+# MessageBird
+## Provider
+To configure the MessageBird provider, you need to specify an access key.
+
+```yaml
+providers:
+    messagebird:
+        access_key: 'live_qKwVZ02ULV70GqabBYxLU8d5r'
+        debug: true
+        gateway: 240
+        language: en-us
+        voice: female
+        repeat: 2
+```
+
+The MessageBird provider supports text and voice messages.
+For text messages you can configure the following parameters (see https://developers.messagebird.com/api/sms-messaging):
+ * `gateway`: an integer specifying the SMS gateway
+
+For voice messages you can configure the following parameters (see https://developers.messagebird.com/api/voice-messaging/):
+ * `language`: specifies the language in which the message needs to be read to the recipient
+ * `voice`: specifies the voice in which the message needs to be read to the recipient
+ * `repeat`: specifies the number of times the message needs to be repeated
+
+## Receivers
+To configure a MessageBird receiver you must specify a list of targets. By default text messages are send, but you can specify a voice message by setting `type: voice` for a receiver. The `type` defaults to `text`. The `from` field is not used for voice messages.
+
+```yaml
+receivers:
+- name: 'team1'
+    provider: messagebird
+    to:
+      - '+919742033616'
+      - '+919742033617'
+    type: voice
+- name: 'team2'
+    provider: messagebird
+    to:
+      - '+919742033616'
+      - '+919742033617'
+    from: '08039591643'
+    type: text
+```
