Rules & regulations
What local regulators expect before you send. Bird applies opt-out handling on every message; the rest depends on the destination.
SenderID needs to be registered over ComReg portal. ComReg is regulatory entity in Ireland. During registration it is important to add Bird as OPA, this means that you are allowing us to send your traffic. ComReg has ETA of 5 days to do the registration. Once registration is done sender ID will be listed on their list which also means it will be added in our system. If sender ID is not registered it will be manipulated to Likely Scam.

One API
How sending works
You send to every destination through the same endpoint and the same keys. Bird picks a compliant route for the country, applies opt-out handling on every message, and reports delivery from carrier receipts. The country-specific part is which sender you register. The API call does not change.
