## Questions and answers

### What can I do with the Onyx Phone API?

Read your account, lines, recent calls, and texts, send a text from a line, and get webhooks for completed calls, missed calls, voicemails, and texts. See the API documentation.

### Which apps can Zapier connect Onyx Phone to?

Thousands, including Jobber, HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Sheets, and Slack. Phone numbers come in several formats so CRMs can match customers.

### Are texts sent through Zapier or the API billed?

Yes, per segment, as shown on the Usage page. Texts your team sends in Onyx Phone are included in your plan.

### What happens if a key leaks?

Revoke it on this page and make a new one. Revoking stops it at once and removes its webhooks; reconnect your Zaps with the new key.

### What can an AI assistant see?

What your Onyx Phone sign-in can see on the account you choose, such as calls, voicemails, and texts. Disconnect it here at any time.
