What Is a Session in 360Messenger?

Last updated on Jun 11, 2026

A Session in 360Messenger represents an active connection between your WhatsApp account and the 360Messenger platform. It acts as a secure communication channel that allows the platform to send and receive WhatsApp messages on behalf of your connected number.

When you scan the QR code and connect your WhatsApp account, a new session is created. This session stores the connection status and enables APIs, automations, webhooks, and integrations to interact with your WhatsApp account.

Why Is a Session Important?

A session is the foundation of all WhatsApp operations within 360Messenger. Without an active session, the platform cannot:

  • Send messages

  • Receive messages

  • Trigger webhooks

  • Run automations

  • Manage contacts and groups
