Programmatically send outgoing sms/mms messages. Covers 1 operations with apiKey authentication.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the TextBetter API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the TextBetter API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Ftextbetter.com%2Ftextbetter" | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Ftextbetter.com%2Ftextbetter" | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

★ Communications Operations

Use the TextBetter API to perform communications operations programmatically. The API provides 1 endpoints covering core functionality including send outgoing sms/mms messages.

Call POST /SendOutgoingMessages to send outgoing sms/mms messages

Data Retrieval and Monitoring

Query TextBetter API resources on a schedule to track changes, generate alerts, or feed downstream dashboards. Agents poll relevant endpoints, compare against previous state, and trigger actions when thresholds are crossed.

Poll the primary TextBetter API endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call TextBetter API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle apiKey tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'send outgoing sms/mms messages', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Wiring the TextBetter API by hand means learning its X-API-Key header auth against the api2.textbetter.com/api host and coding its outgoing-message call yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the TextBetter API from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

TextBetter carries the recipient and message in the request body rather than a resource id in the URL path, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as sending outgoing messages. You choose the operations it may call, so it runs only the endpoints you allow.

Credential isolation

Your TextBetter API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'send an outgoing SMS or MMS message', and Jentic returns the matching TextBetter API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using TextBetter API through Jentic.

What authentication does the TextBetter API use?

The TextBetter API uses an API key passed in the `X-API-Key` header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.

Can I send outgoing sms/mms messages with the TextBetter API?

Yes. Use the POST /SendOutgoingMessages endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the TextBetter API?

Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.

How do I send outgoing sms/mms messages through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'send outgoing sms/mms messages'. Jentic returns the matching TextBetter API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the TextBetter API have?

The TextBetter API exposes 1 endpoints covering messages operations.
