How do I get an Endear API Key?

Log in to your Endear dashboard, navigate to **Settings > API**, and you can generate or retrieve your unique API Key from there. API access is typically available on professional and enterprise plans.

Can the agent send messages to customers?

This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing customers, notes, and orders. Sending outbound SMS or emails via Endear should be managed through the Endear mobile app or dashboard clienteling interface.

Does the integration show real-time stock levels?

You can retrieve product metadata using the list_retail_products tool. While it shows current product availability, detailed granular inventory across all locations should be confirmed within the Endear inventory module.
