Build full-stack apps in Leap that send email and SMS with Bird.

Point Leap at a Bird quickstart and describe the notifications your app needs to send. Leap generates a typed Encore backend endpoint with the Bird SDK, keeps your API key in an encrypted server-side secret, and wires delivery into your application.

Generate a Bird messaging endpoint in Leap and send your first test email in three steps.

Give Leap the Bird quickstart URL, store your API key in Leap Secrets, and trigger a test send from your backend endpoint.

Read the quickstart
Prompt for Leap
Add a backend endpoint to send email with Bird. Follow https://bird.com/docs/get-started/send-your-first-email: use the @messagebird/sdk package and read the API key from a secret named BirdApiKey.

  1. Prompt Leap with the Bird quickstart

    Paste the prompt into Leap’s chat. Leap reads the Bird email quickstart, writes an Encore backend endpoint using the Bird SDK, and declares a server-side secret for your API key.

  2. Save your Bird API key in Secrets

    Create an API key in Bird under Developers and API keys. In Leap, open Settings and Secrets, or click the missing-secret prompt in chat, and save your key in the secret Leap declared.

  3. Trigger a sandbox test send

    Call the endpoint Leap generated to send a test email through Bird’s sandbox addresses before verifying your own domain for customer traffic.

Take your Leap app from sandbox prototype to production delivery. Protect API credentials on the backend, send from verified domains, and surface live delivery status to your users.

Keep API keys in backend secrets

Leap encrypts your Bird API key and injects it into your Encore backend at runtime so credentials stay out of browser bundles and client requests.

Send from verified domains and numbers

Replace the sandbox address with your own verified email domain or registered SMS and WhatsApp senders before launching to customers.

Track delivery with webhooks

Store the Bird message ID returned on send and subscribe to webhook events so your UI reflects delivered, bounced, or failed messages.

Start from prompts that wire transactional messaging into your app.

Copy a prompt into Leap to generate Encore endpoints for welcome emails, shipping alerts, and delivery status checks.

Send a welcome email
When a user signs up, send a welcome email with Bird using the @messagebird/sdk package and the BirdApiKey secret. Store the returned message ID with the user.
Text an order update
When an order ships, send the customer an SMS with Bird, including the tracking link. Use the @messagebird/sdk package and the BirdApiKey secret.
Track delivery
Add an endpoint to read a Bird email message by its stored ID and return its status, so the order page shows whether the email was delivered.

Common questions about building with Leap and Bird

How Leap reads Bird documentation, stores API credentials, and routes regional traffic.

How does Leap learn the Bird API?

Include a Bird documentation URL such as the email quickstart in your prompt, and Leap reads the guide before generating the Encore endpoint and SDK calls.

Where does the API key live?

Store your Bird API key in Leap Secrets. Leap encrypts the value and injects it into your backend service at runtime so credentials stay out of source files and client bundles.

Do I need to configure a regional endpoint?

The Bird SDK detects your workspace region directly from your API key and routes requests to the matching regional host automatically.
