Guides

Guides explain how Bird works and how to build on it: the platform concepts that apply across every channel, plus a deep dive into each channel you send on.

Start with the platform guides if you're wiring up Bird itself — Authentication, how Users, teams & roles and Workspaces fit together, and Billing & usage. The cross-cutting mechanics every integration leans on live here too: Webhooks & events, Idempotency, Errors, and Rate limits.

Then go channel-deep. The Email guide covers sending, sending domains and authentication, dedicated IPs, tracking and metrics, suppressions, and deliverability — everything from your first send to high volume.

New to Bird? The quickstart takes you from an API key to a delivered email; come back here for the why behind each piece.
