The Sent Dashboard
The Sent Dashboard is your central hub for sending messages, managing contacts, templates, generating API keys, and managing your account.
Get to know in minutes the ins and outs of the Sent Dashboard, its features, capabilities and what it can do for you.
- You will need a
Sent account to be able to access the Sent Dashboard
- If you don't have one, you can create yours here
- You will receive an email with a magic verification link to verify your account
Getting Started
The dashboard is available at two levels depending on your onboarding stage:
- Light onboarding (email + phone verified): Access templates, API keys, playground, contacts, activities, and number lookup. The 6 pre-built templates are ready to use immediately.
- Full setup (KYC + channels complete): Unlocks full functionality including your own sender number, custom templates, compliance management, and billing.
If you haven't started yet, follow the Quickstart — you can have API access in ~2 minutes without KYC.

The Dashboard in detail
Overview Page
The Overview page is the first page you will see when you log in to your Sent Dashboard.
It gives you a quick overview of your account, messaging statistics and balance.
Templates Page
The Templates page is where you can manage your templates.
In this page, you can:
- Create new templates (either from scratch or from sample pre-designed templates)
- Import templates from Meta (your WhatsApp Business Account)
- Import templates by defining the template JSON yourself
- View templates status (draft, pending, approved, rejected)
- Edit existing templates
- Delete templates
Once you create a template, it will be automatically submitted for review to Meta for WhatsApp approval, but you can still send SMS messages while the template is being reviewed.
