# `bird amb stats conversations summary`

## Usage

```bash
bird amb stats conversations summary [flags]
```

## Description

Returns one aggregate row of Apple Messages for Business conversation lifecycle counts (`started`, `reopened`, `closed`, `conversations`) for the requested period. Rows are attributed to when the lifecycle event occurred, not to any earlier outbound message. A conversation can be reopened and closed more than once, so `started`, `reopened`, and `closed` need not sum to `conversations`, and any one of them can exceed it. `period.data_as_of` is the freshness boundary the rollups have reached.

## Examples

```bash
bird amb stats conversations summary
```

| `--compare`         | Set to previous\_period to also include the same statistics for the immediately preceding window of equal length, plus the change between the two, so you can show '+X% vs last period' without a second request. Possible values: previous\_period.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| `--from`            | Inclusive start of the window: a calendar day (YYYY-MM-DD) or an RFC 3339 instant rounded down to the hour. The timezone parameter makes a calendar day local and rounds an instant down to the local hour. Omit timezone to use UTC. When timezone is set, a numeric UTC offset such as +05:45 is rejected; use a calendar day or a Z (UTC) instant. This value must use the same form as to. When omitted, it defaults to 30 days before to for day windows or 168 hours (7 days) before to for hour windows.                                                                 |
| `--response-schema` | Print the fields this command returns, then exit                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| `--timezone`        | IANA timezone identifier used to group statistics, for example Asia/Kathmandu. The default is UTC. Day and hour boundaries, including the default window when from and to are omitted, follow this timezone. When this parameter is set, pass from and to as calendar days or Z instants instead of timestamps with explicit UTC offsets.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| `--to`              | Inclusive end of the window: a calendar day (YYYY-MM-DD) or an RFC 3339 instant rounded down to the hour. The timezone parameter makes a calendar day local and rounds an instant down to the local hour. Omit timezone to use UTC. When timezone is set, a numeric UTC offset is rejected; use a calendar day or a Z (UTC) instant. This value must use the same form as from. When omitted, it defaults to today for day windows or the current hour for hour windows in that timezone. Day windows may not exceed 365 days; hour windows may not exceed 720 hours (30 days). |
