# SAC 360º - Difference between the names

### 🟢 **1. Contact name in SprintHub (Contact registration)**

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

#### ✔️ Characteristics:

* Can be manually changed by you at any time.
* Is saved in your contact database.
* It 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 it exists).

👉 **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 (SAC 360º)**

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

#### ✔️ Characteristics:

* It comes directly from WhatsApp and cannot be changed by SprintHub.
* It changes automatically if the user changes their name on WhatsApp.
* It is visible in SAC 360º 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 has never been 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 can each name be viewed?**

#### 📌 **In SAC 360º (Kanban Mode):**

* Main name → 🟢 SprintHub Name (if it exists)
* Below: "WhatsApp Name" → 🔵 real profile name

#### 📌 **In SAC 360º (List Mode):**

Main name → 🟢 SprintHub Name

If the contact **does not have a registered name** or is outdated in SprintHub → it will display **exactly the WhatsApp profile name**.

* Identify recurring customers

#### Use the **WhatsApp Name** when:

* The customer is not yet registered
* You need to validate who the customer is on WhatsApp
