FAQ.
Is this real-time?
Yes. Synchronous actions return in ~1–4 s. Long-running work uses async polling (see status 504 → switch to async).
Do I get charged on failure?
No. Verified failures cost zero credits. Provider miss / 5xx / timeout cascade to the next provider in the waterfall when applicable.
Does it work with Claude / Cursor via MCP?
Yes. Add the texau MCP server to your client config, then call `texau__reply-...` directly.
What CRMs can I push results to?
HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, and GoHighLevel are bidirectional. Smartlead, Instantly, Lemlist, HeyReach, Apollo Sequences, and Reply.io for outbound.
