Managed Accounts is a limited-release feature, enabling qualifying users to create sub-accounts with advanced management features. A Managed Account is a sub-account created from within an existing Mission Control Portal account (which we call a Manager Account). They are an intuitive way of administering multiple accounts and users from one unified interface.

For Telnyx users that leverage the Manager Account functionality, there are a couple of important updates that go into effect today. 

__Update 1: Deprecation of support for certain fields in Managed Account API__
- For all new accounts enabled to use this feature, the following fields will no longer be populated when listing managed accounts:
  - api_key
  - api_token
  - api_user
  - balance
- The current functionality will be maintained for existing users, though there will be a deprecation timeline communicated on this in the future.

__Update 2: New capability on the manager account__

- From today, Manager Accounts can instead control Managed Accounts using its Manager API key by passing in the correct header.
      - curl --location --globoff 'https://api.telnyx.com/v2/addresses?page[number]=1&page[size]=20' \
    --header 'x-managed-account-id: xxxx' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer KEYxxx'
- For more information on this, please refer to our [Developer Documentation](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/account/managed-accounts).

Today we are excited to announce Telnyx’s integration with Node-RED!

[Node-RED](https://nodered.org/) is an open-source programming tool that offers a visual development environment for building applications. Node-RED's flow-based programming model allows users to interconnect pre-built nodes to create services and applications.

These nodes each perform a unique task or function – reading data from a sensor, processing data, decision-making, interacting with external systems, and more. By dragging and dropping these nodes onto a canvas and linking them together, users can visually construct and configure an application's logic flow.

Telnyx has several resources to help you make the most out of the node-red-telnyx integration including [Node-RED pages](https://flows.nodered.org/node/@telnyx/node-red-telnyx), Telnyx’s [Node-RED developer documentation](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/development#node-red), and [example flows](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/5aa1fec6ccb1ef9a719c6a78b838eb31). If you encounter any issues or need help with the integration, you can reach out to the Telnyx team through the GitHub issue reporting platform of the node-red-telnyx repository.

[Contact our team of experts](https://telnyx.com/contact-us) with any further questions. 

Happy building!

Team Telnyx

This integration allows users to build logic flows in a low-code, drag and drop environment

Today, we’re proud to release [Global Edge Router](https://telnyx.com/products/global-edge-router "Global Edge Router") in open beta! 

Global Edge Router allows businesses to manage their low-latency, highly-available applications and services anywhere in the world.

What’s more, Global Edge Router enables automatic failover between all major cloud providers, empowering businesses to diversify their cloud insfrastrutue—increasing flexibility and avoiding vendor lock-in.  

__How does global edge router work?__

Global Edge Router leverages the Telnyx global edge-PoP network and BGP-anycast to increase the availability of services and redundancy. 

Our global edge network consists of 25 PoPs at strategic global sites which enables fast access to services, reglardless of end-user location.

BGP-anycast finds the most efficient routes for data to travel across a network, reducing latency for end-users. 

Global Edge Router also employs BGP-anycast to allow for failover between all major cloud providers. This means services distributed on a multi-cloud network will remain online and available–even in the event of a major cloud outage.

__How can I get started with Global Edge Router?__

To get started with Global Edge Router, [log-in](https://portal.telnyx.com "Mission Control Portal") to the Mission Control Portal and follow the [support guide](https://support.telnyx.com/en/articles/8002565-how-to-configure-global-edge-router-with-telnyx "Configure your edge network with Telnyx") to configure your network.
