anchorSandbox FAQs

What channels are supported in the sandbox?

The sandbox supports SMS, voice, and WhatsApp messaging along with the ability to integrate with your business systems. APIs are included allowing you to experience how Webex Connect can be used to automate end to end customer experiences. Enterprises which sign up for an imiconnect license are able to access many more, including RCS, MMS, Facebook Messenger, Apple Business Chat, Google Business Messages, email, and others.

Are there limitations on usage with the sandbox?

There are limits imposed on sandbox accounts to ensure that they are used for testing concepts and are not used for spamming. First, sandbox accounts may only send messages to up to 5 numbers, all of which must have consented to receive messaging via an opt in process. Next, sandbox accounts have limits on TPS rates for messaging and flow executions, as well as caps on total messages and calls that they can make. Finally, you can only send messages and call to the same country where you registered a phone number.

Additionally, some of the enterprise-grade features such as single sign-on (SSO), audit trail, ability to create dedicated workspaces for various teams and groups within a large enterprise, and ability to add multiple users to the same account, etc. are available only in full platform mode.
