> **Important** Preview. SmartChat is not listed in the app directories of Zapier, Make or n8n yet. This page only describes what works without a listing.

## What works today

- **Call the REST API** with the generic HTTP or webhook module of the tool. Use an API key in the header `Authorization: Bearer <key>`. Start with `GET /me` to check the connection.
- **Receive events** with a webhook trigger: register the address of the trigger as a webhook endpoint ([Set up a webhook](https://docs.smartchat.marketing/en/guides/set-up-a-webhook/)).
- **Start an automation** from the tool with the secret address of an [inbound webhook](https://docs.smartchat.marketing/en/webhooks/inbound-webhooks/).
- **Use the MCP server** if the tool has an MCP client module: address `https://api.smartchat.marketing/mcp`, sign in with an API key.

## Tips

- Use the level **Read** while you build the flow.
- Calls that send messages need a unique `Idempotency-Key`. Most tools can make a UUID; use one per run, not one for all runs.
- Handle the code [`rate_limited`](https://docs.smartchat.marketing/en/errors/#rate_limited): wait for `Retry-After`.
- A [Postman collection](https://docs.smartchat.marketing/postman-collection.json) and the [OpenAPI file](https://docs.smartchat.marketing/openapi.json) help to set up the calls.
