Rules & regulations
What local regulators expect before you send. Bird applies opt-out handling on every message; the rest depends on the destination.
Messages with the following contents are not allowed and blocked: - Web Links / URLs - Requests for personal information (e.g. name, email address, identification number, card number, bank account number, email address, etc.) - Phone numbers or email address that end subscribers are requested to dial in. Traffic is divided into domestic and international. The classification is determined by the mobile operator and do note that the lists differ by network, a sender that is local on one network may be international on another.
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.
