In order to sign up, simply go to http://www.messagebird.com or click on this link.

Choose your sign-up method. You may sign-up using Google and Facebook. In this example, we will “sign up with email.”

 

Simply add your email and password. You will need to agree to MessageBird Policies which are available on their website.

 

Select one of the below options. Both options provide the necessary means for 2FA functionality.

In this example, the “Developer” option is selected.

 

The dashboard page will be displayed and you will be asked to verify your email address; go ahead and verify your email address.

API Key

On the sidebar menu, select SMS > API Getting Started.

On the right side of the page, you can view your API keys. For this example, we will be using the Live token.

Sender number

You can purchase and subscribe to a number with multiple capabilities.

However, you only need a number with SMS capabilities for 2FA functionality to work. In order to purchase a number, use the sidebar menu.

Select 'Numbers' > 'My numbers'

On this page, you can select the country and capabilities for your number.

The country will determine the country code of your number, and additionally, there is a regulatory requirement option. Enabling this option will show you numbers that do not require an address or documentation.

Please note: on MessageBird you will need to top up your account in order to purchase a phone number.

Search for a number and select the number you wish to buy.

After you select “Buy”, you will be asked to top up your account. This will be displayed on the right-side panel menu.

Once you top up your account, you will have funds to purchase and subscribe to a number.

Once you have subscribed to a number, go to numbers > My numbers and copy and paste your active number on the MessageBird Phone Number field on Contract Signatures (SMS Shipper Config).

Save the configuration in Contract Signatures global settings

Now you are ready to save the configuration.
