In the template editor, open Pricing and enable Use maximum price. Enter your cap per 1,000 deliveries in the displayed business-account currency, or select a price on the graph. Save and submit the draft to request the pricing change.

Claude: Bird is in the connector directory
Bird is now one click away in Claude. Add it from Claude's connector directory, connect your workspace, and ask Claude to handle your email, SMS, WhatsApp and inbox:
- "Set up acme.com as a sending domain and tell me which DNS records to add."
- "How did last week's newsletter do?"
- "Why are emails to Outlook bouncing?"
- "Draft replies to everything unanswered in my support inbox."
- "Create an inbox for yourself on inbox.ai and check what has arrived."
feature
MCP Events on the Bird MCP server
The hosted Bird MCP server at mcp.bird.com now supports MCP Events. A connected client, such as ChatGPT, can subscribe to what happens in your workspace and receive each event as it happens, so your agent can act on new mail without polling for it.
You can subscribe to new mail in a mailbox, inbound SMS, WhatsApp and Apple Messages, and email deliveries. Filters narrow a subscription to one mailbox, conversation, number or broadcast. Each event arrives at the client's callback as a webhook signed with the client's own key. The client renews its subscription, which lasts up to a day at a time.
Every subscription shows in your dashboard's webhook list with its client, event and filters, and you can delete it there.
