SMS: send text messages and templates, now available to all workspaces

feature

SMS sending is now available to every Bird workspace. Send a message in seconds and follow it all the way to delivery, on whichever surface you build on.

Getting started

What's available

  • Free-form text SMS: send your own message text with an alphanumeric sender, gated by per-country policy and your workspace's enabled destination countries.
  • Send by template: send a ready-made Bird SMS template by name, with your own variables.
  • Delivery tracking: get a message, list your messages, and follow each message's delivery timeline — or receive sms.* webhooks as status changes.
  • Everywhere you build: the SMS API, the dashboard (message log, send, templates, metrics, and destination settings), the bird sms CLI, and the Go, TypeScript, and Python SDKs.

More is on the way — customer-authored templates and additional languages 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.
