Verify: send and check one-time passcodes, now available to all workspaces

feature

Bird Verify is now available to every workspace. Send a one-time passcode and confirm the code your user enters in two API calls — no sender to register, and no verification id to store.

Getting started

What's available

  • Send and check: start a verification with POST /v1/verify/verifications — which also resends after the cooldown — then confirm the code with the check endpoint. A code can be checked once.
  • Email and SMS with failover: pick the channels and their order; if the first channel can't deliver, Verify falls back to the next one on the same code budget.
  • Per-country configuration: set channel availability and order, per-country senders, and a verified-domain email sender — a per-workspace overlay on Bird's per-country base.
  • Built-in safety: code length and lifetime, maximum attempts, resend cooldown, and per-recipient and per-workspace rate limits, all configurable.
  • Everywhere you build: the Verify API, the dashboard (onboarding, verifications log, countries, and configuration), the bird verify CLI, the Bird MCP server, and the Go, TypeScript, and Python SDKs.

More is on the way — WhatsApp and voice channels, dedicated senders, and customer-authored templates among them.

Start with one channel.
Add the others when you're ready.

A test API key is yours immediately. Production unlocks when you add a payment method and verify a sender.
