Create an account & workspace

Signing up for Bird takes a few minutes: enter your details, confirm your email address, and you land in a ready-to-use workspace. This page walks through each step and explains what the account you end up with actually contains.

Go to the Bird signup page and enter your work email address and a password. Use the address you check regularly — Bird sends a verification email there, and it becomes the address your teammates will recognize when you start inviting them.

Right after signup, Bird emails you a verification code. Open the message, copy the code, and enter it on the confirmation screen (or click the confirmation link in the email — either works). Until you confirm, your account exists but can't do much, so if the email hasn't arrived within a minute or two, check your spam folder or use the Resend option on the confirmation screen.

Once your address is confirmed, you're signed in and looking at your dashboard for the first time.

You land in a workspace — where the work happens. Sending, domains, message history, suppressions, webhooks, API keys, and your team all live here, and the dashboard is built around it. Billing, API keys, and settings are reachable from the workspace menu — the dropdown next to your workspace name.

One practical consequence worth knowing even if you never touch the API yourself: an API key belongs to exactly one workspace, so a key can only send and read data in the workspace it was created in. Today you have a single workspace; if your team grows you might add more later to separate things like production from testing. The dashboard tour shows where everything lives.

You don't need to configure anything to see Bird work. Every new workspace can send from Bird's shared onboarding domain immediately — no DNS records, no domain verification, nothing to wait for. It's meant exactly for this moment: proving the pipes work before you set up your own domain.
