Example Use Cases#
Customer Support Ticket Alert System: When a new ticket is created in your helpdesk software (e.g., Zendesk), send an SMS to the assigned support agent with the MessageBird API. This ensures immediate notification, leading to faster response times.
E-Commerce Order Confirmation: After a customer places an order on your website, use the MessageBird API to send an SMS confirmation. Combine it with Stripe to provide payment status updates, ensuring a smooth transaction and enhancing customer experience.
Appointment Reminder Service: Use Google Calendar events to trigger a Pipedream workflow that sends SMS reminders to clients a day before their appointment using the MessageBird API. Reduce no-shows and improve client relations without manual effort.

MessageBird uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your MessageBird account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to MessageBird APIs in both code and no-code steps.
You can get your API Keys in the directly in your MessageBird Dashboard under the Developers section on the left-hand sidebar.
