Setting up MessageBird (Bird)
From the connector definition itself: where to find the credentials, what they need to be allowed to do, and which API this adapter talks to.
This connector uses the MessageBird API v1 (developers.messagebird.com).
Note: MessageBird rebranded to Bird in 2023 (bird.com). The API endpoints at rest.messagebird.com remain functional for existing customers as of 2025; new accounts may have different endpoint paths. Verify with your account dashboard.
Setup:
- Sign in to https://dashboard.messagebird.com → Developers → API access → Live or Test → copy AccessKey.
- Set
MESSAGEBIRD_ACCESS_KEY.
Authentication: header Authorization: AccessKey ${MESSAGEBIRD_ACCESS_KEY} (literal 'AccessKey' prefix).
Recipients format: international phone numbers WITHOUT the + sign. e.g. 31612345678 for the Netherlands.
Datacoding: 'plain' (default GSM-7), 'unicode' (UCS-2, allows emoji but doubles cost), 'auto' (let MessageBird pick).
Originator: your sender ID. Can be alphanumeric (max 11 chars, sender-name approach) or a phone number you own/lease.
Voice via API: also possible (/calls endpoint) but call flows are complex — out of scope here for the MVP.
Rate limits: ~100 SMS/sec on standard, much higher with dedicated routes. On 429 back off.
