Channels & Connections

Connect & govern every channel

Used byOperations

Connect, configure, and govern every messaging channel from one tabbed manager.

Channels & Connections is the control center for your entire messaging stack, unifying 11 channels including WhatsApp, SMS, Email, RCS, social, and Voice behind a single tabbed manager. It handles the hard parts of going live and staying compliant: provider sign-up, registrations, throttling, sandbox testing, DNS-based email authentication, and live channel health. Instead of juggling separate provider consoles, your team configures, monitors, and audits every connection in one place.

6 use cases

Documented use cases

01

Onboard WhatsApp in minutes with a built-in daily safety cap

Conversational messaging lead / Marketing operations
Problem

Getting a WhatsApp Business account live usually means bouncing between Meta Business Manager, a BSP console, and support tickets, often stalling launches for weeks. Once live, a single misconfigured broadcast can blow past messaging limits, trigger throttling from Meta, and put the number's quality rating at risk.

How BOL7 solves it

Channels & Connections runs WhatsApp onboarding through Meta's Embedded Sign-Up directly inside the portal, so the account, phone number, and provider (Meta Graph or a BSP like 360dialog or Gupshup) are connected without leaving the tab. You then set a Daily Message Cap on the channel to enforce a hard ceiling on outbound volume.

Outcome

Teams get a verified WhatsApp channel live faster and protect their sender quality rating from accidental overspend or limit breaches.

02

Clear 10DLC registration to unlock full-volume SMS

SMS / Lifecycle marketing manager
Problem

US A2P SMS now requires 10DLC brand and campaign registration, and unregistered traffic gets heavily filtered, throttled, or blocked by carriers. Teams that skip or fumble this step see delivery quietly collapse, with no clear error to debug, while also exposing themselves to compliance penalties for missing opt-out handling.

How BOL7 solves it

The SMS channel tab walks you through 10DLC registration and connects to providers like Twilio, so brand and campaign details are submitted from one place. You configure opt-out keywords on the same channel to honor STOP requests automatically and keep the channel compliant.

Outcome

SMS moves from filtered, unreliable delivery to fully unlocked carrier throughput with opt-out compliance handled by default.

03

Ship a website chat widget wired to a working bot flow

Web / Customer experience team
Problem

Standing up website chat typically means a developer hand-codes an embed, hard-wires it to a backend, and redeploys every time the conversation flow changes. Marketing can't preview behavior before launch, so broken or unbound widgets ship to production and silently drop incoming conversations.

How BOL7 solves it

Chat Widget Studio in the Webchat tab lets you build the widget, bind it to a specific bot flow, and see exactly how it behaves in a live preview before publishing. When it's ready, the Studio generates the embed code to drop onto any page.

Outcome

Non-developers can launch a fully functional, flow-connected chat widget with confidence that what they previewed is what visitors get.

04

Pace every channel with precise rate and burst controls

Messaging platform / Deliverability engineer
Problem

Different channels and providers enforce different rate ceilings, and sending too fast triggers throttling, dropped messages, or temporary suspensions. Without per-channel control, one large campaign can saturate a provider and degrade delivery for unrelated transactional traffic on the same connection.

How BOL7 solves it

Channels & Connections exposes per-channel throttling so you set both a sustained rate and a burst limit for each connection independently. Each channel is paced to its provider's tolerance, isolating high-volume sends from time-sensitive transactional messages.

Outcome

Delivery stays smooth and within provider limits, and a heavy campaign on one channel no longer jeopardizes traffic on the others.

05

Validate every channel with a sandbox test before launch

Implementation / QA specialist
Problem

Teams often discover broken credentials, wrong sender IDs, or misrouted webhooks only after a real campaign goes out to live customers. By then the damage is done: failed sends, embarrassing test content reaching customers, and a scramble to diagnose which part of the connection is at fault.

How BOL7 solves it

Every channel supports sending a sandbox test message, so you confirm the connection, sender, and provider are wired correctly without touching production audiences. It's a controlled dry run that exercises the live path before you flip the channel on.

Outcome

Configuration errors surface in testing instead of in front of customers, so launches go out clean and verified.

Authenticate your sending domain to land email in the inbox

Email deliverability / IT administrator
Problem

Email without proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records gets sent to spam or rejected outright, and the failures are invisible until open rates crater. Diagnosing DNS authentication across a registrar, a mail provider, and scattered documentation is slow, error-prone, and easy to get subtly wrong.

How BOL7 solves it

The Compliance tab verifies SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for your Email channel in one view, showing exactly which records are passing and which need attention. The same tab centralizes compliance status across channels, including WhatsApp templates and 10DLC, so authentication isn't a guessing game.

Outcome

Your domain is properly authenticated, giving email the best chance of reaching the inbox and protecting your sender reputation.
