In AgentMail's account of a Telnyx integration, an agent without an address obtains an inbox for signing up with Telnyx, a phone carrier, receives a verification code and gets an API key for the service.
The same inbox then provides a continuing contact point for low-balance notices, account suspensions, support and recovery.
