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
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.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the TextIt API to your agent
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.
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%2Ftextit.in%2Ftextit" | sh2
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%2Ftextit.in%2Ftextit" | 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.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with TextIt 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.)
Use Cases
Patterns agents use TextIt 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

Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring TextIt by hand means setting up its API-token auth against textit.in and handling the messaging and flow endpoints yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import TextIt from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
TextIt keeps message, contact, and flow targets in the request body on endpoints like /broadcasts.json and /contacts.json, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as listing archives or sending a broadcast. You choose that set, so destructive operations like deleting a contact are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your TextIt API token 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 a broadcast' or 'list message archives', and Jentic returns the matching TextIt operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using TextIt 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 your Jentic One instance 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 through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, 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.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the TextIt API?
Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, you set the rules that decide which TextIt operations and credentials your agent may use, so you can grant only the endpoints it needs, such as listing archives with GET /archives.json or sending a broadcast with POST /broadcasts.json. TextIt keeps message, contact, and flow targets in the request body on endpoints like /broadcasts.json and /contacts.json, so scoping happens at the operation level: you choose the set the agent can call. Destructive operations such as deleting a contact with DELETE /contacts.json stay out of reach unless you explicitly add them.
