Agency Features
Sub-Account Management & Monitoring
Gain visibility and control over client sub-accounts with real-time usage insights, billing details, and performance monitoring via the AVA dashboard.
Details
The Sub-Account Management & Monitoring tools provide both internal admins and client admins with centralized visibility over account usage, billing cycles, and client engagement quality. With built-in reporting and monitoring features, you can track how sub-accounts are performing, identify risks, and manage account health across your entire client base. Management starts with understanding the structure of your sub-accounts. From there, the Reporting section allows you to monitor client consumption, profitability, and call activity in real time.Managing Sub-Accounts
Sub-account management in AVA revolves around the relationship between your Primary Sub-account (agency operational account) and your Secondary Sub-accounts (individual client accounts). As an agency, you use the Agency Dashboard to monitor client usage, track account activity, calculate billing amounts, and manage profitability across your sub-accounts.
Primary Sub-account (Agency Account)
The Primary Sub-account represents your agency’s operational base:- Tracks:
- Global total minutes consumed across all sub-accounts.
- Agency profit generated through markups on client usage.
- Plan renewal dates and subscription management.
- Serves as the financial and operational overview for your agency.
- In legacy Partner Plans, it also holds and distributes monthly allocated minutes to Secondary Sub-accounts.
- Adding or Managing Sub-Accounts:
From the Agency Dashboard, navigate to Account Manager to:- Add new sub-accounts.
- Update login emails for existing sub-accounts.
-
View usage, balances, and client activity.
💡 Agency Tip:
If your agency has deployed the Web Widget, eligible inbound calls may qualify for a discounted base rate of $0.16/min instead of $0.18/min. This discount applies to the base cost paid by your agency, and can improve your profit margins — especially when markups are configured through Margin Settings.
Secondary Sub-accounts (Client Accounts)
Secondary Sub-accounts represent your individual client accounts:- Operate independently with their own:
- Call scenarios (campaigns and projects).
- Usage reporting (call volumes, statuses, wallet balances).
- Billing cycle dates and renewal management.
- Clients consume minutes (and generate costs) based on actual call usage.
- Agencies manage:
- Wallet balances (remaining dollar value of minutes).
- Spent amounts (cost of minutes consumed during the period).
- Profit margins by applying markups over the base minute pricing.
- Tracking consumption and wallet activity ensures that agencies can bill clients accurately based on real usage, rather than static allocations.
💡 Agency Tip:
Use the Wallet Balance, Spent Amount, and Total Minutes Used metrics in the Reporting section to calculate how much to invoice each client. Profit tracking is automated based on the difference between your base cost and the client-facing markup.
Profits & Stripe Payouts
When clients purchase minutes, the difference between the base price and your markup is tracked as agency profit. Once your total earnings reach a certain value, payouts are processed through Stripe Connect — which must be configured from your Agency Dashboard > Account Manager. Make sure you’ve connected your Stripe account to receive automated payouts. To learn more, see Profits & Payouts.FAQs & Troubleshooting
