What Foreman does with your calls and texts
Once your Quo line is connected, Foreman treats your phone like the rest of the job file. Ask it where things stand with a client and it reads your calls, Quo's call summaries, your texts and your email together, then tells you what was agreed, what is still open and who owes what.
- Reads call transcripts and Quo's summaries and next steps.
- Reads your text messages with any client, sub or supplier.
- Saves the important facts from a call to the job: people and phone numbers, dates as reminders, scope and decisions.
- Writes texts in your voice. You see the text, can change it, and nothing sends until you tap Send.
- Catches you up on a client in one ask, across calls, texts, email and job notes.

- In Foreman, tap + then Integrations, find Quo phone, paste the key and tap Connect Quo.
- If your Quo account has more than one number, Foreman asks which one to use. Pick your main business line. You can switch it later from the same card.

Already saved the key on your computer?
If your computer is connected to Foreman (Computer Control) and the key is saved in a file there, tap Get it off my computer on the Quo card, or just tell Foreman: "Connect my Quo phone using the key on my computer."
Foreman's server reads the key from the file itself, checks it with Quo and saves it. The key is never shown in the chat or sent to the AI.

Sending texts from Foreman
Reading calls and texts works as soon as you connect. Sending texts through Quo also needs two things on the Quo side:
- Quo's US carrier registration finished (Quo walks you through it; carriers require it for business texting).
- Quo API credits. Quo charges about 1 cent per text segment from the API, and texts fail if the credits run out.
- If a text does not go through, Foreman tells you which of the two to fix.

Privacy and control
- Your key is stored on Foreman's server with your other connections and never shown again.
- Foreman only uses the number you picked.
- Foreman reads on its own, but every text waits for your tap.
- Disconnect any time: + then Integrations, Quo phone, Disconnect. You can also delete the key in Quo under Settings, API.
