Portal coverage

Fast onboarding

30-second first call

Get an API key, copy a working request, and test against sandbox-ready flows without leaving the portal.

Channels and trust

Comms + verify

Cover messaging, voice, WhatsApp, email, USSD, verification, and webhook handling through a consistent public contract.

Builder tooling

SDKs + sandbox

Use the explorer, Postman collection, SDK install commands, CLI entry points, examples, and webhook payloads to move faster.

Operational support

Status + console

Treat API keys, usage, status, retries, and support escalation as part of the developer workflow rather than separate afterthoughts.
