Frequently asked questions

Answers for rollout, security, and day-to-day operations.

How quickly can we adopt the CLI?

Most teams install, configure profiles, and automate their first workflow within a single sprint.

Can we manage multiple environments?

Yes. Profiles isolate credentials for sandbox, staging, and production environments with a single config file.

Do CLI commands count against API rate limits?

CLI traffic honors the same rate limits as direct API usage and surfaces headers for monitoring.

Where do we get help if something fails?

Use the support portal for tickets or escalate via Slack channels included with paid plans.
