| ### Overview: | ||
|
|
||
| <img width="499" alt="image" src="https://github.com/glific/docs/assets/143380171/10aa2a07-ba85-4c3f-974a-cbdd41f71845"/> | ||
| Your organisation's **Gupshup Wallet** is used to send WhatsApp messages through Glific. Maintaining a sufficient wallet balance is essential to ensure uninterrupted message delivery. | ||
|
|
||
| - When the `Gupshup wallet balance` drops to around `$1` an email is sent to the Organization from Glific letting them know the balance is low. | ||
| Glific monitors your wallet balance and notifies to the registered email address added in Glific while filing the onboarding form when it falls below a configured threshold. If the wallet balance is not recharged in time, your organisation may eventually be suspended from sending messages through Glific. | ||
|
|
||
| - The setting of `$1` or any specific amount is configurable at Glific’s end. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Below are the steps on how this can be configured. | ||

| ## Monitoring Your Gupshup Wallet Balance | ||
|
|
||
| You can monitor your Gupshup wallet balance in two ways: | ||
|
|
||
| - **On the Glific platform**, where the current wallet balance is displayed. | ||
|
|
||
| <img width="499" alt="image" src="https://github.com/glific/docs/assets/143380171/10aa2a07-ba85-4c3f-974a-cbdd41f71845"/> | ||
|
|
||
| - **Through low balance warning emails** sent by Glific. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Low Balance Warning Emails | ||
|
|
||
| When your wallet balance reaches the configured **Low Balance Threshold** (for example, **$1**), Glific automatically sends a warning email. | ||
|
|
||
| > **Note:** The threshold amount is configurable and can be changed based on your organisation's requirements. | ||
| More details on who receives these notifications and how wallet balance alerts work are covered in the sections below | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| The warning email is sent to the **email address that was used while creating your Glific app (during the Glific onboarding form submission).** | ||
|
|
||
| If this email address is no longer accessible or needs to be updated, please contact the Glific Support Team on support@gliifc.org with the new email address that should receive these notifications. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Configuring the Low Balance Threshold | ||
|
|
||
| To update the low balance threshold: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Log in to your Glific account. | ||
|
|
||
| 2. Navigate to **Settings**. | ||
|
|

|
|
||
| 3) Click on `Organisation>> Scroll down` | ||
|
|
||
| 4) See the `Low Balance threshold` | ||
|
|
||

| <img width="427" height="302" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b5aa3eb4-6e21-432c-96c1-c6043dcab913" /> | ||
|
|
||
| 5. Enter the desired amount. | ||
|
|
||
| 6. Click **Save**. | ||
|
|
||
| > Adjust this value based on how frequently your organisation recharges the wallet. | ||
| ### Understanding the Wallet Balance | ||
|
|
||
| When your wallet balance reaches **$0**, Gupshup automatically provides an additional **$5 credit**. | ||
|
|
||
| This allows your organisation to continue sending WhatsApp messages until the balance reaches **-$5**. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Example | ||
|
|
||
| - Wallet Balance: **$0** | ||
| - Gupshup allows messaging using an additional **$5 credit** | ||
| - Messages continue to be delivered until the balance reaches **-$5** | ||
|
|
||
| > **Important:** Recharge your wallet before it reaches **-$5** to avoid interruptions. | ||
|
|
||
| If your wallet already shows a **negative balance**, any recharge amount is first used to clear the outstanding balance. The remaining amount is then added as your available wallet balance. | ||
|
|
||
| For example: | ||
|
|
||
| - Current Balance: **-$3** | ||
| - Recharge: **$20** | ||
| - Available Balance after recharge: **$17** | ||
|
|
||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| ### Minimum Wallet Balance | ||
|
|
||
| To avoid any disruption in message delivery: | ||
|
|
||
| - Regularly monitor your wallet balance. | ||
| - Recharge before the balance reaches **-$5**. | ||
| - Keep sufficient funds in the wallet based on your expected messaging volume. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Essential Guidelines | ||
|
|
||
| - The pre-configured number on the low balance threshold can to be changed according to the Organization need,just edit the number and hit on `Save`. | ||
| --- | ||
| ### What Happens When the Balance Falls Below -$5? | ||
|
|
||
| - This low wallet balance warning emails will be sent to the email address which was initially provided while filling the Glific Form. | ||
| Once the wallet balance reaches **-$5**: | ||
|
|
||
| - If in case the previous email address is not accessible or needs to be modified. Please reach out to the `Support Team` sharing the email address which needs to be set on the warning mails. | ||
| - Gupshup stops processing outgoing messages.Incoming messages still functions as expected? Might be good to add about this too. | ||
| - Message sending fails due to insufficient wallet balance. | ||
| - Glific begins receiving wallet balance errors from Gupshup. | ||
|
|
||
| - Gupshup gives an extra `$5`,when the wallet balance reaches `$0` so that there is no interuption in sending of messages until the balance hits `-$5`. The Organization should always ensure to recharge the Gupshup Wallet before the -$5 gets expired to continue sending messages. | ||
| If Glific receives a significant number of these errors, your organisation is automatically **suspended** to prevent continuous message failures. | ||
|
|
||
| #### How to Recharge Gupshub Wallet Balance | ||
| - Log in to your Gupshup account and navigate to the Wallet section and click on My Wallet. | ||
| - Click the option to Add credits | ||
| - Enter the amount.(Note that minimum recharge is often $10.) | ||
| - Enter the necessary billing information to generate an invoice, such as your name, address, and email. | ||
| - Choose your payment option and complete the payment | ||
| ### Glific Suspension | ||
|
|
||
| [read here](https://support.gupshup.io/hc/en-us/articles/33760266293529-Basics-of-Gupshup-Wallet-and-Billing-for-Prepaid-USD-Wallet) to know more about how to recharge Gupshup Wallet Balance. | ||
| Once your organisation is suspended: | ||
|
|
||
| - You will no longer be able to send messages from Glific. | ||
| - Recharging the Gupshup wallet **does not automatically remove the suspension**. | ||
|
|
||
| - If the balance goes below `-$5`,sending messages will give an error - **the wallet balance is low**. So in this scenario the messages will get delivered to the users until the Gupshup wallet balance reaches -5 $. | ||
| To restore messaging: | ||
|
|
||
| - Glific gets a **balance is not present** error from Gupshup as soon as the wallent balance for an Organization goes `-$5`. | ||
| 1. Recharge your Gupshup wallet. | ||
| 2. Contact the **Glific Support Team** on support@gliifc.org | ||
| 3. The support team will manually unsuspend your organisation. | ||
|
|
||
| - At any moment of time if Glific gets a significant amount of errors,the organization will get suspended on Glific and won't be allowed to send any messages. | ||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| - Once the organization is suspended it won't get unsuspend automatically on Glific,even if the recharge is done on the Gupshup Wallet. | ||
| ### Best Practices | ||
|
|
||
| - To `unsuspend` the Glific account please reach out to the `Support Team`. | ||
|
|
||
| - Monitor your wallet balance regularly. | ||
| - Configure an appropriate low balance threshold. | ||
| - Recharge before the balance reaches **-$0**. | ||
| - Ensure the registered notification email (used while creating the Glific app) is accessible. | ||
| - Keep enough balance based on your expected messaging usage instead of relying on the temporary $5 credit. | ||
