Workspace and Memebers

As mentioned previously, workspace is to be seen as a team, while members/users are the people working in the team.

note

A workspace can have many members, and a member can join many workspaces in different roles.

Workspace Limitation​

Generally, a workspace is designed for one business and it organizes all the resources for the business, such as payment accounts, email sender profiles, products information, etc. Each workspace has it's own billing and limitation on members, bot users and bots amount (fees applied for flexible add-ons).

1 workspace can connect to:

  • only 1 omni bot (8 channels)

  • only 1 Facebook account

  • only 1 Google account for Google My Business

  • only 1 Google account for Google Sheet

  • only 1 Google account for Gmail

  • only 1 Google account for Dialogflow

  • only 1 Intercom account

  • only 1 Stripe account

  • only 1 PayPal account

  • only 1 Cloudinary account

  • only 1 Calendly account

  • only 1 MongoDB Cloud account

  • only 1 Twilio account

  • only 1 SignalWire account

  • only 1 Message Media account

  • only 1 SendGrid account

  • only 1 MailChimp account

  • up to 10 SMTP profiles (SMTP email sender)

Moreover, 1 workspace can download each mini-app only once. For example, you download a WooCommerce mini-app and connect your workspace to a WooCommerce account, you are unable to download it again for connecting another WooCommerce account. Unless the app developer design it to be connecting more than 1 account.

Important

You are allowed to connect your workspace to only 1 Facebook/Google(for Google My Business) account but you can create bots for more than 1 Facebook Page / Google Business.

Connect to Multiple Facebook Pages / Google Businesses​

facebook/whatsapp-business

You can connect to any Facebook Page / Google My Business and create bots for them as long as you are the owner / admin of those pages / businesses.

When you connect to your Facebook account, make sure you select all the pages that require management, and there you go. For example, you wanted to build bots for your clients, simply have your clients invite your Facebook account to be an admin of their Facebook pages. Same for Google My Business, have your clients invite your Google account to be an admin of their businesses, and then you can build Google bots for them.

Should I use different workspace for different business?​

It's of your choice

Workspace Settings​

Workspace Profile (Timezone)​

To edit the profile of your workspace, click workspace setting and then click on profile in the above screenshot. You can change your logo, workspace name and timezone.

tip

The timezone setting of a workspace will affect how your bot process time value. For example, the system value "BOT_CURRENT_TIME" is different when you have different timezone settings. Moreover, system value "NOW" and "TODAY" is based on bot users' timezones, if they don't have a timezone in profile, workspace timezone is used.
