Quickstarts

Every quickstart is the same short path: install, authenticate, and send a first email through Bird's shared onboarding sender, with no domain setup. Each one is three copy-pasteable steps that end with a real 202 from the API, sent to a sandbox recipient so the outcome never depends on DNS or a mailbox. The SDKs and the CLI pick the API region for you; only the raw-HTTP page asks you to choose a host. Pick the page that matches your stack.
