Granular limits
Daily, monthly and total message caps on every key, plus a ceiling on how many different people it can reach. Add an expiry date and the key switches itself off.

Getting started
Live in four steps
-
01
Connect your number
Scan the QR code in your portal, or request a pairing code if that suits you better. The session stays linked and reconnects on its own.
-
02
Send your first message
A single
GETwith the number, your key and the text. Switch toPOSTwith JSON for files, documents and buttons. -
03
Receive replies
Point us at your endpoint and every inbound message, button tap and file arrives as JSON. Group chats are optional.
-
04
Stay in control
See what sent, what failed and why, how much quota is left, and when each key expires.
API keys
Built for
handing out
Limits live on the key, not the account. Give a client their own key and they can never spend another client's quota or reach their customers.
Webhook control
Send inbound traffic anywhere you like. Filter out group chats, normalise incoming text before it reaches you, and mark messages read automatically.
Full message history
Every send and reply, threaded by number and searchable. Failed sends carry the exact reason next to them, so you are never guessing why something did not arrive.
Support that answers
Raise a ticket inside your account and track the reply against it. Expiry warnings reach you by email before a key stops working, not after.
