SMS: send text messages and templates, now available to all workspaces
feature
SMS sending is now available to every Bird workspace. Send a message in seconds and follow it all the way to delivery, on whichever surface you build on.
Getting started
What's available
- Free-form text SMS: send your own message text with an alphanumeric sender, gated by per-country policy and your workspace's enabled destination countries.
- Send by template: send a ready-made Bird SMS template by name, with your own variables.
- Delivery tracking: get a message, list your messages, and follow each message's delivery timeline — or receive
sms.*webhooks as status changes. - Everywhere you build: the SMS API, the dashboard (message log, send, templates, metrics, and destination settings), the
bird smsCLI, and the Go, TypeScript, and Python SDKs.
More is on the way — customer-authored templates and additional languages among them.
