To add a new sender, click on the "add sender" button and follow the steps below to submit a new sender request - 

1. Choose the registration method: 

   Depending on your choice, you can either register a sender with a [phone numbe](/truecaller-for-business/business-chat/senders/sender-assets/phone-number.md)r as your unique identifier or an [alphanumeric Sender ID](/truecaller-for-business/business-chat/senders/sender-assets/sender-id.md). 
2. Type all the basic details listed below and click on the "save and continue" button to move to the second step.

      4. **Service**: This category is used to engage users for support or service-related communication. This includes helpdesk replies, ticket updates, appointment confirmations, and post-sale support interactions.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note:

* A sender can be assigned to only one category. You should always send messages for the assigned category.
* Non-compliance will lead to the disqualification of senders and also lead to a suboptimal messaging experience.
* It is not encouraged to mix traffic through a sender, as this might lead to unexpected outcomes.
