- An active Supabase account with read/write permissions
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account

- Step 02
Authenticate Bird
Click "Add Connection" and select Bird from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Bird's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.

- Step 06
