Introduction

Get started with Bird

Email, SMS, and WhatsApp share one platform, with per-channel endpoints over common infrastructure. Create a key, send your first message, then wire up the rest at your own pace.

Choose a path

Pick a use-case quickstart to go from zero to your first send. Every quickstart provides one guided happy path and is the canonical destination for related channel and product pages.

Explore the docs

Beyond the quickstarts, the documentation has five areas. The Guides explain how Bird works and cover each channel in depth, while the Knowledge base handles operational tasks. The SDKs provide typed API methods, the CLI works in terminals and agent loops, and the API reference documents every endpoint.

WhatsApp template approval

For WhatsApp template approval, create a template, submit it for approval, and check each language's review status.

The Email guide

Email is the deepest section today. Start at the Email overview for the conceptual map, or jump straight to a topic:

• Sending: Sending email, Batch sending, Categories, Rate limits
• Domains & authentication: Sending domains, DKIM, SPF & DMARC, BIMI
• Reputation: Dedicated IPs & pools, IP warmup, Suppressions, Deliverability
• Visibility & testing: Metrics, Stats API, Open & click tracking, Events, Mail sandbox
• Migrating: from SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, or Resend

The SMS guide

Send free-form text or a built-in template; both are available in your workspace. Start at the SMS overview for the map, or jump to Sending SMS, the SMS log, SMS metrics, or Events.

Next steps

After your first send, wire up Webhooks & events to receive delivery events.
