The Bird journey
Why choose Bird for WhatsApp?
Choose Bird when you want your WhatsApp API, customer profiles, marketing broadcasts, AI agents, and support inbox unified without managing separate journey-builder and contact-center licensing tiers. Your team can launch a broadcast, automate replies, and resolve escalations from one workspace.
Unified audience and broadcasts
Build audiences from contact properties and webhook events, send approved multi-language templates, and enforce opt-out suppressions automatically.
AI and inbox handoffs
Let AI agents answer common inquiries using your business context and transfer complex threads to human queues with full history.
Outcome and cost visibility
Connect template deliveries, customer replies, and order events in one reporting view alongside transparent per-message pricing.
A practical evaluation
Evaluate the journey across the products you use.
An Infobip deployment often spans messaging APIs, Moments journeys, Conversations queues, and voice routing. Pick a real customer workflow that crosses those product boundaries so your test compares the day-to-day operator experience.
Campaign entry
Document the audience filter, trigger event, and exit rule in Moments, then verify that the same customer enters and exits the matching Bird workflow on schedule.
Conversation ownership
Map queue assignment rules, operating hours, and SLA escalations in Conversations, and test how your support team resolves an unexpected broadcast reply in Bird.
Calling destination
Identify whether inbound and outbound WhatsApp calls terminate in Conversations, SIP trunks, WebRTC, or the Calls API, and verify call permission prompts and routing in Bird.
Shared customer state
Check where opt-in consent, lead status, and order IDs are stored so contact attributes stay synchronized when webhook and message events arrive out of order.
Measure how many steps your team takes to carry one customer from a promotional template reply to a resolved support ticket across marketing and service queues.
Read the Infobip migration guideA deliberate migration
Move the workflow along with the number.
Inventory your WhatsApp senders, approved templates, Moments flows, Conversations routing rules, and SIP or Calls API endpoints so each team knows which customer state and automation logic moves into Bird.
Prepare the assets
Verify Meta Business Portfolio ownership, unlock phone number PINs for embedded signup migration, and export contact opt-in and suppression states.
Rehearse the cutover
Test template sends, inbound reply webhooks, Flow submissions, and queue handoffs on a test sender before moving live traffic.
Protect the customer experience
Close or drain active Conversations tickets and pause recurring Moments broadcasts during the cutover window so customers do not lose context.
