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__zoho crm-...` 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.
