# `bird sms messaging-profiles`

## Usage

```bash
bird sms messaging-profiles
```

## Description

A send names a profile with `messaging_profile_id` and takes its sender for the
destination country, default category and other defaults wherever the send leaves them
out. A number that receives replies belongs to one profile at a time, and a reply is
attributed to the profile its number is bound to.

Reads return JSON; list is paginated. Mutations take flags and/or a --body-file JSON body (flags overriding); run --example to print the body shape or --dry-run to preview the request. Destructive commands require --yes.
