Sinch uses projects to group contacts and apps together to manage and connect a unique set of keys and secret IDs for all your Sinch API products. Contacts can be shared across apps within the same project.

Important Note: If you are self-serve customer who created their account via the Build Dashboard and your Account Manager is listed as onlineteam@sinch.com then you will not be able to create projects or subprojects. In this case if you need to create a project or subproject please reach out to onlineteam@sinch.com who can discuss adding a project on your behalf.

When you create an account on the Sinch Build Dashboard , a default project is automatically created for you with an associated ProjectID. Depending on your requirements, you may need to create additional projects to keep contact lists separate. Click here to learn more about projects.
