The list picker gathers the experience. The time picker returns a request. Your booking system checks current availability before the studio confirms a visit.

Example content and data. No message or booking is created. The customer starts the conversation; a selection remains a request until the studio confirms it.

YOUR BUSINESS / REQUEST HANDOFF

A familiar conversation.
A real service behind it.

The customer begins at an approved business entry point. A picker selection is a request; the studio checks availability.

No current confirmed visitFieldnotes Studio is fictional. This local example changes no booking; the booking system owns confirmation.

Open entry → customer sends → native list choice → pending request → studio decision → reply or human handoff.

What each channel action establishes

Use the selected Apple business and opaque conversation identity. Ordinary messages reply to an open customer conversation; they do not use a phone number, a WhatsApp service window or a WhatsApp template.

Quick replies suit two to five simple choices. Use a structured list or time picker for a richer decision, retain stable reply references, and validate current availability in your application.

Apple gateway acceptance does not establish device delivery or a completed service. Authentication and Apple Pay use their dedicated setup and owners; a payment authorization still needs the merchant’s confirmed processing result.

Invitation Messages need separate entitlement, explicit consent and opt-out handling. Complete Apple registration, connect your provider and pass Experience Review before launch.

Prepare a launch readiness brief

Add your business, region, entry, service-system owner and staffed handoff, then mark the five checks. After any edit, prepare the brief again. Nothing is submitted.

Apple Messages, answered.

Can I switch this on immediately?

Apple Messages is available now. Create your workspace, complete Apple business registration and connect your provider. Apple’s Experience Review is required before launch.

Who confirms a booking or order?

Your business systems remain responsible for availability, payment outcomes, and order or appointment confirmation. The conversation gives customers a useful interface to those systems.

Where should we start?

Start with the customer service you want to offer, your approved business entry points, and the systems that will handle requests. Bird can help scope onboarding and the supported interaction before you build.

How do I get started or speak to sales?

Follow the setup path and speak to our team about your use case, migration and supported account scope.
