SAC 360º - Difference between names

🟢 1. Contact name in SprintHub (Contact registration)

It is the name you set within SprintHub when registering or editing a contact in your database.

✔️ Characteristics:

  • Can be changed manually by you at any time.

  • Is saved in your contact database.

  • Is used for filters, automations, campaign sending and internal organization.

  • Whenever the contact sends a message, this name will be prioritized on SprintHub screens (when present).

👉 Example: You registered "João da Silva" as a contact. Even if WhatsApp sends "João 🐱", SprintHub will display João da Silva.


🔵 2. Name that comes from WhatsApp (360° Support)

It is the customer's WhatsApp profile name, sent by the WhatsApp API when they start a conversation.

✔️ Characteristics:

  • Comes directly from WhatsApp and cannot be changed by SprintHub.

  • Changes automatically if the user changes their name on WhatsApp.

  • Is visible in 360° Support as WhatsApp Name or WhatsApp Profile.

  • If the contact is not saved in SprintHub, this will be the name displayed initially.

👉 Example: The customer's name is “Maria 🌼” on WhatsApp. If she was never registered in SprintHub, this will be the name shown.


🆚 How does SprintHub decide which name to show?

The rule is simple:

Situation
Displayed name

Contact registered in SprintHub

SprintHub Name

Contact not registered

WhatsApp Name

Registration exists, but without a name

WhatsApp Name


🛠️ Where to view each name?

📌 In 360° Support (Kanban Mode):

  • Main name → 🟢 SprintHub Name (if exists)

  • Below: "Name on WhatsApp" → 🔵 real profile name

📌 In 360° Support (List Mode):

Main name → 🟢 SprintHub Name

If the contact does not have a registered name or is outdated in SprintHub → will be displayed exactly the WhatsApp profile name.


✏️ When to use each one?

Use the SprintHub Name when you want to:

  • Standardize names

  • Create organized contacts

  • Use in campaigns and automations

  • Identify recurring customers

Use the WhatsApp Name when:

  • The customer is not yet registered

  • You need to validate who the customer is on WhatsApp

  • The name saved in your database is incorrect
