Send messages from your workflows

Bird’s official node is verified by n8n. Send email, SMS, and WhatsApp messages, manage contacts, and run verification steps with an API key. Bird Trigger starts workflows from the events you select.

A node, a key, and nothing else

n8n takes an API key rather than OAuth, and that is deliberate: a self-hostable platform means every instance would need its own redirect URI, so a key is the credential that works the same on n8n Cloud and on your own box.

Install on n8n Cloud or a self-hosted instance with verified community nodes enabled. The node is then available in your workflows.

What the node covers.Send messages, manage contacts, and check delivery with operations generated from the public API.

Messaging, setup, and reporting. Sends, delivery status, event timelines, templates, domains, suppressions, statistics and lookup. Realtime publishing and subscriptions, byte downloads, and redirect-based media fetches are excluded.

$ Email

$ SMS

A trigger that verifies itself. Subscribe to events and the node registers the webhook, checks each delivery's signature, and deduplicates anything Bird sends twice.

$ Bird Trigger

One key, no host. The key's prefix carries the region, so the same credential works on n8n Cloud and self-hosted with nothing else to configure.

Workflows worth building

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.
