Subprojects always belong to a parent project and are like projects in the sense that they are also a way to group resources together dynamically. However, they differ from projects as they do not affect billing instead relying on their parent project for billing purposes. Subprojects cannot have other subprojects attached - only parent projects (a.k.a. projects) can have subprojects.
A great example of how subprojects can be useful is when acting as an application service provider (ASP) for Sinch Products. The ASP can create a subproject for each new customer and simply remove the subproject if the customer leaves. Usage for each customer is measured separately.
You can access subprojects from the Projects top menu or from the Projects page in the Sinch customer dashbaord:
To create a new subproject click CREATE SUBPROJECT. The Create subproject dialog is displayed:
Enter a name for your new subproject in the Name field. Click CREATE. The new subproject is created and displayed at the top of the list on the Subprojects page:
Note: After creating a new subproject, you must create a corresponding Service API if you want to send SMS messages using that subproject.
To view the details for a subproject click the options icon (three vertical dots highlight in red above) to the right of the current project name. The subproject details are displayed:
The project details panel contains the following information and options:
Name |
Displays the subproject name in the format: |
Project ID |
Displays the Project ID. To copy the Project ID to your clipboard, click the copy icon. |
General Settings | Configure the subproject settings including changing the subproject name. |
Access keys | Shows you the access keys for your selected subproject. A unique API key can be generated for each subproject in the customer dashboard, but it is also possible to use the key of the parent project to access subproject resources. Learn more about access keys and how Sinch uses them. |
Following a successful early release for selected customers, on 3 June 2024 Sinch will continue to roll out a new single sign-on login experience that will allow you to seamlessly login to any existing Sinch services that you may use. The best part is that your existing login credentials (for Sinch Dashboard or Mailgun Control panel) will be migrated across to create your new Sinch ID.
Your Sinch ID is a single user identity for all Sinch products and services. With Sinch ID, you can use one set of login credentials and two-factor authentication (2FA) to login to multiple dashboards within our communications ecosystem. We are starting with the Sinch Dashboard and the Mailgun Control Panel, where using the Sinch ID you can now use the same credentials to access both platforms.
Your Sinch ID will be managed in its own application (https://id.sinch.com), where you can:
Important: This change will not affect all users and is being rolled out in a phased manner.
As an existing customer, you do not have to do anything – your existing email/password and 2FA will be automatically migrated to a Sinch ID.
You will however, notice a different sequence of login pages when you try to log in. But don’t worry, we will guide you step-by-step through the new experience below.
The new login experience is straightforward – we will walk you through the steps below:
