Comp Business Manager (Comp Business Manager). Your number is linked through a provider, but with the direct participation of Comp, so it is essential to pay attention to creating an account in Comp Business manager. You can make a personal statement in Comp Business Manager through the registration form, but it is better to do it through the website. This is also mandatory since the messengers Business API is an official Comp solution. Business Info is necessary to check your account for compliance with messengers's trade policy; pay special attention to this.
The most important block for you is information about the company or Business Info. It will need to specify details about your business. We pay special attention to the website – it must be active and relevant; if you do not have a website, you can specify the public page of your business on Comp.
Step four
Enter the unique username and password generated for you.
Continue registering via Comp.
Fill out the application form for a messengers business account, a detailed video instruction will help you with this, as well as this instruction:
Generating API KEY
This is the final step of registration. Generate an API KEY in your 360 Dialog dashboard and paste it into your Chat API dashboard.
That's it, congratulations on the successful registration of the MESAPI number!
After connecting the number, the following MESAPI features will be available to you.
You can send messages without creating templates using our automation tools, but templates are essential for working with MESAPI; they allow you to start communicating with customers. More about it here.
During the registration process, you may encounter the following errors:
1- The SMS with the code does not arrive. When PIN verification of a number or communication with Comp Business Manager does not receive a 6-digit code. In this case, you can use the following procedure to solve the problem:
1 - Check the availability of the phone number and whether you have disabled the ability to receive messages;
2 - Check if the number is not connected to IVR to IP telephony; if yes - disconnect it;
3 - After several unsuccessful attempts, you may be asked to accept a call instead of SMS; try this method;
4 - Try to continue registration using another VPN or log in through another browser;
5 - If the SMS still does not come, then difficulties may be associated with downloading the provider; wait from an hour to two, then try again.
2 - Inability to complete registration of the number.
If this banner does not pass for a long time (from 15 minutes), it means that, most likely, due to the load on the server, the process of creating a stack of numbers was disrupted. Clear the cache, restart the browser and try again. If the banner error does not disappear within 5-10 minutes, write to our support: the number will be connected manually.
3 - Wacore error when trying to send a message. If you have not passed the messengers Trade Policy compliance check, this error appears. The first thing to do is check your Comp Business Manager personal account, Business Info section.
Most likely, the information you provided was not enough for messengers to consider the verification passed. Fill out the Business Info section. If this does not help, write to us, and we will accompany you with additional instructions.
