Send WhatsApp updates, passcodes, and interactive replies from one API.

Deliver order confirmations, one-time passcodes, rich media, and interactive buttons or list menus right into your customers’ WhatsApp chats. Bird validates template parameters and checks the 24-hour customer service window before dispatching, preventing failed calls and surprise charges while streaming delivery and read receipts back to your app.

Send your first message in minutes with our TypeScript, Python, Go, or PHP SDKs, the Bird CLI, or direct HTTP requests. Start immediately with Bird’s pre-approved templates while your own WhatsApp Business number is being verified.

Templates and 24-hour window

Send the right format inside or outside the 24-hour window.

WhatsApp separates business-initiated outreach from active customer conversations. Reach customers outside an active chat using Meta-approved utility, authentication, or marketing templates, then switch to free-form text, media, and interactive menus for 24 hours after they message or call you.

Catch closed windows and variable mismatches upfront

Bird tracks the 24-hour customer service window per recipient and business number. If your app tries to send a free-form message after the window closes, or passes template variables that do not match your placeholders, the API rejects the call before anything is created or billed.

Rich media, interactive buttons, and list menus

When a conversation is open, send images, PDFs, audio clips, videos, locations, or contact cards from a single endpoint. Add quick-reply buttons, multi-option list menus, product carousels, or location and contact requests so customers can tap instead of typing.

Real-time delivery tracking

Track messages from API acceptance to read receipt.

Sending on WhatsApp is asynchronous. Once Bird accepts your request, webhook events and the per-message timeline show when the message is handed to WhatsApp, delivered to the customer’s phone, and opened in chat.

Diagnose rejections with Meta error details

If a message fails after acceptance, such as when a service window expires in flight or Meta blocks delivery, Bird records the failure description and underlying Meta error code on the message record so your team knows whether to retry or switch channels.

Prevent duplicate sends on network retries

Include an idempotency key with your send request so a timeout or worker retry within the retention window replays the original response instead of sending a duplicate message.

Context for two-way workflows

Keep customer replies connected to the right order or ticket.

Quote an earlier message so your customer sees which question or order you are answering right in their chat. When a customer taps a quick-reply button, picks a list option, or replies to a recent message, Bird returns the selected action and quoted message reference so your app can route the response immediately.

Tag and attach metadata to outbound sends

Add up to 20 filterable tags and 2 KB of custom JSON metadata to an outbound message. Slice message logs by campaign or workflow, and keep your internal order or ticket IDs attached to the outbound record across API reads and delivery webhooks.

Operate from your codebase, terminal, or AI agent

Send test messages, inspect delivery timelines, and filter recent history from the Bird CLI or connect your coding assistant through the Bird MCP server, governed by your workspace’s role and sender permissions.

WhatsApp sending questions

¿Una solicitud aceptada significa que el mensaje fue entregado?
No. La admisión en la API, la aceptación de Meta, la entrega y las lecturas son observaciones distintas. Confirma el estado del mensaje relevante y el resultado de negocio por separado.
¿Puedo enviar mensajes de formato libre en cualquier momento?
Las respuestas de formato libre dependen de la ventana de atención al cliente y del tipo de contenido admitido. Fuera de esa ventana, usa una plantilla aprobada elegible.
¿Existe un endpoint de lote en WhatsApp?
La API de mensajes publicada envía mensajes individuales. Controla el ritmo de distribución de tu aplicación usando los límites documentados; no asumas que un endpoint de difusión de correo también envía WhatsApp.
¿Cómo asocio una respuesta interactiva con mi aplicación?
Usa identificadores de respuesta explícitos junto con el estado de conversación o tarea que almacenas. Una referencia de mensaje citado puede ayudar cuando está disponible, pero los metadatos del mensaje saliente no se heredan automáticamente en la respuesta.
