Quickstart: send your first message

Create your workspace

Sign up at app.heyservus.com/register with a workspace name, your name, work email, and a password of at least 8 characters. The first user becomes the workspace Owner.

Email verification is required. After signup you'll see a "check your email" screen — click the link we send before you can enter the app. Every new workspace starts on the Free plan (up to 500 messages a month).

Connect a channel

Open Channels and link the account you'll send from — pair a WhatsApp number by QR, enroll a phone as your SMS gateway, or connect an email sending domain. See Connect a channel for each path.

Send from the portal

Use Compose to send a one-off message: pick a channel, enter the recipient, type the body (or choose an approved template and fill its variables), and send. A fresh send is Queued, then moves through the outbox to Sending → Sent → Delivered (and Read, where the channel supports it).

Send from the API

For programmatic sending, mint an API key under API keys with the Send scope, then call the messages endpoint. The tenant is always derived from the key — never from the request body.

• POST https://api.heyservus.com/v1/messages
• Header: X-Api-Key: sk_live_…
• Body: { "channel": 1, "to": "+15551230000", "body": "Hello from Servus" } (channel 1 = WhatsApp).
• A fresh enqueue returns 202 with { id, status: 0 }; poll GET /v1/messages/{id} for delivery status.

Next steps

From here, build a reusable template, broadcast it as a campaign, handle replies in the shared inbox, and wire webhooks to react to inbound events.
