Three steps to WhatsApp messaging.

Create an account, send your first message on a Bird-managed template, then register your own WhatsApp Business phone number through Bird.

From sign-up to first WhatsApp delivery in an afternoon.

Follow these three steps and you'll have WhatsApp sending production messages through Bird.

  1. 01

    Sign up for Bird.

    Create your account and get an API key straight away. Sending draws on your organization's prepaid balance, so top it up before the first message goes out.

  2. 02

    Send your first WhatsApp message.

    Send a Bird-managed template with one API call. It is already approved and picks its own sender, so it lands on your phone before you own a number. Sending guide

  3. 03

    Register your phone number.

    Register a WhatsApp Business phone number through Bird, submit your display name and profile for Meta review, and you're ready for production traffic. Phone number setup guide
