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 Verify 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:
whatsappis now a valid value for a verification'schannel, and country routes accept awhatsappkey in their per-channel settings. This is additive, with 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.
