WhatsApp is now a Verify channel

feature

You can now deliver one-time passcodes over WhatsApp, alongside SMS and email. WhatsApp OTPs are sent from the shared Bird Authifly sender — the same "Authifly" brand you already see on our shared email sender — using the built-in authentication template, so there's no template or sender setup required. Support for your own dedicated senders is following shortly.

What's new

  • Enable WhatsApp per country from the Verify → Countries settings in the dashboard.
  • Automatic failover: if the primary channel can't deliver, Verify falls back through your configured channels before giving up.
  • API & SDK: whatsapp is now a valid value for a verification's channel, and country routes accept a whatsapp key in their per-channel settings. This is additive — no breaking change.

Default routing change

Existing phone verifications now default to SMS → WhatsApp → email: SMS stays primary, with WhatsApp as an automatic fallback before email. Countries you've already customized are left untouched.

Commencez avec un seul canal.
Ajoutez les autres quand vous êtes prêt.

Une clé API de test est disponible immédiatement. L'accès production se débloque dès que vous ajoutez un moyen de paiement et vérifiez un expéditeur.
