Rules & regulations
What local regulators expect before you send. Bird applies opt-out handling on every message; the rest depends on the destination.
Due to country regulations, you are required to register your signature (brand name) and must include it within the SMS content. If not included, your SMS will be blocked by the operators. - Your signature must match your company or brand name exactly. - Your signature can be in English or Chinese and may include numbers and spaces. - Your signature must be appended at the beginning of your SMS, e.g., [Bird] Your code is 1234. To do this, make sure you submit your signature (brand name) within the SMS content in use case section when configuring Sender ID
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.
