​
Setup

You will need a MessageBird account with an access key and an originating phone number. In Courier, navigate to the MessageBird Integration page, enter your access key and originator number, then click “Save.”

​
Profile Requirements

To deliver a message to a recipient over MessageBird, Courier must be provided the recipient’s SMS-compatible telephone number. This value should be included in the recipient profile as phone_number. 
{
  "message": {
    "to": {
      "phone_number": "+12025550156"
    }
  }
}

​
Overrides

Overrides can be used to change the request body and config that Courier uses to send a message through MessageBird. You can override the accessKey via config, and any of the message body fields via body. 
{
  "message": {
    "template": "NOTIFICATION_TEMPLATE_ID",
    "to": {
      "phone_number": "+12345678901"
    },
    "providers": {
      "messagebird-sms": {
        "override": {
          "body": {
            "originator": "MyCompany"
          },
          "config": {
            "accessKey": "<override access key>"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
Everything inside of message.providers.messagebird-sms.override will replace what Courier sends to the MessageBird SMS API.
