Frequently asked questions
Short answers. For deeper guides, open the docs or knowledge base.
Product
Is OESCOM Connect multi-channel today?
v1 is WhatsApp-first. Email, SMS, and additional channels are on the roadmap and called out honestly in marketing.
Do I need a Meta Developer account?
Yes for production WhatsApp sending. Quick connect reduces friction when Embedded Signup is enabled; manual Meta credentials remain supported.
Billing
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Manage subscription and invoices from Dashboard → Billing via the Stripe customer portal.
Does a delivered WhatsApp test count if we already chatted?
Yes, if you sent a business-initiated template. Meta bills the template category to your WhatsApp Business Account even when you recently messaged the contact in the WhatsApp app. Connect does not mark up that charge. Personal chats do not open the Cloud API 24-hour window.
What changes on 1 October 2026?
Meta bills utility templates inside the 24-hour window. Service (freeform) replies are billed at the utility rate after 1,000 free delivered service messages per business phone number each month. Unused free messages do not roll over. Marketing stays billed. Connect campaigns send templates, not freeform replies.
Do failed WhatsApp sends use my plan message limit?
No. Connect counts a platform message only after Meta confirms sent or delivered. Payment eligibility failures such as #131042 do not consume Connect quota.
Security
Do you support MFA?
Yes — TOTP, passkeys (WebAuthn), and session management are available in account security settings.
