  description: >-
    The Leadping API helps businesses capture and manage leads, automate
    follow-up, send SMS and MMS messages, place calls, track conversations,
    enforce contact suppression, and analyze communication workflows. Use this
    OpenAPI 3.1 contract to integrate lead sources, build organization tools, or
    generate a typed API client. Authenticate protected operations with a
    Leadping user access token or WorkOS organization API key. Lead intake
    operations also accept a Leadping source key.
