For Agents
Programmatically list archives of messages and runs, send a broadcast message. Covers 17 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to archives of messages and runs, I want to send a broadcast message, Search for broadcasts, Find all or update a contact
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the TextIt 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.
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic 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.
What an agent can do with TextIt API API.
List archives of messages and runs
Send a broadcast message
Create or update a contact
Delete a contact
Perform bulk contact actions (add/remove groups, etc.)
GET STARTED
Not supported: Does not handle payments, crm, or developer tools — use for communications only.
TextIt is a visual flow builder for SMS, voice, and messaging apps. The v2 API provides a RESTful JSON interface for managing contacts, broadcasts, campaigns, flows, messages, and more. The API exposes 17 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Patterns agents use TextIt API API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Communications Operations
Use the TextIt API to perform communications operations programmatically. The API provides 17 endpoints covering core functionality including list archives of messages and runs, send a broadcast message, list broadcasts.
Call GET /archives.json to list archives of messages and runs
Automated Archives Management
Automate archives operations by combining multiple TextIt API endpoints. Agents can send a broadcast message and then list broadcasts in a single workflow.
Call POST /broadcasts.json to send a broadcast message, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call TextIt 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 'list archives of messages and runs', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
TextIt API apiKey credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'list archives of messages and runs') and Jentic returns the matching TextIt API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct TextIt API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Specific to using TextIt API API through Jentic.
What authentication does the TextIt API use?
The TextIt API uses an API key passed in the `Authorization` header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I list archives of messages and runs with the TextIt API?
Yes. Use the GET /archives.json endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the TextIt 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 list archives of messages and runs through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'list archives of messages and runs'. Jentic returns the matching TextIt API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the TextIt API have?
The TextIt API exposes 17 endpoints covering archives, broadcasts, contacts operations.
/contacts.json
Delete a contact
/contact_actions.json
Perform bulk contact actions (add/remove groups, etc.)
/flows.json
List flows
